How can I apply for a 60-day visa to Thailand from the UK and manage my flight bookings?

Question

Any help or advice greatly appreciated thank you 
 I’m applying for 60 day Visa from UK for end of December, wanting to extend for 30 days end of February, it’s asking for flights, I’m guessing I can just select a flight roughly when I want to go and put the flight number down, the same as accommodation from a site where I can cancel, as I don’t know the exact dates when I’m going,. If I select the date for flight return, can I actually just buy a single air ticket as I won’t know the date I’m returning or will they refuse me entry when I get to Thailand. ￼

The user is seeking advice on applying for a 60-day visa from the UK, with the intention to extend it by an additional 30 days later. They are uncertain about flight booking requirements, specifically whether they can submit flight numbers for unbooked flights or if they must provide a booked ticket. Community responses emphasize the necessity of submitting confirmed flights, suggesting that airlines typically require proof of outbound travel and that visa applications may demand e-tickets for booked flights. It is recommended to consider refundable or flexible tickets for this purpose.

I prefer flexible, or re-schedulable, airline tickets to refundable tickets.  Less expensive, although slightly more expensive than basic non-refundable tickets.

I just got my SETV in the US, submitted flights in and out 71 days apart. Have done this before - no issues even with airline.

Also when you arrive at Bangkok (BKK) airport, immigration will check all your paper work

When applying for a 60-day Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) for Thailand, you are required to provide proof of a booked, confirmed, and paid ticket for your arrival in Thailand, as well as a booked ticket for your departure. This can be a flight, train, or bus ticket; however, in practice, some embassies only accept a confirmed flight ticket. The airline may also ask to see this proof of onward travel when you check in for your flight to Thailand. If you intend to extend your visa, it is advisable to purchase a refundable flight ticket.

You need to show confirmation of a flight that has been booked. You cant pull the wool over their eyes by just giving a flight number

We were requested to send more documents re flights we had to send e-ticket for a return flight. Then the visa was approved

You need to send confirmation of flights ie your e ticket

Gary you can try and give them just flight numbers you haven't actually yet booked, but I know when i applied through london they actually asked for booked flight tickets to be uploaded before they would continue wuth my visa application. Also your airline will typically want to see an out bound ticket within the visa date so within the 60 days, you can ask your airline if they will accept a one way flight knowing you will be applying for an extension, if they say no then you could book a cheap onward ticket within the 60 days to say vietnam to show and then not use it and book your return flight later. I would get your application ASAP as this is the busy time of year and could take longer than normal
