Hello everyone, I do hope you are all well and having a good night. I like to ask something. I'm planning to visit Phuket on exempt visa with the 30 extension. They require a 30 days return ticket. Can I purchase a 60 days return ticket for that or there's a risk they will not let me board the plane or maybe I will also have problem with the immigration in Phuket? Is there another solution to this? Thank you very much in advance for your help. Have a peaceful night.

Suggestions include purchasing a cheaper onward ticket to satisfy airline requirements or applying for a different visa type, such as a TR visa for 60 days, to avoid issues.

It hasnt changed since you asked same question 3 weeks ago.

To be 100 % sure get an onward ticket for 30 days after arrival, or get a TR visa for 60 days.

It's very possible you will run into issues.

Easiest solution is to Google "onward ticket" and you can rent a ticket for about $10. Print it and bring it with you on your trip to Thailand.
