FAQ
Do I need proof of onward travel for Thailand?
You may be asked for onward travel evidence by an airline or immigration officer, especially if entering as a tourist.
Overview
Visitors entering Thailand as tourists may sometimes be asked to show evidence that they intend to leave before their permitted stay ends. This can happen at airline check-in, boarding, transit, or on arrival. The exact checks depend on nationality, airline policy, entry route, recent travel history and the officer involved. Onward travel evidence may include a return ticket or onward flight, but requirements should be checked before travel. If your plan is flexible, make sure it still looks credible and matches the stay length you are requesting.
