Hi! I want to go to Thailand for 3 months to visit my girlfriend. I’ve visited the country 3 times in the last 2 years but not for that long. What recommendations do you have regarding visa and flights?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The main inquiry is about obtaining a visa for a 3-month stay in Thailand to visit a girlfriend. Responses indicate that for those with a Mexican passport, a 60-day visa exemption is available upon arrival, as long as proof of an onward flight is shown. There are suggestions for either purchasing a return flight or a refundable one to extend the stay in Thailand. There is also a discussion about how passport nationality affects visa options, along with general travel advice and humorous comments regarding relationships.

If you have a Mexican (or Canadian) passport you’re entitled to a 60 days visa exemption and free stamp upon arrival. Your previous travel history seems quite clean, and nothing indicates that you’re not still just a genuine tourist.

Be aware of that’s it’s a formal requirement for visa exemption entries to show proof of an onward ticket within 60 days regardless if you plan to apply for a 30 days extension.

yes I have Mexican passport. I usually apply for tourist visa online and pay the fee (I assume this process is not visa exception, right?) I’ve noticed in this visa they give 60 days

My actual question is: if I want to stay up to 90 days should I get my return flight for the 90th day(or before) or get a refundable flight for the 60th day then apply to the 30 day extension?

And finally, is it necessary to get the outbound flight to apply for the online 60 day visa? Or just the inbound?

Thanks again for your help!!

that answer was the BOOK ANSWER. But not necessarily the truth. I flew in yesterday on a one-way flat out no onward travel at all. I do it all the time. 25 seconds in front of immigration officer, stamp/stamp have a nice day. That makes leaving when you decide to leave lots easier.
