ORIGINAL POSTERI am staying in Thailand for 2 weeks on a tourist visa. Flying to Bali for 1 week. Then returning to Bangkok for 1 night before flying home.......Will I have any re-entry visa issues?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is concerned about potential re-entry visa issues when returning to Thailand after a trip to Bali, being on a tourist visa. Responses suggest that while it is unlikely to face problems, it's advisable to have proof of onward travel, accommodation bookings, and sufficient cash available to smooth entry. Many commenters also clarify the current status of Thailand's visa regulations, noting that tourist visas can vary in duration and conditions, hinting at possible changes in the entry policies.

Most people get a 45 day visa now unless it has changed.

A trifle pedantic, but... Nobody has ever gotten a "45 day visa" they don't exist.
The 45 day "free visa exempt entry" stamping in is slated to cease on April 1, 2023. Unless it doesn't, and they decide to continue this policy.

@Phil *******
correct thank you for clarifying the 45-day entryAlbert ********
@Phil *******
so I was correct it was 45 in December it has changed this month. So people were getting the 45 not to long ago.Pui *****
@Albert *******
the point is that the 45 day stamp is for Visa exempt entries and is not a visa. If you were simply stamped in without purchasing a visa, then you do not have a visa, and you entered via visa exempt status. If you truly had a 90 day visa, by definition, you would be stamped in for 90 days. If you were stamped in for 45 days with such a visa, then the immigration officer did not notice the visa you bought, and assumed you were coming in by visa exempt and stamped you in incorrectly for a visa exempt entry rather than using the 90 day visa you paid for.Reply to

Best to have the 3 proofs in any case, even with a TR visa...
hotel booking for a few days & onward travel reservation within your allowed days, & 20,000 thb or equivalent in $ £ € in CASH is needed.
Lack of funds is the most common reason cited for denying entry.
YMMV
