Do I need an onward flight ticket to re-enter Thailand on a tourist basis after having a Non-Imm O visa?

Nov 8, 2025

Previously I had a Non-Imm O. I have been out of Thailand for a few months. I wish to return for 60-90 days this time. I own a condo in Bangkok. However, I am wondering how strict they are on having an ongoing flight or train ticket etc?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification on the requirements for re-entering Thailand for a stay of 60-90 days after being outside the country, previously holding a Non-Imm O visa and owning property in Bangkok. Community commenters noted that proof of onward travel is generally required unless holding a retirement visa, and owning a condo does not guarantee easier entry as a tourist.

Sadly, that you own a condo doesn't cut any ice with immigrations if you're trying to come in as a "tourist" on a 60 day free stamp (visa exempt) entry.

Also the proof of onward travel is most often an air carrier policy and they require you to show proof you're leaving in the number of days you get stamped in for if you're comin' here without a visa (visa exempt).

If you manage to board your flight without onward travel you are highly unlikely to be questioned by passport control when you stamp into thailand. You do not have a history of extensive visa exempt entries, (as you said you were previously on a Non-O visa/extension)
