Hello im planning on staying 7 months in Thailand but with the new Visa rules i have no idea how i can make that happend?
I just got back from the Thai embassy here in Norway and they told me i need a return ticket to give me Tourist visa. Before i have never needed to show them a return ticket, as i usually just buy a ticket over to cambodia when my stamp expires... Please help..

You can buy a ticket on expedia.com and have it full refunded in 24 hours.

Or you can travel to Thailand visa exempt (see http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/754481-boarding-to-thailand-without-return-ticket/), then get a double entry visa in Laos.

They should also accept an onward ticket. There is no rule that says it has to be a return ticket.

they told me the same thing, I was back there on October 13, retrieved my passport this week on Monday, October 20th, they told me the same thing.

the lady said I did not book a ticket, a booking confirmation was enough.

I think this is the 2nd or 3rs report about Oslo wanting return tickets. Another place that makes their own rules and discourage tourism to Thailand.

Ok so if i book a ticket back to norway after 60 days stay in Thailand then just cancel it after i get my tourist visa... how will i then go on about making my stay for 7 months... is it still possible to go get another tourist visa in cambodia or laos after my first tourist visa is done, is it still possible to extend the tourist visa with 30 days after the first 60 days... ?

Answered in post #2 or you can read the visa trip reports pinned on top of this forum.

Did you apply for a double entry? 60+30 and 60+30? And yes you need a ticket out of Thailand, not necessarily a return ticket to Norge even a cheap bus ticket will do. As for the last month you can take a weekend in one of the neighbor countries by air, and when you return by air you will get a 30 day visa exemption stamp.

You can also try to use the consul Solveig http://www.thaikonsulat.no/

Get a double entry tourist visa , 180 days

Helsinki embassy issues only single entry visas and requires return ticket back to Finland. Onward ticket from Thailand to some other country than Finland will not do. It's been like this for a couple of years as far as I know (I've tried it and failed). Hopefully other Scandinavian embassies are not following Helsinki's lead.

Hei,

Had the same problem in Oslo last month.

Applied for double TR and they wanted two tickets out of Thailand.

As Namplik says call Solveig she is very helpful
