I am a US citizen and want to visit Thailand for 25 days and then travel to Vietnam.

Can I get a Visa on arrival???

Can I travel on a one way ticket??

Is there any insurance requirements??

Thanks

Answer summary

US citizens do not need a visa to enter Thailand for up to 30 days under the visa-exempt entry system. They can stay for 25 days and then travel to Vietnam without the need for a visa on arrival. Although it's advisable to have a departure ticket ready (like to Vietnam), the airline might require it, even though some travelers successfully enter without showing one. Unlike many other countries, Thailand does not require travel insurance, but it is highly recommended.

Arrived in Bangkok yesterday from HCMC. No one asked for onward ticket from airasia. Also, in BK, lady looked at vaccination certificate really quickly, like not looking at all and if you look a bit Thai, they tell you just to keep going lol

If you already know you'll be going to Vietnam after 25 days, have your travel ticket ready to show if asked.

US citizens don’t get visa on arrival. They get a visa exempt entry (no visa) for 30 days. Extendable once for a further 30 if need be.

A ticket out of Thailand will probably be required by your airline. Doesn’t need to be a return, just a ticket out. Some get away without one. Many don’t.

No insurance required, but highly recommended.
