'Onward Ticket' ?

[Phil TK]

I'm leaving the UK for Thailand in mid march and then on to Indonesia and back to Thailand after 1 month in Bali -then staying away for about 1 year in Thailand. I'm getting a 3 month re-entry visa for Thailand but the question is what sort of airline ticket do I get? I think the Thai immigration need to see a return ticket back to where I came from each time -the travel agents I've spoken to are not sure on this. Would I get away with a single ticket to Bangkok? -telling them that I'm travelling overland to another country at the end of my 3 month visa period? (visa run)

Help much appreciated

Hi Phil,

Thai Immigration won't be the problem, but the airline. You have to check with the airline wether they will accept you on board with a one-way ticket yes or no.

I have lived and worked in Asia for 15 years. I fly out of Canada, and I need a return ticket. They are not allowed to let you fly into certain countries without a return ticket. If they do, it was a 25,000.00 find for each passenger that didn't have a ticket out. The ticket out can be to any country. I fly into Singapore a lot and but a ticket out to Bankgkok. I then cash it in, in Singapore. but you loose a bit of money on it.
