TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew a DTV visa while staying at a hotel in Thailand, you will need a TM30 form. All hotels are required to file this form on behalf of their guests, typically done online. If your hotel does not provide a TM30, it may not be a licensed establishment, which is a concern since they bypass TM30 filing to avoid taxation. For the renewal process, you may also need to provide updates to your initial documentation, prove financial stability with a bank balance (usually 500,000 THB), or consider a border run as an alternative to the extension.

Yes you will need it. BUT I will assume that you are not staying in a licensed hotel. They exist and don't file the TM30 to AVOID Thai income taxation.

TM30 will be required.

Your hotel should give a receipt to you if you ask.

Maybe just ask them to file it again and get a fresh receipt.

If they are not filing your TM30 registration, they are not following the laws.

The consensus seems to be that it's easier to just head out of country and come back in though. Going to Immigration to extend requires much of the same, if not all of the same documents as you applied with, and some need to be more recent and up to date.

Do you mean to extend at immigration inside Thailand? Yes you will along with updates to the information you supplied initially and 500k in the bank. A border run might be easier

every hotel will do TM30 for its guests. its done online.

what do you mean with renew? extension after 180 days for another 180 days? that needs extensive documents
