I got a 60d extension for my first extension of SETV. Immigration Office didn’t ask for proof of return flight to UK. However different Immigration Offices seem to apply the rules differently so if you want to be sure just go and ask at your local Office.

Simon, best to go ask at your local immigration office. The rules (or at least their implementation) varies from office to office. When I got my 60d TR VISA extended last time (extended to early April) the officer told me I would probably get another 60d extension in April as the current rules are due to run until end of May, as

@Ben ******

says above. You can apply for VISA extension within 30d of expiry so I suggest you get your ass over to HH Immigration sooner rather than later to find out for sure. Can you report back here what they tell you?

, I did pretty much same as Lisa above. I applied at RTE London in Nov for VISA and flew MAN>DXB>BKK with Emirates in Dec.

For VISA application I put my intended flight and ASQ hotel (I had not booked/paid anything at this stage). When my passport was returned with VISA now in it I applied for COE using same flight and ASQ info. Once COE was pre-approved I then booked flight and ASQ and uploaded ticket & ASQ booking to complete COE application. Pretty straightforward, just confusing at the start.

I had this form ready just in case when I travelled to Thailand in Dec. At UK check-in (Emirates) they said it’s no longer required. Nobody asked to see it at transit (DXB) or at Thai Immigration (BKK).

You’re guided all the way. Not thing to worry about at all. Just make sure you have all the paperwork available.

@Tod ********

, I agree. I had less than 30d to go on my TR visa and just got a 60d Covid extension.

I opened an account with SCB Hua Hin. Used my rental agreement as proof of residence. It was a few years ago so things may have changed. I suggest you take a Thai friend with you - always helps a lot.

But to be on safe side I would complete it and have it ready just in case.

I put the address I’m staying at after ASQ

@Johnny ********

Same for me. I offered it at COE check and Immigration - both said they didn’t need it.

I’m UK resident. I checked with RTE London and they confirmed copy of Council Tax bill or Utility bill is fine. I used Council Tax bill to get my TR Visa - no problems.
