Thanks, Emirates won't check i have two returning tickets ?

@Stuart ********

I don't recall if there is a field in TDAC for returning date. I would prefer to fill it unless it creates a problem.

@Steve ******

So, i will book 3 trips. Two real, the other just to show if necessary. An extra expense but at a low cost...

Lodging and food are an important part. Yesterday i ate a nice noodle and duck soup at terminal 21 food for 50 baht, but for dinner i bought a soup in Villa market 65 baht, a salad for 135 baht and for protein a sandwich for 170 baht. If you eat many western food that will have an impact on your monthly budget.

On average how long will it take to process a single entry Visa? Can i travel to another country while I am waiting for the approval ? Thanks

@Greg **********

Ok. But if the problem is from the Airline that already sold me the onward ticket this will sound strange. In 2008 i had a visa for 60 days and i extended for another 30, my return ticket was for 90 days and nothing happened, but 17 years its too long for a comparison.

@Greg **********

probably will use Emirates or Qatar Airways

@Greg **********

If that happens i must change the return date, right ?

@Greg **********

Thanks ! I want my return ticket to show the real date 3 months after arrival, but the initial stamp ( with or without visa) is for 60 days. Will this be a problem ? I can spend i little more money in the flight for a flexible fare and change it after i got the stamp.

@Greg **********

If possible your opinion on this. Got the 60 day exempt and after 59 days will leave Thailand for 3 weeks back to my original EU country. But in August i plan to return for 3 months (this time using an extension). Would be safer to ask for a single entry visa for this second stay or i should be fine with a second exempt? I have a past of 2 month/year stays in Thailand for the last several years. Just this year i plan to be 5 months. Never done a border bounce and always have an onward ticket. Thanks !
