Hi all, Im a UK resident and im about to start application process for a 6 month MEV - I have the first 60 days planned before I leave and go to another country for 3 weeks but after that - apart from a flight into Bangkok Im unsure of where I want to go and have nothing booked. I will add a departing flight within the nxt 60 days as required. My Q is - do I keep it simple with just the first 60 days and departing flight detail or do I need to add the return into Thailand flight even though I dont know where I am going then? Im aware they like to see accommodation details etc - which I dont have….. 🤷‍♂️🇹🇭. Thanks for reading
Answer summary
The user from the UK is inquiring about the requirements for a 6-Month Multi-Entry Visa (METV) for Thailand. They are unsure if they need to include a return flight to Thailand, as they only have plans for the first 60 days and do not have a specific itinerary beyond that. Responses indicate that while it's typically sufficient to have a ticket showing the initial 60-day stay and an outbound flight, having a return flight may help demonstrate the purpose of the METV application.

I just got my METV and didn't add a return as instructed by the Thai Embassy in London.

Having your ticket in, plan for 60 days and ticket out is good, but you should also have a ticket back to Thailand to show the need for an METV, no need for further plans
