TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the necessity of having an exit flight ticket after their arrival in Thailand on an STV visa. Additionally, there are comments regarding the potential unavailability of the STV visa, given its scheduled end in September, and a suggestion to consider the STD visa as an alternative.

You can always get the STD visa, available always ๐Ÿ˜‰

The STV is currently scheduled to end in September so won't actually be available to you. If they do decide to continue with it they probably won't announce it until September (that's what they did last year). It was introduced for covid times so there is no guarantee it will be continued

@Frnc *******
that might be possible but you won't be able to extend it past the first three months the way things are currently scheduled so it is of no more benefit than TR visa bit more expensive and with more onerous requirements

@Frnc *******
yes. I'd keep your flights as they currently are. You've plenty of time to get an STV visa if they do decide to continue with it. If they don't you'll still have time to get a TR visa which will allow you 60 days and then can be extended for a further 30 days within Thailand. You can then always book a ticket to Cambodia/Vietnam/Laos/Malaysia to show you have an onward ticket within your scheduled visa time. You can then then repeat the process when you reenter
