TLDR : Answer Summary

A traveler from a country with a 30-day visa exemption needs to have a departure ticket from Thailand, but it can be for any onward destination. Additionally, it is possible to apply for a visa while still in Thailand after the 30-day stay, provided the applicant meets the necessary requirements.
