Do I need to provide an actual flight ticket when applying for a Thailand visa at the London embassy, especially if my return is within 60 days?

There are mixed experiences regarding whether the London embassy requires an actual e-ticket when applying for a Thailand visa. Some applicants report being asked for a flight number or e-ticket, while others were not asked for any flight details at all. Concerns arise particularly about having a return date within 60 days, with some applicants worried it might lead to being issued a METV instead. Generally, while intended arrival information is asked for, it seems not all applicants had to present a confirmed flight.
