TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on entering Thailand under a visa exemption, planning to return from Bali and then apply for a TDAC while intending to show a return flight to the UK for the third month. The comments highlight that onward travel for a visa exemption must usually be within 60 days, and while Thai Immigration may not always check documents, airlines often verify flight details and can potentially deny boarding without proper onward travel arrangements.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

You don’t apply to TDAC it’s an arrival card so in the same way many countries have these you are just required to fill in your information

Technically, no. Your onward journey has to be within your permitted period of stay, which is 60 days. However, they very rarely check. If you haven’t abused the visa exemption in the past then you should be ok.

However, the airline bringing you to Thailand may well check. They can refuse to let you board. Not all airlines check but most I’ve used do.

its the airline that might not let you board without onward travel within 60 days. Ask them

Ask your airline what their policy is

Nope. Onward travel for a visa exemption has to be within 60 days. Thai Immigration probably won't ask but your airline might.

The 30 days extention has to be applied for and although rarely refused it's not a given.
