Hello I have some questions regarding the 30 days extension of a 60 days tourist visa (stay in Bangkok) :

- do I need a return flight within the 60 days or is it ok if my return flight is within the 90 days ? 

- do I need a TM 30 at Bangkok immigration for the extension ?

Thanks

- do I need a return flight within the 60 days or is it ok if my return flight is within the 90 days ?

-> You don't need a return ticket to apply for 30 days tourism extension.

- do I need a TM 30 at Bangkok immigration for the extension ?

-> In most cases yes, you are asked for a TM30 receipt.

If you enter Thailand on a pre-purchased Tourist Visa, you will go to the Chaengwattana Immigration office, Government Complex Building B.

You will go here.

thank you very much for your quick reply ! Regarding the departure flight, the airline will not ask me for a return ticket within 59 days either, right ?

You need to show the return ticket within 60 days when you apply for the visa. If you already have the visa then you don't need it.

, that depends on the embassy. Some accept 90 days for Single Entry Tourist Visa (60 days and 30 days extension). You need to check with the embassy/consulate you apply for your visa at.
