Visa With One-way-ticket?

Featured Replies

Hi,

my girlfriend and I are planning to go backpacking across South-East-Azie and Australia.

We'll be starting our 1 year trip in Bangkok, Thailand. We will probably be staying in Thailand for about 3 months and then we travel on to Indonesia, Malaysia and/or Singapore.

Now our main concerns is; are we allowed to receive a Visa for Thailand, if we don't yet have a ticket proving we will leave Thailand?

To re-phrase the question: Do we need a planeticket proving when we will leave Thaliand to receive a Visa?

Hopefully someone can tell me, because I allready found out that this is going to be a problem when traveling to Indonesia.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Thijs & Natascha

You will be able to get a Visa to Thailand without an onward ticket. The Consulate in Amsterdam will be your best bet. A Tourist Visa will give you 60 days and can be extended for a further 30 days at Immigration.

If you want to enter Thailand and you have no return ticket or a ticket to a further destignation you need defenitely a visa for Thailand.

For 3 months a tourist visa should be alright (2 moths + 30 days extension).

For your further plan to travel the airlines are able to refuse transportation if you don't fullfill the (visa)requirements for the next country! For Malaysia and/or Singapure you should not have any problem. Indonesia: Honest, I dont know! For Australia you need an Electronic visa.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Take care,

You do not need an ownward or return ticket to visit Thailand if you have any kind of a visa. Only if without a visa would/could airline question you. One-way travel is specifically allowed in IATA directive to airlines for visa travel to Thailand.
