London embassy question: Seen a number of people say the London embassy required actual flight ticket from the airline, I have a flight booked but it's a return flight and the return date is within 60 days (something like 55). Has anyone applied with and uploaded such a ticket, just worried they'll give me an METV instead (seen that's happened) if they see I have a return within 60 days. Going soft power Muay Thai route.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The query revolves around whether applicants need to submit actual flight tickets for a visa application at the Thailand embassy in London, especially if their return flight is within 60 days. Responses from community members vary; some report that the embassy did not ask for a flight ticket, while others had to provide their e-ticket. It appears that the perceived necessity for a flight ticket may depend on individual circumstances, such as the specific duration of stay and intended travel dates.

They asked me for the actual e ticket . Soon as they asked I booked the ticket and uploaded it

Read again Doesn't they ask for a INTENDED Arrival?

And you can easily provide a flightnumber, since flightnumbers only describe the route ( like busnumbers ) not the actual date and time.

From the UK, I didn't show anything related to flights at all, and it wasn't on the list of requirements

It is totally irrelevant how long you intend to stay, or how many times you enter and exit. The application simply asks for proposed or intended dates and flight as well as length of stay, nothing you enter is binding.

They didn't ask for me, i think they only ask if you enter a flight number thats due to leave sooner. Just set your say duration to the maximum allowed and if they ask for the ticket, just show them the outgoing flight.
