Is an email confirmation sufficient proof of onward travel for entry into Thailand?
Asking for a friend. Is a simple email confirmation that you can show on your smart phone sufficient for proof of onward travel ?
Answer summary
The question addresses whether a simple email confirmation, viewable on a smartphone, is adequate proof of onward travel when entering Thailand. Further clarification is sought regarding whether this proof is needed for a visa application at a Thai consulate, during airline check-in for the flight to Thailand, or upon arrival at immigration in Thailand.

, unless they have an extensive history of living here on back-2-back tourist visas or visa exempt entries they won't be asked for proof of onward travel when they stamp IN to thailand at passport control OR when they get a 30 day extensionRichard *********
