ok. so i will assume embassy will ask for ticket out when i apply for the 60 day visa. as i think they want proof of at least airline ticket in, thanks for your help. im a bit leery of the idea of showing embassy a ticket back out 29 days later, when im applying for a 60 day visa . when i would get a 30 day visa for free. why would one show a ticket out 29 days later. but i will try it

@Garrett **********

ok i will try it. im now a bit confused who exactly wants to see the ticket out? the embassy when applying for visa. or immigration when i show up. regardless i will try this idea. i will apply for a 60 day visa and get a ticket out of thailand for 29 days after my arrival date into thailand and then i will buy a 3o day covid policy . think that is what u think u are saying

@Garrett **********

thanks for clarifying . i will do that.........i think i need to show the ticket out when i apply for the 60 day visa.. they might think it odd im applying for a 60 day visa when i get a free visa for 30 days, and i show a ticket out 30 days later. they might wonder why i apply for the 60 day visa. ............i think what you are implying is that maybe i dont need to show a ticket out of thailand to apply for the 60 day visa. and only when i actually go to thailand i have to show that

@Garrett **********

im confused with your response as im getting a 60 day tourist visa of course i would like to only pay for 30 days covid insurance, so u are suggesting i show a ticket out of thailand lets say 35 days after arrival and once in thailand i can change the date of the ticket out , to a later date, thus i only have to buy covid insurance for the 35 days not the full 60 days

i think u are suggesting i get only a 30 day free visa. to minimize covid insurance, but if i got only a 30 day visa then i can only stay two months total, as i can only get a 30 day extention. whereas if i get a two month visa i can extend 30 days and get 90 days total.

@Garrett **********

i want to stayin thailand as long as possible in the easiest way. to me the 60 day visa is the answer and then i can extend 30 days and possibly more at a later date. i hear what u are saying . but if i get a 60 day visa , i cant really have a return ticket out 30 days later? ok maybe 31 days. so i think u are suggesting i get a 60 day visa. and show a ticket out to get the visa , 31 days .........later..................that way i can have a 60 day visa. and only pay for a 31 days covid insurance. and then once in thailand i just change the return ticket date.?

THANKS garrett, so to confirm , if i have a 60 day tourist visa i need to have a ticket out exactly or before 60 days? and now u have got me thinking, u are saying if i have a 60 day visa i would only need 30 days covid insurance if i have a ticket out 30 days later ? that seems odd , as why would i get 60 day visa when i show a ticket out 30 days later?

@Michael *******

thanks micheal i bet u are right they wont give info until a week before so better i plan now

@Michael *******

im assuming i can fly out of usa on oct 31 and if i arrive thailand nov 2. then i get the nov rules that will apply to me. i realize its a stupid question but airlines here are notorious for being hard asses. i cant tell you how many times they want my visa to go to thailand when i get a free 30 days. ( pre covid}

@Stuart ********

does that ticket have to be within the 60 days of his visa. as he plans to stay lets say 5months. can the ticket out be 5 months later? even though the visa is only 60 day visa
