Hello everyone. I hope you are all well and having a good morning. I like to visit Phuket in a few weeks on Visa-exempt with the 30 day's extention, but I cannot figure out what kind of return ticket I should buy. Is it 30-days or can I also buy 60 days return ticket? I wonder if the airlines will not let me on board or maybe the Immigration will not give me the visa stamp. Thank you so much for your help. Have a great weekend everyone. Stay Safe!!!

Some airlines offer free ticket changes. With Etihad you can change the date of your ticket for free. That makes things a lot easier.
