Hello, my dtv visa needs an extension before may. Did anyone already extend their dtv already? And did you bounce borders or go immigration? Is any paperwork required ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your DTV visa in Thailand, you will need to prepare a significant amount of paperwork, including proof of 500,000 baht in a bank account. Some individuals have successfully extended their visas, while others opted for a border run, which can grant an additional 180 days. It's advisable to plan ahead, and consider a cheap flight for travel during this process.

There’s a shed load of paperwork required. You will also need to show the 500k banked.

There have been some successful extensions but most bounce for another 180 days.
