Hi, my friend arrives in Thailand entering with visa exempt status (60 days) his return ticket is dated 88 days after arriving. After 60 days or a little less he was going to apply for a 30 day extension. Will he have a problem as the flight ticket is 88 days and the visa exempt is 60 days. Thanks everyone
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user expressed concern that their friend entering Thailand under visa-exempt status (60 days) might face problems with immigration since their return flight is booked for 88 days after arrival. Community members shared insights regarding airline policies, stating that the main concern may come from the airline rather than immigration. Typically, airlines require proof of onward travel within the visa-exempt period. While some users reported never being questioned about return tickets by immigration, others advised checking with the airline before flying, as experiences can vary significantly. Recommendations included buying a flexible ticket or confirming the airline's requirements for onward travel.
