Do I need to provide a ticket for a 30-day exit when returning to Thailand from Laos to get a visa exemption?

@Axl *****

have proof you're going back to YOUR country in a month if you're comin' in on a free entry stamp. have proof of 20K baht or the equivalent in CASH, and have proof of where you're staying here

That's what they will ask for if they're going to deny you entry or give you a hard time.

You would have been way better off to bounce out and back by land with a service that takes you to the border and back, rather than flying in but good luck with it. Be prepared to be questioned about why you're still here 🙂

@Axl *****

, BOY that was a piss poor choice to pick flying out and back for a free entry stamp after you've already been here 90 days on a tourist visa/extension. 🙁

Who recommended you do that? Especially with either bangkok airport?

@Axl *****

if ONLY been in Thailand 90 days, you should be OK. BUT Ask your airline IF they will ask you to show PROOF of your flight departing Thailand within 30 days of your arrival into Thailand.
