Do I need an onward ticket for the 60-day Thai tourist visa when applying from the Philippines if I plan to extend my stay?

This conversation discusses whether an Australian passport holder applying for a 60-day Thai tourist visa from the Philippines needs to provide an onward ticket for the 60th day, especially if they intend to extend their visa for an additional 30 days. The consensus indicates that while the airline might require proof of onward travel when boarding, the Thai consulate might not strictly enforce the same requirement. Several participants suggest alternatives, such as showing a bus ticket or making online bookings to demonstrate onward travel. Ultimately, it is advised to check with both the consulate and the airline for the specific requirements.
