TLDR : Answer Summary

A traveler on a 60-day visa exemption for Thailand is concerned about having an 85-day flight booked. Community members advise that while the TDAC form's departure field is not mandatory and immigration typically does not inquire about onward travel, airlines may require proof of exit within the initial 60 days. It's recommended to check with the airline regarding their policies on travel documentation. While there can be risks if the airline feels documentation is inadequate, many users report no issues even with similar situations.

No problem based on our experience.

We planned our 3 month stay in Hua Hin to explore our retirement there.

We booked our return tickets (departure Paris on 24th Septembre 2025. Landed Suvarnabhumi on 25th September. Our return tickets were booked for 21st Décembre 2025).

On TDAC my husband put his return flight while I left it blank on purpose.

We both passed Immigration at Suvarnabhumi without problem and had the 60 days stamped on passeport (stamped: exit Kingdom before 23rd November 2025).

We applied the 30 day extension on 10th of November at Hua Hin Immigration (stamped exit Kingdom before 23rd December). The process was smooth.

We actually stayed 88 days.
