I'm puzzled.

 

My wife and I have a Non-Immigrant "O" year multiple entry Visa, each 90 days based on 50+ retirement.

 

A single friend of mine from Holland (50+ also) claims a Visa agent can arrange the same for him at the Embassy in The Hague and says a return ticket is not necessary.

Showing a ONE-WAY ticket to Thailand next to a simple signed form, declaring he will buy a return ticket within Thailand is enough, so the agent says.

 

Is that possible ? 

 

 

You don't need a return ticket using an O Visa

A return or onward ticket is not required if you have any valid visa for entry to the country.

I am assuming that the OP is asking if a return ticket is needed by the Thai embassy in the Hague to apply for a non o visa?

If so, then there is no mention of this requirement in the documents required to apply.

There is no need for a return ticket if on a non imm visa of any type when arriving in to Thailand.

Thanks a lot Gents!

 

I'm curious why the Embassy asked for a written travel plan* after entering and leaving Thailand.

 

As a matter of fact I wrote such a plan myself already before applying but it was rejected and we were sent back home to do it again on a form to be downloaded from the website of the Embassy....:-( 

Totally absurd if you ask me.

Entry requirements from immigration can differ from requirements from embassies, and different embassies can have different requirements.

So they can evidence that you are visiting for tourism.

Yes it is.
