Hi 

I’m on my way to immigration to extent my tourist visa, do I need an onward flight ticket before extension date ends? I heard off one person they aren’t asking for it but not sure. If so I can just book one now quickly. Reason I don’t have one is I’m changing my return flexible ticket from bankok to my home county in September because I plan to go to Malaysia or somewhere near for a month then come back on 30 day stamp then return to home county.

Any help will be appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The necessity of an onward flight ticket for extending a tourist visa in Thailand varies by immigration office. Some locations, like Koh Phangan, require a ticket home for COVID-related extensions, while others may not ask for it during regular visa extensions. It's advisable to check the specific requirements of the immigration office you are visiting.

Depends on which extension and which immigration office. Koh Phangan requires a flight HOME to recieve covid extensions now. But not for regular extensions.

Bangkok doesn't require a ticket out from Thailand for tourism extension.
