I'm extending my tourist visa next week, do I need to show a ticket for my onward journey? I'm not sure where I'm going yet. Thanks for any info 👍

Answer summary

When extending a tourist visa in Thailand, especially for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office, it is generally not necessary to show proof of an onward ticket. Multiple commenters confirm that no outbound ticket is required for this type of visa extension.

On this note, do we have confirmation yet whether the extension is also for 45 days or stating as the standard 30 days?

No need to show PROOF of your ticket departing Thailand when you apply for the 30 days extension of stay at your local Thai immigration office.

Usually, the outbound ticket is not required for 30 days tourism extension.

thanks for this, if I go now for example will the 30 days be added on to my existing days or will they take it as 30 days from now? It short shall I wait a few days before the visa runs out to go? Hope this makes sense and thanks for the reply and information 👍

, tourism extension is added to your current stamp, which means "top-up", so no downside to applying earlier. If your stamp is remaining less than 30 days, you can go to apply for this extension anytime now.
