Flight Reservation Service

I will for the 3 month visa via the  evisa portal, with the aim of applying for an extension once there. Providing flight details is a requurement. I have read that you only need a one way ticket. I have also read some airlines require a return ticket. Another option is using a Flight Reservation Service. For small fee you get a real reservation. Once visa approved you book the real flight. Anyone got any advice here?

Answer summary

When applying for a 3-month visa to Thailand through the eVisa portal, providing flight details is necessary. Some consulates may only require a flight reservation rather than a confirmed return ticket, while others may request actual tickets. Using a flight reservation service can be a viable option, where you pay a small fee for a legitimate reservation, allowing you to book the actual flight once your visa is approved.

Some consulates want to see just flight details while others want to see actual tickets, if they do a cheap ticket out of Thailand (rather than a return) should suffice
