To extend you will need all your original documents updated, and an agent can't do that. They don't have any immigration officials bought off to do that.

Just leave and come back, you won't get it extended without a ball ache

Before asking this group, did you go to the immigration office?
I live in Bangkok, went to my office and extended my DTV (workcation) in a few hours.
Just go to the immigration... A lot of the people telling you it's impossible or too difficult didn't even step one foot in immigration office to extend their DTV.

Already 5 years gone the Visa? I thought DTV started 15.7.2024 🤔
Why you need to extension? But just use some service as tiktok jomtien if they can handle it. Beware to start paying taxes because staying in country more than 180 days

I Know Almost Everything When he goes out and comes back --> he is also more than 180 days in country. /Sigh
And on a DTV visa you do not pay taxes.

DTV is 5 years not 180 days. Tax are about staying 180+ days a year whatever the visa

@Angelo **********
dependant on tax laws with your country and Thailand you don’t pay taxes, and over 180 days you are liable on funds brought into the country regardless of visa!Angelo ***********
ArticulateLychee9084 Correct. And? What is your point? Leaving just before the 180 days, still make two entries roughly 360 days, which is obviously above 180 days, ooops.
And on a DTV visa you do not pay taxes, so the amount of days you are in country: is completely irrelevant.

I tried a few agencies and they were either overly expensive or said exactly what everyone is telling you, it’s easier to leave and come back. The immigration office here is apparently tough on the extension for dtvs and that came from an agent.

you are wasting your time. Take a bus to Nong Khai, cross into Laos, stay in Vientiane for 2 or 3 nights, Cross back into Thailand, get stamped in for another 180 days, and take the bus back to Pattaya. If you want to do a quicker border bounce, fly from Bangkok to Singapore or Vientiane or Hanoi, and back on the same day
TurquoiseO**********
OPIs there a VIP sleeper bus available this Route ?
Andreas *********
TurquoiseOstrich6737 yes sure there are VIP sleeper busses from Bangkok or Pattaya to Nong Khai
TurquoiseO**********
OPDo u know about a contact ? Or where i can find them ?
Michael *********
@Andreas ********
- This exactly. Absolutely zero issues; was through each border in under 10 minutes - stayed for 2 nights.
Will ************
Possible if you update ALL documents used in your initial application. For example if training in gym for Muay Thai you would need a fully paid up course for the extension period

Just have a few days holiday in a neighbouring country, it’ll cos less!

OPI have someone in bkk do it for 10.000 so please stfu and collect contacts same me.. then u will not spread false Informations here with your „facts“ 🤣
TurquoiseO**********
OP10.000 i would pay for it 🙂🤙🏽 when anyone know a Service, let me know
GrayWal********
TurquoiseOstrich6737 it’s not about paying man, the process of extending your DTV is more complicated than obtaining it, regardless how much you pay or if you are using an agency or not. Instead of being so stubborn and arrogant, just book a ticket to a neighboring country and leave
James ********
TurquoiseOstrich6737 Sorry but you're not likely going to be able to get the DTV extension in the Jomtien Immigration office.
Jomtien Immigration will encourage you to leave Thailand and reenter to get a NEW DTV 180 day stamp.
You must meet ALL of the requirements for the DTV visa when you originally obtained it AND must have a Thai bank account balance of 500,000 Thai baht or more.
The Thai Visa Agent cannot bypass the 500,000 Thai baht bank account balance nor other requirements for the DTV visa.
What was the purpose of your obtaining the DTV visa?
Workcation or Soft Power Activity?
What is your passport nation?
Do you have documented proof of your ability to support yourself in Thailand? There's too much work for them to do in processing a 180 Day extension of the DTV visa.

It is very easy to apply at local Immigration for a 180 day Extension of Stay.
You just need to bring the correct documents to meet the requirements.
Cost 1.900 Thb>
Go to the local Immigration Office and ask the hand out with requirements and an appointment to do the application.
Go make the copies, check twice that all copies are there and go back on appointment date and time.

@Robert ******
not at the immigration office here in Jomtien. There are plenty if post in here saying how difficult it is and being told to just leave and return.Robert *******
@Aaron ****
Yep, it is very hard to meet the requirements if you applied for the wrong purpose of stay.was your choice, not immigration.
Aaron *****
@Robert ******
I can’t speak for others but I most definitely chose the right purpose of stay. I personally was told it is easier to just leave and return which is what I do. It doesn’t bother me and I just make a short vacation out of it. I cant speak for the others in here but I can say this is what I have been told and recently did.

It’s rare to find a visa agent that can extend. Most will suggest you leave and come back to a nearby country. I know you said you don’t want to leave but it’s more simple.

OPUseless answer i know already 🤗 i have dtv since nearly 2 years now… please just let me know when anyone know someone who can do it for 5000-10.000 baht 🤙🏽
James ********
TurquoiseOstrich6737 have you already obtained a 180 day extension before with the DTV visa?
I believe that you don't want to hear anything other than what you want to hear.
If we knew it was easy to get the DTV visa 180 days extension for 5 to 10,000 Thai baht in Jomtien Immigration, many people would do it. BUT it is not likely to happen.
