I was granted a METV e-visa from Canberra in March 2024 and I had supplied a copy of my flight details of arrival May and departure November. No questions were asked.
.....I had my METV application, lodged with Canberra, Australia, approved on
****
. It had asked for proof of travel and I uploaded my return ticket with arrival date
***
and departure date
*****
. It was outside the 6 month visa validity and that had concerned me, but the application was approved. Whether this is the norm, I would not like to guess, but this is my experience with the E-Visa system here.
Entered Thailand on Multi EntryTourist Visa early May valid until 30 September.
After 1st 60 days, got 30 day extension. Then border bounced to Cambodia for a further 60 days.

flew to Penang, returning to Dom Mueang

Questioned by IO why I’m coming to Thailand. Stated tourist on METV. She replied I come to Thailand many times, which was very true but always on Tourist Visas. Anyway, after producing my airline return ticket to Australia to her supervisor, I got stamped in for another 60 days.
