ORIGINAL POSTERIs the visa a one off 10,000B fee for the 5 years?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The 10,000 THB fee is a one-time charge for the five-year DTV visa. However, after 90 days, a report must be made to the local immigration office, and there are additional extension options available at a cost.

Do you have to do a new Muay Thai or cooking course every year or is it just pay the once

Yes, 10,000 THB for the five year DTV. After 90 days you must make a report to your local immigration office. You have a choice of applying for an extension after 180 days at your local immigration office for a fee of 1,900 THB. Otherwise, you must exit. After 360 days you must exit. Rinse and repeat.

Yes, only other fees are for in country extensions.

ORIGINAL POSTER@Pete ******
what is the 'in country ' extension? I understand that I'd need to leave after 180 days and then small allowed back in again for an180 days. (presumably if I have signed up for another 6 month course).Pete *******
@Monica *******
in country extensions are when you go to the local immigration office and resubmit all your original DTV paperwork to get a new 6 month stamp for 1900baht. Even the Immigration Officers suggest you simply exit and re-entry (no paperwork, no fee).Luit *****************
@Pete ******
Not all immigration offices suggest you simply exit and re-entry.Where and when did you get this answer?
Monica ********
ORIGINAL POSTER@Pete ******
another question. Say the initial course i sign up for is only 6 months. If the visa is for 5 years I'll need to be finding some new course every 6 months?Luit *****************
@Monica *******
Officially you indeed a new course, but as long as the checks ar entry are very rare, you could take the risk of not having a new course.Pete *******
@Monica *******
only if you do an in country extension. Exit and re-enter and currently there are no checks.Monica ********

so still 1,900B every 3rd month in addition?Roxana ******
@Monica *******
with DTV you are allowed to stay in the country for 6 months, not 3.Pete *******
@Monica *******
no, 1900 baht per year as you can only get one in country extension per year. It’s obviously free if you exit and re-enter.Reply to
