wallaceinthailand Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hi, I haven't been to the LOS for a while, but I was talking to someone in a pub, who was going to Thailand on a single ticket, ( he had an O visa ), he said it wasn't necessary anymore to have a booked return flight, which I always thought was illegal under Thai law. I'm coming over later in the year myself, intending to get the same visa, but I asked at Hull and I ended up more confused than before I phoned them !! Can anyone simplify what the rules are ? I would prefer an open ended return ( to England), it's a lot cheaper to buy a single ticket than a long stay return one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thohts Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I almost never have an outgoing ticket. I just enter on 30-day stamps and be sure to leave before it expires. I've only had a problem coming from Australia. They seem to do everything by the book. Without a real visa, they aren't allowed to let you into Thailand without an out-going ticket. Now I keep an outgoing ticket on my person when I'm flying into BKK, just in case. Then I just continue changing the date of departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
