I got a STV and I wanna move my flight to be early (28 Feb) than my ticket (11 Mar and return 9 June: this covers 90 days) . Do I need to move the return flight ticket to cover 90 days? But I am planning to get the extend visa. Will immigration ask me to show the return flight? Thank you for your help!
Answer summary
The user inquired about moving their flight date earlier while holding a Short Term Visa (STV) in Thailand, specifically if they need to adjust their return flight to comply with the 90-day stay requirement. Comments indicate that while immigration may ask for a return ticket, it seems not strictly enforced for STV holders, especially since the visa allows for extensions up to 270 days. It is suggested that purchasing a low-cost onward ticket could be a workaround if necessary.

they shouldn't ask for return flight. since you are allowed to stay for 270 days (with extensions) I came on a TR visa and they didn't ask for my return flight. if they do want an exit ticket you could book on onward ticket for like $10.00. You'll need to update your COE and accommodation booking after quarantine (and ASQ) for the new arrival date and flights.

I dont think you need to show a return ticket for an STV as it can be extended up to 270 days

I can't tell you if immigration will ask to see your exit flight ... but they MIGHT. If you're worried, maybe buy a dirt cheap flight to a neighbouring country and either lose it, or get a refund/voucher after you're in ASQ.
