Rules for departure by charter flights from Thailand: There is a difference between charter and scheduled flights. A regular flight is an air flight that takes place on a schedule, regular flights are approved for a specific time and date, a ticket for such a flight is available for purchase all year round for everyone. Charter - direct flights, sharpened for package tours to popular resorts in Thailand. Reservations for places are made by travel agencies, tickets can be ordered on special sites, but the actual time and day of departure will be known only before departure. Thailand's Migration Rules: Passengers arriving on a charter flight are required to depart on the same charter. The customs officer has lists of who has arrived and, accordingly, must fly back by charter. Those arriving by charter have a mark in their passport with the number of the return flight, so if you decide to fly on another charter (another airline), you may not be allowed out of the country, because this is a violation. What to do if I want to fly by charter: Before buying a ticket, write to the airline with this question. The airline can get permission to fly for you. Before buying a ticket, independently request permission from DCA to fly on a charter flight. The permit is issued by the DCA (Department of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) on the official website of the DCA. You need to do this before buying a ticket! The letter is written in free form in English stating that you need to fly by charter. The following documents must be attached to the letter: Passport, copy of passport: main page with photo, copy of passport: page with immigration stamp / visa, ticket to Thailand, flight number, date of departure, copy of the ticket. Response time: within a day. Opening hours: from 8:00-18:00 (on weekdays in Thailand). Cost: 50USD (US dollars). Is it possible not to apply for a permit? In theory, airport employees may not pay attention to the fact that you broke the rules, however, such cases are rare.
