Hello everyone,

I just applied for a 60 day tourist e-visa in Italy. Now I got the email, to provide further documents.

I need to show proof of a outbound flight ticket, which I dont have because I intend to extend my visa for another 30 days once it is expiring, further I also dont know yet if I will keep traveling or if I will go back home. What would my options be here?

Second thing, last year my girlfriend and me were rent a condo for 1 year. I had no problems last year when I applied for a visa, the contract of the condo was enough to get it. 

This year they want me to send them the ID card from the landlord, which I think , I will not get. What could I do here?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help, really appreciate it.

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on two issues regarding their tourist e-visa application for Thailand. First, they need to provide proof of an outbound flight ticket to secure their 60-day tourist e-visa but do not have plans for leaving Thailand yet as they intend to extend their visa. Second, they are required to submit their landlord's ID card for documentation, which they don't believe they can obtain. Community responses suggest options for providing an outbound ticket, such as booking refundable tickets or using onward ticket services.

Consider buying a refundable ticket out of Thailand. Smile, and avoid conflict with the officer.

Book a cheap ticket to anywhere close and dont use it, or fly onward.

Google "onward travel ticket" for options to provide a flight out of Thailand within 60 days.

You can book a hotel on a refundable website like Expedia for however long and send them the reservation then cancel once your visa is issued.

Thanks for the quick answer. Yes I heard already from the "fake/non fake" ticket, guess that will be my best option.

So I can still book a hotel even tho, I was uploading the contract of the condo and they were asking for the ID card of the landlord?

For how long should I book the hotel? The whole duration, 60 day visa, so also 60 days for the hotel?

last couple years I had no problems with 1 week hotel booked and 90 day return flight, this year they wanted full accommodation and said I could send them a signed letting saying I would take responsibility for extending my visa and any costs from overstay.

I booked a cancelable 3 month stay through Agoda and worked fine

I'd book the hotel to show from the time you arrive in Thailand until the time your flight out shows. That way they can't ask for anything else.
