Buying a one way ticket into LoS

[Seagull Sam]

I will be travelling soon with a 90 day Non-O visa and hoping to transfer to multi entry year long visa at Immigration Office. 

Can I travel on a single ticket as I don't have firm plans about precise return date? Will it raise eyebrows as I enter please? (I normally travel business class if that makes any difference).

On both my gf's visits to UK she was  held up for questioning for just this reason. Is this likely to happen to an old farang travelling in the opposite direction?

Thanks in advance for any useful information.

With a visa (single entry Non O) you will not be asked for return/onward flight by airline at departure or immigration upon entry to Thailand. 

Assume it's eVisa. Make sure you print out hard copy.

Show that to airline staff at check in and immigration upon arrival at passport control. 

 

BTW: You will enter on the Non O and be given a 90 day permission of stay stamp.

 

In the last 30 days of that stamp you will obtain a 12 month extension. It's NOT a Visa.

 

In order to exit and reenter Thailand you will purchase a reentry permit.

Available as Single reentry 1000b 

OR Multiple reentry 3800b

 

The reentry permit can be obtained at local immigration office or airport on departure. 

 

Aside: do you have a Thai bank account in your name only?

Just to add that on the day you apply for the extension you will need to have had ฿800k in your account for 2 months.

OP, no offense however this has all been covered in your previous thread here:

Apart from answering questions regarding onward flight.... the process of obtaining the 12 month extension and financial requirements was outlined.
