Hi guys,

This is probably a really dumb question but I have been searching the forum for a definitive answer and been unable to find one.

Question: Is a return air ticket required for a 60 Day Tourist Visa obtained in either KL/Singapore or Penang? If it is, will a ticket booked for 90 days ahead (taking into account a 30 day extension) be acceptable or must it be dated within the 60 days?

My reading of some of the forum posts seems to indicate that a return ticket isn't required to issue a visa but the government info site says an 'air ticket' is required. Does this mean for entry or exit?

Please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks for the great info Astral,

A 60 Day Tourist visa is probably the easiest option for us at this stage. Does it make any difference which consulate we go to? I chose Singapore simply because of the cheaper air fares.

Also, do you know the situ re showing return tickets when applying for a Tourist visa if we enter/leave Thailand by land ?

Thanks again for the help

Hi People- nice to meet you,

My wife (47yr) and I (60yr) have been living in Thailand on a Type 'O' Visa since 31/10/2006. We were originally issued with a 6 month double entry visa in Australia and have extended it twice in BKK for medical reasons ( 90 days and yesterday by 60 days) as my wife is receiving treatment at Jetanin Hospital in Bangkok. Our original purpose in coming to Thailand was to check it out with a view to retirement here.

We were advised by Immigration yesterday that we would not be able to obain a further extension on the Type 'O'. As my wife is still undergoing treatment my question is:

Is it possible to obtain a 60 day tourist visa (say from Singapore) after having resided in Thailand for 10-months on a Type 'O' visa?

I asked at Immigration in Sathorn Rd BKK but was told 'maybe'.

Has anyone had a similar experience with obtaining Tourist visas after a Type 'O' has expired?

We will be retiring here but need to return to Australia to organise finances, selling house etc.
