Two questions regarding Tourist Visa (SVT).
I'm about to apply for my SVT. I intend to stay 90 days. So, 60 days and file for an extension in Thailand as required. Proof of round trip flight is required with SVT application. Should I book my return flight for 90 days, as that is how long I intend to stay? Or, do I need to book my return flight for 60 days, then reschedule the departing flight after getting my extension? Next question, are 30 day extensions denied very often?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is applying for a Special Tourist Visa (STV) to stay in Thailand for 90 days and is seeking advice on whether to book a return flight for 60 days or 90 days, given the requirement for a round-trip flight, and how often 30-day extensions are denied. Community comments suggest that a return flight should be booked for 60 days to meet airline requirements, and extensions are rarely denied if all paperwork is in order.
