Me too, waiting 12 days, still have 7.
I been saying in these groups this was gonna be the real issue for some, consulates suddenly overwhelmed with visa requests all over the world.
My plan is to use my exemption and buy an onward flight if I need to.
Remember no land border runs and flying out and coming back after 60 days is gonna be a real bitch man. My trip is 90 days.

same situation, fly tomorrow. I gather from other posts it's safer to rent an onward ticket within the 30 days if going visa exempt instead of 60 day tourist visa

You may have issues with airlines with the flights, they appear by all accounts to be getting stricter.
You can get an onward ticket not sure how this works, there is a topic #onwardflights

I have had a read of this so if I buy a flight from Thailand to say Cambodia and a return flight the next day will this be sufficient do you think. 🤔 John *********
OPI will , saying that if it comes through after I leave UK does it still count or is it still the 30 day ?
John *********

OP@Michael *******
thankyou for your helpMichael ********
@John ********
no airline only want to see an onward ticket, so they are not liable to return you to your home country if immigration refuse you.I have had three times airline wouldnt let me board without an onward ticket, never had an issue with immigration about this.
Though in covid times i have only entered on long term visa, last year was only option
