When your on a METV, do you have to show an onward ticket every 60 days?
Answer summary
When traveling on a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) in Thailand, it is generally not required to show an onward ticket every 60 days. Although theoretically, proof of onward travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds (20,000 baht) may be requested upon entry, in practice, immigration officials rarely ask for these documents, particularly for first-time entries. Extensions of stay also do not typically require an onward ticket, but immigration authorities retain discretion to ask for further documentation.

Okay, you're highly unlikely to be asked for proof of onward travel stamping into the country on an METV or at the immigration office if you're getting a 30 day extension on a 60 day entry on an METV.

You mean when you land in Thailand? Theoretically you need 3 proofs (20k baht, accommodation and onward ticket). In practice it's rare that they ask, especially if this is your first METV. However, they can ask and if you don't have and of the 3 proofs they can deny you entry

Darnell Towers you mean on “extension”? You should be more clear.

No, extensions they do not ask for onward travel ticket - but having said that, if for any reasons they have concerns about a person working illegally or anything else etc they can ask and do what they want - and reject the extension by providing get out of Thailand 7 day stamp - but rare!

Not when you land in Thailand. Once your there, and your coming up on 60 days.

No you don't generally. That is if you already have one. In the application process you may have to show some tickets...
