Hello,

 

First I'll like to excuse I guess question have been already asked but I'm currently traveling and my Internet connexion is not good.

 

I plan to arrived in Thailand around 10 august, I'll arrived by plane and I would like to know if it's possible to get the 30 days stay allowed without any leaving flight ticket ? Well I will get out Thailand before 30 days but Actually I don't know  where I will go.

 

Regards,

 

Nicolas

You could be refused boarding by the Airline taking you to Thailand.

 

So the best idea is to buy (before you come to Thailand) a refundable ticket out of Thailand (to any neighboring country)

Ok

Good idea !

Thank you :)

Rubbish. 

 

Depends on the airline. 

 

And even if they are interested in you having a ticket out tell them you're travelling overland vis bus etc... 

Yes, I know that doesn't comply with Thai law but all the airlines care about it making sure they're not stuck with you being turned away and having to fly you back. 

On the Thai side they NEVER ask.

Not rubbish. You can tell them what you want and they can not board you as they want. Since this has happened to people, it's better be prepared to avoid discussions and trouble.

@lordBA (does that include Baldrick ?? )

 

Oke, so what if the OP doesn't have a (outbound of Thailand) plane ticket when he boards the plane that will take him to Thailand and he gets refused to board and he is stuck on a airport ?

 

That's why I said, he COULD be refused, and to save him that trouble, that's why the advice to buy a Refundable ticket, as this will not cost the OP a whole lot of money.

Yes exactly, I prefer buy a refundable ticket in case of, it's also because I'm In Russia and my Visa will be finish 1 day after I'm coming in Thailand so that could make a lot of trouble

It does not depend on the airline. No airline has a policy about this being implemented world-wide on a consistent basis. What it really depends on is the training and instructions the check-in staff is given at a particular airport and the extent to which the the person doing your check-in is following these instructions.

complete and utter nonsence.

Just buy a ticket to Kuala Lumpur. Print it out , have it at hand, if the immigration wants to see it. I have done this several times, immigration, though, never asked for a ticket out. But in princip they can deny you access into the country if you do not have proof of a ticket out of the country.

 

A one way ticket to Kuala Lumpur can be had for around 1000 baht by AirAsia. Very cheap, no stress then :)

 

Good luck.

Qatar wouldn't let me board at Manchester until I showed him proof.

Before boarding, your airline may ask you to sign a waiver which says the airline is not responsible if you are denied entry into your destination country.  With this, they'll allow you to board and Thailand immigration will likely just stamp you (30 day exemption) leaving it up to you to get the proper visas before your 30 days are up.

 

 

 

 

If you like safe, buy a ticket out of the country before u come in. Anyone telling u otherwise tells u rubbish, ah yes i have seen that word before

That depends on the airline. Some will not allow you to sign a waiver and simply refuse you boarding.

 

And don't forget that airlines overbook planes as there are always a number of passengers not showing up, cancelling at last minute etc. When there are more passengers than seats they have to deny people boarding. The persons who are denied boarding first are those without the required paperwork as they don't have to pay them any compensation for denying them boarding.

Just dodge out of the queue if you have to, book or buy a ticket to KL in the airport, and come back puffing and panting 30 minutes later. I think it is very unlikely that you will be refused permission to board.

Twice I have had to buy on-ward tickets to board the plane to Thailand.

Real pain in the butt especcially if your at the end of a long journey..

Malaysia airlines made me buy one would not let me board plane in KL..

They let me board plane from Manilla to Thailand with out saying anything.

They not give me boarding pass from KL to Phuket so I knew something was amiss.

Put me on a list of no onward ticket with out telling me.

Sneeky buggers then to top it off they charged me a re-fund fee when I re-funded the ticket in Phuket.

Never will use Malaysia airline again.

Now when I travel I always get an on-ward ticket added to my itinerary...just on paper bogus ticket works everytime.

all this and Thailand immigration has never asked for an on ward ticket..EVER

I have traveled to Thailand at least 5 times per year, since the 20th century. Immigration has never asked me a single question, not once. One or two times only the JL staff who handle TG flights at Nagoya have asked to see "return ticket".

I just did a rough calculation, i must have entered LOS at least 75 times in 17 years mostly on a visa exempt, sometimes on a tourist visa if I wanted to stay longer. Not even once have I been asked a question, never! Not by immigration and not by an airline, I have always felt welcome here and so will I for the foreseeable future. But of course i am considered a role model, i look good, i dress perfectly and I have loads of money.
Let's go!

Thus you fly in more than 4x year, good on you.

If that is with a return ticket no questions will be asked.

That is not the OP's issue, apparently flying in with a one way ticket and no visa, that's asking for trouble at check in.

Maybe read some good replies earlier on first?

 

Thanks for the advice tartempion, what would I do without it

Hi,Yes it's my Russian via who finish one day after my coming in Thailand.

And Yes I have found good answer, will take a refundable ticket to be sure even if they never ask you in for it In Thailand...

Thank you all !

 

 

Since 1998 never asked but 2 years ago boarding flight from Palawan Island to Bangkok was questioned about no ongoing flight I did explain that I had an extension of stay good until this date which I showed the ticket agent. She still had a problem with the extension of stay and I finally requested a supervisor and explained to her and she was satisfied with my explanation. This was Cebu Pacific and 4 months earlier there was not a problem at the same airport. I would just say donot get to smug about the fact you have never been questioned because on your next flight you maybe.

In July when I came back from the states the agent at Lax gave my passport a good looking over not just the usual glance this was EVA Airlines who I have been flying on forever.

What airline has a fully refundable preferably fee free ticket, purchasable online from outside of Thailand?

I checked quickly on Thai website as well as Bangkok airways, but did not find any.

Air asia tickets, even when they are said to be free or 100 baht approach a thousand baht, after paying fuel surcharges and various unavoidable fees. Many times of the year, especially if not purchased far in advance, tickets are not free or a couple of hundred baht, but substantially more expensive.
