My friend is coming to Thailand about 45 days. Can he get an extension when he arrives and how much is is? His outbound flight is more than 30 days. I know this is basic but I've always had a long term visa. Thanks.

So I’ve put in for the 60 day T visa with a return date several days past the 60 day mark, just like I have done in the past, and this time they are asking for proof of outbound flight within the 60 days.

I’ve got all of the previous 30 day extensions documents but for some reason I feel like I should just pick up an onward ticket for the $15 and submit that instead.

Anyone try and succeed in receiving the 60 day visa by showing the original flights and proof of previous extensions after getting the letter requesting the additional flight info?

I applied with the NYC office.

I’m relatively inexperienced with Thai visa’s but I wanted to give a heads up in case what happened to me yesterday isn’t common knowledge.

Yesterday we were returning from Vietnam after successfully getting an ED visa for both my wife and I. We didn’t apply for anything for our kids because we were missing their birth certificate, but the consulate didn’t seem to care because kids can’t be turned away at the border.

We flew from Saigon to Da Nang for a little holiday before returning to Bangkok. Upon arrival to check in to our VietJet Air flight in Danang, they wouldn’t let us check-in because the kids didn’t have a valid visa, and no ongoing flight. They made me stand there in the queue and book a flight out of Thailand for my kids within 30 days, before they would issue a boarding pass. They mentioned that this is the direction of the airline. What made it even more strange is that a guy stood next to us was also being prevented from getting a boarding pass without an outbound flight, and he was planning on entering on a VOA.

We booked our flight and I immediately cancelled, and when we entered Bangkok the immigration had no issues whatsoever. They issues my kids 30 days, and stamped our ED visas for 90 days, with no proof of an outbound flight required.

Not sure if this is useful information, or if anybody knows of times where another airline make you book an outbound flight before issuing a boarding pass?

If this is completely normal, I apologise for wasting your time.
