Looking to return to Thailand, in November. Last time got a 60 day tourist visa and extended my stay by 30 days. I am looking to stay again with my girl friend. The visa rules have now changed, I am looking to return using a 60 day tourist exemption and like last time getting the exemption by 30 days.

My queries are:

Do I need an invitation letter from my girlfriend re accommodation? Just book my flights and go and show IO invitation letter and return flight ticket along with proof of 20000Baht.

last time I booked flight for full 90 days, knowing I was extending my stay. Is this still okay???

Or will I have to apply for a 60day tourist visa + 30day extension

I look forward to your response

Thank you

Frank

Am I right in thinking that for 60 day visa you need an onward ticket of some sort? Family all under 50, UK passports

Hey y'all, just an update on my trip to Laos for visa exempt. It was not necessary to go with dollars because they accept thai baht at Wattay Airport in Vientiane (this detail is not specified in the website). Vientiane is a great city, I really liked it. A nice mix of east and west. In case anyone is interested, they have cool vegan restaurants there. I stayed in a very comfortable and affordable airbnb called Villa de Mekong. I bought the onward ticket but they didn't even ask for it at Don Mueang Airport. Anyway, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Thanks for all of your advice and suggestions! I'm going to get an extension on my visa exempt and stay until the end of April.

Stay cool everybody, it's hot out there.

I have applied for a o visa in the USA. I only have a incoming flight because I don’t know how long I will be able to stay since I don’t have my visa as of today. If I get my o visa I was hoping to extend my stay when I get to Thailand. Do I need to have a departure flight now or can I get one later? Do I need one before I fly to Thailand? If my intent is to stay longer do I still need a outgoing flight? If I am awarded a o visa for 90 days do I need to purchase a flight before arriving in Thailand departing before the 90 days are up? Thank you.

Just wanted to thank everyone for all their help in the information that was given. I applied on April 10th for a 60 day visa through the Los Angeles Thai embassy here in the United States. I fly out tonight and I just received it this morning so that's how long it took. One thing is I attached my airline ticket that showed I was leaving today and coming back in September. For my return ticket I just attached the same ticket and I was approved. See you guys on the streets of Thailand. Thank you.

Hi.Im flying to Bkk in two weeks on visa exemption for 45 days and will get 30 day extension. Then I will go to Laos or Cambodia and later return.Will there be any problems at BKK airport?

I am coming to Thailand next week on a 60 day tourist visa. I have a one way ticket as I intend to get a 1year Visa. Someone told me that I might get refused on flight as I haven't an onward ticket.but I intend to stay so lovely people do you think there is a problem .As I do not wish to buy an unwanted ticket.

I just got my Thailand Pass today with only a One-way ticket from Hanoi To Bangkok. My question is it required to show a returning ticket in order to get to Thailand, or would they stop me? And what if I purchase one near the time of departure so I can cancel it in 24 hours? Thanks

Need advice please, we are United States citizens.

Myself (49), my husband (51), and my mother (86) would like to eventually obtain the non immigration O retirement visa while in Thailand, which seems to be the easiest to do.

I won't turn 50 until June. I'm trying to find a way to move to Phuket earlier than July.

Can all 3 of us enter Thailand using a tourist visa, extend stay until I turn 50 IN THAILAND, then convert to the O retirement visa while in Thailand?

Also, if this is our plan, will having a one way plane ticket be an issue flying out of the US or flying into Thailand (using just a regular tourist visa)? I don't want to book three return tickets only to throw them away. We don't plan on coming back to the US for at least 1 year. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

My e,visa still has not come. Can I travel out from UK visa on entry , how long is this for and do I need to change my return flight to suit
