thanks I assumed so just wanted to double check 👍

- this is what it states on the Australia TV application form as a requirement, ‘Copy of an airline ticket indicating the date of arrival and departure from Thailand, or letter stating the itinerary/travel plan of the applicant’. So perhaps you can see why I’m trying to find out if the second option is a feasible alternative to an onward ticket?

@Brandon ***********

- ok perhaps poor wording. How consistently do they require it? Which you may have answered with your second comment that it’s random. On the visa application form it says something like an onward ticket, ‘or an itinerary or plan of travel’ is required to get the visa. So it seemed like perhaps the onward ticket wasn’t 100% requirement in this case and there might be some flexibility. Hence trying to triangulate with others’ experience. Seems like it’s just safer to book the ticket within the 60 days though, and minimise the stress

I have a related question which may also help the original poster - does anyone know how strict the Thai authorities (and the airline check in desks) are on the Tourist Visa and having an onward flight booking out of Thailand? Do you need to have the booking within the 60 days of your initial visa, then change your flight when you extend? Thanks

- we provided a bank statement for our child’s account that had their name and address on it. Or you could provide the proof you are a resident yourself on your child’s application eg through a bank statement or utility bill. But likely not required as mentioned above.

@Stuart ********

- thanks for checking and coming back to me. That was my guess too. Appreciate your response though

@Bobby *******

- any idea if you get the 30 days ‘under consideration’ on Covid extension is it just a formality that you get the additional 30 days when you go back? Or is it possible you’re asked additional questions at that point? Thanks

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

- thanks that’s what I was hoping!

@Niclas **********

- ah yes good point. So timing of results is just down to the airport testing rather than the hotel being linked to a hospital like in bangkok. Thanks for the reminder

Quick related question- if you have the visa waiver extension until 1st March, can you actually go on the 1st March to try to get the Covid extension? Or do you need to go on the 28th Feb?
