Is it necessary to book a flight for the second visa exemption before arriving in Thailand?

Visa Exemption Thailand Visa Rules Travel Planning Entry Requirements Flight Booking

ORIGINAL POSTER

One other question, so thanks to the group we now know that we will come into Thailand on a visa exemption, get our 30 day extension then fly out and back in for another 45 day exemption, the question is: do we need to have the flight for the 2nd exemption booked before we initially arrive? Tia

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry is about whether a flight out of Thailand must be booked prior to arriving for an initial visa exemption and if the same rule applies for a subsequent entry under a second visa exemption. Responses suggest that airlines may require proof of onward travel for both entries.

For your initial entry your airline may ask for a flight out within the initial number of days you’d be allowed. At that stage they’re not going to care that you may re-enter Thailand.

For your second entry you may find the same. A ticket out may be required.
