Proof of onward journey required for VOA?

[siam99]

I will be traveling into Bangkok from the US for a planned 2-month stay. I only bought a one-way ticket as I am using mileage points from two different airlines. So, I currently have my inbound journey ticket. I am planning to buy the return one-way soon. Since the VOA is valid for only 30 days, do I need to buy a one-way that shows outbound within the 30 days (which I would cancel after entry into an outbound closer to the 60-day mark)? Also, is it that no one is really checking anyway that one has the onward journey?

If you are from the US you do not qualify for a visa on arrival. You will get a 45 day visa exempt entry.

For the visa exempt entry or the visa on arrival you will need a ticket out of the country within 30 or 45 days to show the airline.

You could get a temporary onward ticket that you can get online for around $14

Thanks a lot for the clarification.
