ORIGINAL POSTER

Using the TM.7 application form can the DTV be extended once per entry stay for up to an extra 180 days, which means you could stay in Thailand for a total of up to 360 days (180 days + 180 days) without leaving Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, the DTV visa can be extended for an additional 180 days using the TM.7 application form, allowing for a total stay of up to 360 days without leaving Thailand. However, this process requires all original documents and may be challenging at certain immigration offices, prompting many to choose border bouncing for ease of obtaining the next 180-day stamp.

Yes technically... But it's very difficult (not to say impossible) to renew with some immigration offices.

Correct, but, you need all original updated documents, ongoing workation/soft power activity, ongoing financials and anything else the IO asks for which is why the vast majority prefer to simply border bounce to get their next 180 day entry stamp without having to provide any of the extension requirements.
