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!!!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The author is unsure whether to buy a 30-day or a 60-day return ticket, fearing potential issues with airlines or immigration. Comments from the community share experiences regarding return tickets, with some stating that longer return tickets were accepted without issue, while others caution that some embassies may impose restrictions based on ticket dates.

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

I also had a 90 day ticket for a 60 day visa, also ended up getting a 60 day covid extension after the first 60 and was not asked about onward travel.
