Entry Question

[fillip1215]

I just bought my tickets to thailand and my trip is a total of 62 days. I plan on leaving the country at least once and reentering. What I'm wondering is if I'm going to need to show some sort of onward ticket to get into the country. If so is there somewhere I can buy train tickets online? Thanks

You will have no problem at immigration

BUT

Unless you have confirmed AIR travel out within 30 days your airline may not let you board unless you have a tourist visa

I believe that the IATA information now only RECOMMENDS an onward ticket but some airlines / check in staff are still using the old rules which REQUIRED onward travel.

I just checked in with China Airlines at Schipol, they looked for my visa (return half of a ticket), so I suspect they would also be looking for onward travel if I didn't have one.

Check with your airline, and get it in writing to show stroppy scheck-in staff

Where are you going?

You can buy train tickets to Malaysia on line at

or you can email your request to [email protected]

With so many cheap airlines maybe better to get an eticket on one of those if you dont want to chance it (you only need a ticket out not return)
