Tourist Visa application

[Chris 5]

Apologies if this post is duplicated (I had IT issues as I submitted!)

Can anyone advise if when applying for a 60 day tourist visa to enter Thailand, I have to send details showing a return flight - or if I can show just one way for entry?

I know I am going to extend by the 30 days allowed while there, but if the flight is pre booked for the visa I will have to pay to change it I think.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Depends on what embassy you apply. (You may need a ticket out of Thailand. Dont have to be return)

 

Either way: onwardticket.com is your friend ????

Many years ago I used to obtain tourist visas for Thailand at the Saigon consulate.

I was required to provide flight to Thailand. 

No onward flight required.

Being years old info wait for others to confirm this.

Thank You. These days from the UK you have to use E-visa and apply online - but you have to show the ticket in the application process.......so I have to know the requirements before I start.

I will have a look at the website you suggested though!

Sites such as onward flight, rent a flight etc is to obtain flight to obtain ticket for visa exempt departure. In that case the flight is for airline.

I don't believe onward flight required for tourist visa application.

Many embassies and official consulates are asking to a ticket out of the country for tourist visa applications now.

It is certainly required to apply on the e visa site.

I booked a return flight for 90 days. I came in on the 5 day test and go scheme fro the UK. I had a 60 day visa stamped in my passport when I arrived in Thailand on January 6th. I received a 30 day visa extension last week. That worked for me.

I believe the OP was asking if he could book the return flight for 90 days out when applying for a 60 day visa. I would also like to know. That's what I did in the pre-Covid days.

 

Thanks ubonjoe.
