Hikage Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agsnowdon Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 I have a ticket with Thai Airways, what you think?? Thanks for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikage Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agsnowdon Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Pra Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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 Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 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?

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ash <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

Sockabrock Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) 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.

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.

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.
