Do I need to arrange an exit from Thailand within the first sixty days before applying for a multi-entry tourist e-visa?

To apply for a multi-entry tourist e-visa (METV) for Thailand, you are required to show proof of an exit from the country within the initial 60 days of arrival. This is necessary to demonstrate a planned departure in compliance with visa regulations. However, it's noted that some applicants have successfully obtained the METV without providing an exit flight at the time of application.
