First timer to thailand so would appreciate some advice here...

Applied to the Thai Consulate here in Ireland and got a triple entry tourist visa good for 60 days each stay. Am I correct in understanding I don't need to have an exit flight booked?

Am I correct in understanding I don't need to have an exit flight booked?

You are correct.

thank you!

Don`t forget that each entry can be extended in Thailand for up to 30 days.

Am I correct in understanding I don't need to have an exit flight booked?

You are correct.

Are you sure about the Oz requirement?

The OP has a VISA, outbound tickets are not normally asked for unless you have a particularly tiresome check-in agent, a word with their supervisor will sort.

There could be a Consulate requirement for evidence of a ticket out of Thailand. By rules it is required for a tourist visa issue - but most Consulates do not enforce it for home country nationals.

2. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

- Passport or travel document with validity not less than 6 months

- Visa application form completely filled out

- Recent( 4 x 6 cm.) photograph of the applicant

- Evidence of travel from Thailand (air ticket paid in full)

- Evidence of adequate finance (10,000 Baht per person and 20,000 Baht per family)

- Consular officers reserve the rights to request additional documents as deemed necessa

The airline has no business to deny someone boarding who has a valid Thai tourist visa in their passport. I did hear someone having problems in the US on a single occassion, but that's the exception. And this person did get on eventually.

Indeed consulates and embassies, list a ticket out as requirement, but hardly ever asked, especially back in Europe.

as most other here state, you probobly are going to be ok, but just looked back at some recent ones that got stopped for this and would say its all down to ignorance by staff, netherless this might cause delays for you, so if it isnt a hasslle for you it might be easier to book one Dr!

"I was another caught by EVA at the end of last year. I now live in Thailand, and bought a return ticket Bangkok-London-Bangkok. I have a valid year's Non O visa. At Heathrow, check-in insisted that I have a flight out of Thailand. When I pointed out that I live in Thailand, and didn't need to go out of the country, the woman then said that I did not have all of the necessary documents. When I asked which documents she meant, she replied a residency permit, or something like that! I had to buy a return ticket for 800 pounds. New rules just introduced in the last three months they said. Funnily enough, it was only at one of the check-in desks that these rules were being imposed. I travelled to England last year with EVA in exactly the same way, and had no problems at all. Thai immigration let me into the country without asking for an onward flight - I'd left this blank on my departure card, (just to see what would happen) nor did they ask to see an onward ticket. I went EVA office in Bangkok and asked for a refund on the tickets I was forced to buy. They agreed immediately, but charged me 100 pounds administration fee for each leg. When I asked if a re-entry permit or a residency permit would be acceptable extra documentation in the future, they could not assure me that they would be. They suggested that I buy a cheap flight to KL"

"Airlines have every right to refuse you boarding, as they are scared they'll be fined and be forced to fly you back"

i was told this also, but maybe its not strictley enforced!

I believe that later on in that thread he got his money back because the airline made a mistake.

One other thing to remember about your triple entry visa is that all three entries must be made before the enter before date on the visa.

I landed here November gone on a triple entry tourist and had no return flight. It isnt a problem. You will be fine.
