Hey Guys,Ive got a couple of questions that i cant find the answers to anywhere else. Right well here goes,

I plan on leaving my home in Ireland and staying in thailand maybe for 9-10 weeks and then moving on to Australia for a year, Im aware that if i get a single entry tourist visa it will last 60 days with the option of a further 30 days, but is it ok for me to arrive in thailand with a 1 way ticket?, and then booking my oz ticket in Thailand maybe on my 8-9th week over there. You see my concern with this is that my visa would be due to run out after 8 weeks, while the oz flight i would like to book would be for the 9th week over there. So would it be a problem when i arrive at the Bangkok airport with a visa for 8 weeks and a flight onwards out of the country after 9 weeks, even though ive every intention of doing a border run once the visa is close to expiry

If you have a Thai tourist visa in your passport, you will have no problems with boarding a flight, and no worries about your ticket to OZ being 9 weeks away.

And you can indeed extend your intial 60 days, for a further 30 days at the nearest immigration office inside Thailand for 1900 baht. Or indeed do a visa run, if you are close to a border, it might be cheaper to do that.

Next time, you might want to post this in the Thai visa forum instead of other countries

Moved to the Thai visas and residency sub-forum.

Scouse.

No problem for ticket question. If you have a visa an onward ticket is not required.

60 days plus 30 day extension and border run sounds like a good plan.

When I checked recently it was a lot cheaper (almost 100GBP) to buy a 'Bangkok to Melbourne,Australia' ticket from a UK travel agent than it was from either a local Thai or Australian travel agent/airline. You might want to check with Irish travel agents first.

Thanks for the info guys, really helpful
