Can I extend my Destination Thailand Visa after the initial five years?

no, you're blacklisted after

Bronze elite is your cheapest other solution if you are worried

Literally no one knows. The Thai government doesn't even know.

No one knows. I'm just glad I will be 50 when mine expires.

First... after 5 years it won't be extend

Because your visa validation is 5 years , means at the end of the 5 years the visa is expired. Means also, need a new Visa

Second.... no one ever can predict 5 years time about the policies and the rules to be implemented that time... in reality you can't even predict what will be the situation end of this year.

So.. enjoy your current time holding this visa

Till further notice by authorities and don't bother yourself with that far ending point.

Because as we said... no answer 😊🙏

There is no provision for an extension on the DTV. If it's still around you could possibly apply for a new one, but we're not going to know that for at least another four years, and there's always the possibility that previous holders may not be able to apply again. Too many unknowns. If you're looking at wanting to remain in Thailand forever, my advice is to look at other potential visas just in case you can't get another DTV

Nobody knows. The Visa is not yet a year old. It took them 6 months to come up with a few guidelines on how to extend in country. I can assure you there has been no thought put into what happens in 5 years time.

You're asking about FOUR YEARS and change too soon 🙁

No one on this group OR any thai related group on the inter-web has the slightest idea how it will work in July 2029 <- five years after the Destination Thailand Visa progran rolled out

Doesn't matter if you have a connection to the UK or not 😮 ,

You can go to a nearby country's thai consulate and apply for the DTV online thru them without any issue at all.

There's no requirement you get the visa in your home country
