ORIGINAL POSTER
May I ask a specific question about the 60-day, tourist, e-visa, proof of onward travel when planning a 30-day extension? What kind of onward-travel proof will be required, assuming it must be within 60 days and I know I will not use it? Should I get a fully refundable airfare and cancel after the visa is issued? Can I buy an inexpensive bus ticket and forfeit it? I searched for this topic but did not find a post directly on point. Thanks to all the contributors here who share their knowledge.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a 60-day tourist e-visa in Thailand that you plan to extend for another 30 days, it's essential to provide proof of onward travel. This can vary by embassy, with some requiring valid tickets confirming travel out of the country within 90 days. Potential options for proof could include a fully refundable airfare that you cancel later or an inexpensive bus ticket you don't intend to use. However, it's crucial to check the specific requirements of the Thai embassy or consulate you are applying to, as each has different stipulations regarding proof of travel.

Please check the detailed requirements on the website of the exact Thai embassy/ consulate you are applying for your visa at.

This type of question has been asked again and again. Usually, we don't approve, asking to check the embassy requirements first.

Yes, this is what you need to check with the exact Thai embassy or consulate where you are going to apply for your tourist visa.

Because each embassy specifies differently.

For example, these are requirements on "proof of in/out travel" copied from different embassy/country sites. Vary widely. Even on the same eVisa web application system. This is the reason why we say "READ the onward travel requirements on their website for the tourist visa".

Embassy A:

A confirmation of transport tickets to enter and depart from Thailand.

Embassy B:

Reservation of a plane ticket from the country or territories as well as an exit ticket from Thailand whose date must not exceed 90 days from the date of arrival in Thailand, with all flight details, including PNR data (Passenger Name Record – 6-element alphanumeric code): information linked to the reservation and contained in the files created by the airlines for each flight) and/or the electronic ticket number

Embassy C:

Flight itinerary for ROUND TRIP ticket (either in Thai or English). The ticket must show the applicant’s name, departure date and time, and flight details

Embassy D:

Evidence of travel from Thailand (air ticket paid in full).

Embassy E:

One copy of confirmed airline ticket paid in full or ticket reservation confirmation. The confirmed airline ticket paid in full or ticket reservation confirmation must be issued by airline or travel company and must contain the applicant's name, flight number, date of arrival and date of departure
