Hi All

Question for the experienced users.

I spent jan-sept 2024 in Thailand on an ed visa. I wish to return in December on a VOA; will this cause an issue with immigration?

Many thanks in advance.

No problem.

It's not VOA it's visa exempt entry .

 Be aware airline at departure may require an onward flight

without knowing OP's passport country - it could be Visa on Arrival still?

I looked at OP post history.

From another thread....

"Ill be back in the UK shortly, and whilst there i would like to renew my British passport....."

= Visa exempt entry 

About time the airlines got uniform on this onward flight issue. Some require it others don't, and trying to get information on the issue is a nightmare as per usual no one answers the phone. And if by a miracle someone does talk to you, they haven't got a clue what you're talking about 😞

The fall back plan if flying visa exempt without onward flight is to step away from check in and either buy a "rent" ticket from mob like "onwardticket.com" or cheapest throw away real ticket..

Sometimes the airline will allow you to sign a waiver
