TLDR : Answer Summary
To stay in Thailand for 90 days, you can apply for a 60-day Tourist Visa online, which can then be extended for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office in Thailand. Upon arrival, your airline may require proof of an onward ticket within the 60 days, although it does not need to be a return ticket. It's advisable to check your airline's policy regarding travelers on a Tourist Visa.

Some people love the rainy/flood season, You'll really enjoy September.
If you want to stay for 90 days you apply online for a 60 days tourist visa and do a 30 days local extension at your local immigration in Thailand as explained. These are the general requirements and you apply online by creating a user in the e-visa portal.
Based on feedbacks I know the embassy in London issues tourist visa with onward flights after the initial 60 days, and I recommend that you contact your airline and ask if this also are ok with them. At the immigration in Thailand it’s normally no issue.
It's an e visa you get online you could also look at a 60 day multiple entry tourist visa.
It lasts 6 months and allows you as many 60 days as you want just leave and each time you return you get 60 days ,even if it has only 1 day before the 6 months is up and you return you will get 60 days again
The OP only wants 90 days so this is a waste of money

If you have the 60 day tourist visa, your carrying airline will want to see a ticket out of Thailand within 60 days, as per the rules of the visa application.
This doesn't have to be a return ticket, but only out of thailand. A fully refundable one to some where cheap, out of thailand, is good. You can then cancel and get refunded after arrival in Thailand. extend your visa 30 days.
Avoids the crazy fees charged to move your return flight leg 30 days.
The OP should ask their airline by email what their policy is for people entering on a 60 day Tourist Visa and take a printed copy with them for check in.

Get a Tourist visa on line which is good for 60 days and can be extended for another 30.

Not sure of UK but in Australia I use to get a 90 day visa for $45 from the Thai embassy in Sydney
well I did read that comment and I have just entered bali from phuket after being there 3months I have entered the kingdom every year for the past 23 years but missed 2 years during covid and was one of the first to enter under the sand box program under quarantine rules during the lockdown period so iam quite well aware of the visa requirements and as I said there has not been a $45 90day visa for years last $45 vvisa from memory around 2005 its now 2024 majority of visa are online and sydney thia embassy office does not except walkins its online application been that way for some time retirement visa is through immigration Canberra not state offices and it sure as xmas day is 25th December it hasn't been
a 45 dollar visa for a long time $120 for 60 day tourist visa validity of 3months from date of issue than allowed one extension of 30 days for 1900baht at thai immigration for extension approx $78 AUD at current exchange rate in this modern day a far cry from your from your pricing code
Yes this is a 90 days Non O visa based on being over 50 years and income min 65K baht a month. Works very well if you fulfil the requirements. If you just want 60 days, you can apply for a 60 days tourist visa and do a 30 days local extension as well.
send the link please. No flights no accomodation or bank details. Asking for a mate in Sydney as he's visiting exempt and extending for 30 days. He can get 90 days for aud$60
Ok, I see at the embassy in Sydney they have something called a “special tourist visa” valid for three months. This is not common, and in fact I’ve never heard of it before.
The STV was a remporary Visa which is no longer available. I think by a 90 day Visa he's refering to the TR60 Visa valid for 90 days and, with an extension, gets 90 days stay.

Yes apply for tourist visa 60 days and extend 30 days for ฿1900.
Hello, just read your comment, you said you applied for a two month tourist visa online and with only a one-way ticket? Is that correct and did you apply in the UK, London Embassy. Thanks for confirming if correct.

Never been asked for onward ticket before and I've been coming for over 20 years ...maybe new airline policy ...for some airlines it's becoming a stipulation now . Just annoying ...you can book a return and cancel or change dates or buy a fake cheap ticket it seems to be what many are doing now . Or go with an airline that doesn't ask
