That’s fine if you don’t need one to also apply for your visa. If you do, you’re going to need a ticket rental that’s longer than just a day.

When I said I doubt your airline to Thailand would check the validity of your outgoing ticket I didn’t mean they wouldn’t check that you have one, only that I doubt they would try and log into the airline’s site with your booking to verify fits a legitimate ticket.

So you could get a ticket rental for your visa application then show it to the airline after it’s expired.

All non long term visas require it on application

The only problem with the onward ticket rental thing is at most I think you can rent a ticket for 2 weeks.

If your visa application ends up taking 3-4+ weeks and they end up checking the ticket after it expires you’ll have a problem.

I think on a 60 day entry you’d be ok with a 2 week window but for a multi entry TR or STV I’ve seen people say they’re waiting 1-2 months in some cases.

I doubt your airline to Thailand would check the validity of your flight out of Thailand but if you’re worried about that then you’d have to get a second rental ticket for a day or two.

The cost of a two week and 1-2 day rental ticket is maybe $20 cheaper than getting a $50 flight to Cambodia and tossing it.

Good to hear. So you uploaded a photo of blank passport pages?

Single entry TR, hopefully not too complex for their new setup

@Andy *********
Good idea. Will give that a try. Hopefully it doesn’t draw out the process, I’ve got just under a month before I fly.

Thanks

Ah ok. Where did you write an explanation? I don’t see anywhere to leave info, only select files to upload

Curious if they’ve accepted a picture of blank pages with anyone else

You can apply for 60, if they deny you, you will get 7.

Using an agent will cost more but you should be able to get it for sure.

If you apply yourself there’s a chance you will only get 7.

You probably will get the Covid extension if you pay an agent to get it for you.

But you will pay something like 6-10k baht.

If you apply yourself you pay 1900 but there’s a chance you will be denied.

It’s cheaper to pay an agent than fly to Cambodia, stay 1-2 days then fly back to Thailand.

It’s also a lot less hassle and faster.
