Andreas84 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have heard stories that people who try to enter Thailand without a return ticket, are sent back to their country when arriving in Thailand. Even a travel company suggested that I buy a cheap ticket from Thailand to Malaysia, which I can show upon my entry to Thailand as a return ticket. But at the Thai embassy in Norway, they say that I do not need a return ticket upon arrival, as long as I have a visa for Thailand in my passport, from the embassy. They said people are only sent back if they request a visa upon arrival (15 or 30 days), and have no return ticket... Any input on this? Is it safe for me to enter with a touristvisa in my passport and a singleway ticket, or is it better I buy a cheap return ticket, just to be certain there will be no problems?

britmaveric Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 If you have a visa, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stjohnm Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The Embassy gave you good advice, allot of airlines won't take you without either a ticket out of the country within 30 days or at least a 60day tourist visa in your passport from the embassy. If you are coming for a holiday though a return ticket is far cheaper than two one way tickets anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbangkok Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 They won't ask you on arrival in BKK but it is the airline that will stop you from boarding a plane to BKK unless you have a return ticket or a visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spee Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I entered in Feb 2009 with a one way ticket and had no problems. Then again, I was leaving Saudi Arabia with a visa expiring that same day so they weren't taking any steps to hold me up. Also a US citizen eligible for 30 day tourist visa on entry. YMMV.

Juzrelax Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I entered with a 6 month Non Immigrent B visa and no onward ticket, all good. At the time of departure the airline was not too keen on it but once I explained my visa & situation they were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd64 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I came here 5 Dec without a visa or a round trip ticket and had no problems. JC has it correct, the airlines are the problem sometimes, being the return trip ticket means more money ( my point of view). I also like the fact that being married to a Thai I can use the Thai passport desk, getting through customs is so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas84 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 It should be mentioned, that upon entry to Thailand, one is requested to fill out a form, including the flight number for the return flight (or perhaps onwards flight?). A passenger told me that if the arriving flight is in example f133, the return flight will simply be one number higher; f134. That is what I did when filling out the form, and there were no problems with this at the airport. I also want to post the answer I got from Air Berlin, about this topic: Apart from the tourist visa, normally a confirmed onward-passage or return ticket is also required for entry. If you have booked only a one way flight to Bangkok, it can be happen that our colleagues request you to book also a return flight. You can also find further information on our homepage.
