Will I need to show an exit ticket when re-entering Thailand on a tourist visa?

Tourist Visa Visa Requirements Thailand Immigration Travel Insurance Proof of Onward Travel COVID Coverage Test-and-Go Hotels

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all,

bit of a specific question; I'm flying back into Bangkok from the US mid February. Although on a tourist visa I do have a registered address in Bangkok and my visa is valid until the fall of 2022.

I have health insurance from A+/AXA with covid coverage that far exceeds what is required by Thailand at the moment, and I renew it every year, but currently it's set to expire this July.

Will I be pressed for an exit ticket upon checking into my flight, or some sort of bank stub? If so does anyone know of a solution? I'd like to think it's kind of ridiculous to ask for an exit ticket so far out as I have a clean record with immigration and I'm re-entering after several years of residence, but..........it is Thailand, so.......

Thanks for all the help. I already have a couple Test-And-Go hotels scoped out, but if anyone has recommendations for those as well I'm all ears.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The traveler is returning to Thailand on a tourist visa and has questions about the necessity of showing an exit ticket or bank statement upon checking into their flight. There is some confusion regarding their visa type and validity as comments clarify requirements related to entry and onward travel documentation. It is mentioned that as they are entering with a valid visa, proof of onward travel may not be required, but travelers on a tourist visa generally need to present this documentation.

You say you have a visa expiring in the Fall of 2022... What visa is that ?

It cannot be a Tourist visa...as they are valid for 60 days on arrival. One time...with one 30 day extension.

You appear to be too young for retirement...which requires age 50+.

If entering as a "tourist" you will be required to show onward travel. I'd advise also to ensure your insurance covers you for asymptomatic conditions, as this is where most people are being caught out when testing positive on the day five test test. The quarantine can be quite expensive if paying out of your own pocket.

Lali Aleksandrovna. If tested positive but showing no symptoms, you will be required to quarantine, but many insurances will not cover this situation and may cost you tens of thousands of baht in out of pocket expenses.

As you are entering with a visa, you will not be asked for proof of onward travel.
