Technically it's a no no though they rarely check on-going tickets at immigration. The main concern is the airline no allowing you passage because they are liable to take you back if you are refused entry at that port.

[agsnowdon]

I have a ticket with Thai Airways, what you think??

Thanks for your reply

[Hikage]

Dont know about Thai, though I have had issues doing this with Singapore. I know how u must feel... I like going one way in some instances, it's always nerve racking checking in.

[agsnowdon]

Tell me about it, the first time it happened I never even knew but the airline made me sign some sort of disclaimer. I have sent an email to Thai Air asking them the question.

Thanks for your help

One wonders why you would procure a "one way ticket" as normally they are much more expensive then a "return ticket". But be that as it may be - on arrival in LOS I have never seen the immigration officer ask to see the return air ticket for those who qualify for a tourist visa on arrival.

So best of luck any way!

[agsnowdon]

Thanks for your reply

I got my one way with Thai Air for £350.00 Direct, I thought that was pretty good

Spose what I should have asked was, any one had any experiences with Thia Air with one way tickets?

Thanks

Shall do I have sent a couple of emails to Thai Air asking the Q? I did it once ok with qatar air but had to sign a disclaimer, hopefully it will be the same with thai air.

I got my single Direct for £350.00 and my return will be so much cheaper in bangkok and plus I shant be returning for a really long time!

I flew on Thai Airways from Heathrow to Bangkok last year on a one-way ticket and without a visa, and had no problems either at check-in or Immigration. So hopefully you'll be ok!

Glad to hear that, Thanks

One has to wonder why getting a visa is not part of the equation for you.

Depends what the OP means by:

I shall Get myself another prepaid visa,

As you will have a visa, a one-way ticket is acceptable under 2. below.

On occasion, airline staff is fuzzy. If any problems point out that you got a visa or explain to a supervisor at check-in.

1.Visa not required for a touristic stay of max. 30 days if

holding confirmed return/onward ticket. Extension up to 10

days possible. Fee THB 500.- (1 photo required).

2. In all other cases:

passport (must be valid 6 months beyond visa application)

and visa required.

[dr_Pat_Pong]

Visa extension fees are now 1900 baht

Correct, Dr. Sorry, copied this from airline rules, without correcting.

Over the years here Axel I haven't seen too many mistakes in your posts here. You are thus forgiven.

Arrived just 45 days ago (30 day tourist visa on arrival) on Thai Air with a one-way ticket and had no problem whatsoever.

As a matter of fact this is my fourth Intl. flight into BKK and they haven't looked at my ticket once yet.

Hi Sockabrock,

So when When you checked in, presuming it was London Heathrow did the Thai Air staff ask why you never had a return tickect?

Thanks Ash

Hi Dr Pat Pong and Axel,

I'm going to get my self a prepaid tourist visa the one where you enter with them stamping you in for 60 days and then depend on how many amounts of £25 you pay ontop depends on how many time when you do you visa stamp they will stamp you in for another 60 days, so in thereoy if I add anoth £50 i should be able to get stamped in twice for for a total of 120 days after my inital 60day

So in the all being so whats your opions on the Thai Air staff questioning me why I only have a one way tickect, I should be abl to say I have a visa already?

Look forward to your replies Ash

That’s perfectly all right, of course, as long as you won’t cry foul if you get nicked, as others have done in this forum, and as long as you know the risk you are taking, i.e. the maximum penalty for overstaying.

Hi

I have just recieved this email from Thai Air reservations

Thank you for your email.

As long as you have a valid visa for the entire length of your stay Thai Airways do not require you to complete any further actions with us. However, the airport may ask you to sign a disclaimer as you experienced before.

Kind regards,

Joanna, Thai Reservations
