Will my e-visa application for Thailand be approved if I ask for 60 days and plan to extend it later?
If a have a ticket to bangkok for go and return for 80 days and I ask for a e visa for 60 days because I want to a extend it for 30 days in Thailand. Will they grant me the visa or declane it.
Answer summary
The approval of an e-visa for Thailand, specifically a 60-day visa with a plan to extend it by 30 days, depends on the discretion of the issuing embassy or consulate. Some applicants have reported successful approvals under similar circumstances, but there may be airline boarding issues if no outward ticket is available.

That’s up to the embassy/consulate that issue the visa. Some may let it go, some may not.
However you may also have an issue with your airline not allowing you to board without a ticket out of Thailand for the initial days allowed.

Yes, but return ticket is not compulsory. An onward ticket will suffice.Steve ********

Exactly as I said. Return ticket not required.Michael ****************
@Steve *******
so either an onward ticket or return ticketMichael ****************

I read it differently: Proof of onward travel and fundsImmigration officials in Thailand may ask you for proof of onward travel (eg a return or onward air ticket). You should make all reservations before travelling to Thailand. Some airlines have refused to board passengers without evidence of onward travel.

@Steve *******
eg a return or onward ticket see message above so proof that you will get out of Thailand alsoSteve ********

You're getting confused between "return" and "onward". The UK website which you linked to clearly states ONWARD, not return, so I'm not sure how you're reading itGeorge *************
OP@Stuart ********
The visa is an e visa that goes directly to Thailand and they approve it or notMichael ****************
@George ************
true. And airlines are monitored for checking return ticket as wellMichael ****************

you may like to think so, but in actual fact it’s handled at a local embassy/consulate level depending where you’re applying from. Each have their own regulations and requirements.Activity
