We will be flying in next week and planning on doing an extension for staying 60 days.

Should we have an onward ticket dated for the first 30 days or should we show an onward ticket for our desired stay of 60 days?

Thanks for your help. :-)

Technically it's 30 days. The solutions are:

- low cost throwaway ticket to nearby destination ~ 1,000 baht with airport tax recoverable (Air Asia, Thai Lion Air etc)

- rent a real ticket for 48 hours on flyonward.com for about 10 dollars.

- solution that involves knowledge of editing software, that I cannot go into on a public forum.

- argue with the airline to accept a ticket in 60 days or no ticket by signing an indemnity agreement that you would be liable for all cost of repatriation should you get rejected entry.

Its not a option from UK as to buy a 1 way ticket from a Airline can cost twice as much as a return the robbing gits.......
