Crossy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Please do not post in all capitals, it is difficult to read and is considered as shouting. What kind of visa will you have in order to enter Thailand? Without one you are likely to be prevented from boarding your flight. Moving to the Visas forum.

Lite Beer Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Providing you have a visa you will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelaos Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Me and the Mrs had a problem at Heathrow recently because we didn't have an onward ticket when flying to Bangkok. We had to purchase a ticket from Bangkok to Mumbai with Jet which was later cancelled and reimbursed (-1200 Baht). The airline will not let you fly unless you have a visa to live or work in Thailand because they face a huge fine by Thai immigration. Even after explaining that we live and work in Laos and my car was in Bangkok airport, therefore I will be driving over the border the next day, they still refused.

Mario2008 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Even a tourist visa will be fine, just not a visa exempt entry (or a Visa on Arrival). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulasno Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I flew from HK to Bangkok and the airline wants to see an onward ticket from Bangkok to anywhere; I am simply produce an ATM card and was allow to board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I fly frequently between Singapore and Thailand and generally only have one way tickets when I return to Thailand. Don't have a visa and no one ever makes a fuss out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfSquat Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I don't think I've ever entered Thailand with an onward ticked booked in all my 2+ years of being here. Have flown in from London, HK, Sing, Aus, Bali, KL, Cambo, Vietnam... Is this a new requirement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooters Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Ring the Airline they are the ones who make a song and dance out of it. I have never been asked at BKK arrivals if I have an onward ticket in over 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryq Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 As already answered, if you have a valid visa NO onward ticket required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
