Has anyone with a DTV visa successfully extended it another 180 days without leaving Thailand? If so, what were the process, costs and requirements? Is it similar to the tourist visa extension where you fill out a request, supply photos and pay 1900 baht?
Answer summary
The DTV visa can potentially be extended for another 180 days without exiting Thailand, but the process may vary. Requirements typically include updated financial proof and employment certificates, similar to those for a retirement visa, but may differ by office. Many users report that obtaining the extension can be more challenging than the initial visa, leading some to recommend leaving the country for an easier renewal process. Costs for the extension tend to be around 1900 baht, but users have indicated additional documentation might be required.

Some people have but it seems to be more difficult than getting the actual visa. Most advice is to leave the country as it’s far easier and no stress

yes i extended my DTV 2 months ago. the requirements are as Brandon posted in the official regulations. slight variations from office to office on how they interpret the rules so… for the residency part i had to submit the same as people on retirement visa. and also fresh financial proof and fresh certificate of employment. in the end not very complicated if you can get the documents.

There have been a few successful extensions. However there’s been way more unsuccessful ones. Bouncing seems to be the way easier route for the next 180 days.

Paperwork required seems to be far more than the initial application and 500k needs to be in a bank for at least 1 month prior to applying.
