Can I use a flight out within 90 days for a single entry tourist visa application and still extend my stay in Thailand?
Hi folks with regards to the single entry tourist visa (evisa) when you apply for it can you show a flight out within 90 days if you explain that you will be applying for a 30day extension in country
Answer summary
The discussion centers on whether applicants for a single entry tourist visa (eVisa) in Thailand can provide proof of onward travel within 90 days if they intend to apply for a 30-day extension while in Thailand. Comments clarify that generally, proof of onward travel within 60 days is required for the tourist visa, although some individuals have cited successful acceptance with longer return tickets. Alternatives like the Non-O visa, which does not require onward travel proof for eligible applicants over 50, are also mentioned.

Just buy a bus or train ticket from Nong Khai to Vientiane Laos online for $5 and you have proof of leaving within 60 days. Cheap insurance in case airline or immigration looks for exit plan.

Just apply for DTV in your country come and go as you like for 5 years 10,000 bht fee. No onward ticket required. It's not that hard if you do your research visa on arrival is outdated for long stays why border bounce. Get up with the times

No problem with 90 day return if applying from UK. Just need to check that the airline are OK with it. EVA and Singapore are both happy with that.

It’s your choice, but if you’re passed 50 years and have income min £ 1500, you could just apply for a 90 days Non O visa. Then you’re excused from any onward ticket requirement, it’s cheaper in total than to apply for a tourist visa and do an extension and you don’t have to use (waste) time at the immigration in Thailand.Robert **********

As I said, be happy they keep letting you in, because there will come a time when they will tell you to get the correct visa for your 6 month stay.Tom *******
OP@Lloyd *******
how am I complaining about financials , and that post is from 2023 when we were planning it , but decided on 6 months as family , grandkids etc were a tie , so only spent ***
months in Thailand , and today’s post was about evisa , no mention of finances and certainly not complaining about anythingLloyd ********
No, the visa is for 60 days, and the application will want to see onward travel within those 60 days.

OP@Lloyd *******
ok thanks for that , I did suspect that would be case , earlier in the year when we came in on the 60 waiver the io did ask for onward travel and showed them our flight home in 85 days (explained 30 day extension) and they were fine with that , so wondered if evisa was the sameActivity
