Just been checked in with Emirates at Manchester UK, I have a 60 day SETV and my return trip is for 89 days.

No questions asked for visa, or ticket to exit Thailand on 60 days.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the experiences of travelers checking in for flights to Thailand on a 60-day Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV). One traveler mentions checking in with Emirates at Manchester without being asked for a return ticket, despite having a longer return trip planned. Several commenters share their experiences, noting variability in how different airlines handle check-ins and visa requirements, indicating that policies may differ across airlines.

Depends totally on the airline. I flew Turkish from Dublin. Checked in online no questions asked at bag drop

Emirates at Heathrow have no check in staff. All done on machines. Slightly unnerving in case I did not do it right!!

with Emirates ? It tends to ne airline dependant if they ask for a flight out of thailand. Have a cheap flight out lined up ready so you can book at check in if required

Dependent on country of departure. Far more likely to be requested in US than in UK.

I telephoned the Emirates prior to my flight, and explained I had a 60 day SETV and 89 day return ticket.

They told me there would be no problem,
