TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion highlights the recent confirmation that the extension fee for the Tourist Visa is 1,900 baht, as opposed to the previously speculated fee of 10,000 baht. Comments express concerns about the initial misinformation regarding the fee and shift focus towards the actual criteria and requirements for extending visas, including the duration of required bank seasoning, acceptable account types, scrutiny of work contracts, and anecdotal experiences regarding successful in-country extensions.

Who cares about the price of the extension, what I'm interested in is, the criteria for extension.

How many months do you need to season the 500K for?

Can it be in a foreign bank account? What exchange rate do they use to calculate how much you have in Baht?

How much do they scrutinize your work contracts? Do they call your employer?

So far, I've not seen even one report of a successful in country extension.

No. Interesting if you don't want to do a border run. That's what this group is for.

When the DTV was first announced the extension fee was stated as 10k. This is where the belief came from.

People were guessing. There was no official fee stated. Immigration said absolutely nothing and this is their domain and not MFA. Happy to be proved wrong but show us an Immigration Department stated the 20k number?

People just interpreted it that way ...

Chaengwattana was telling people about a month ago that the extension would be 1900baht BUT that they didn't have the requirements for it in writing yet, so they were telling people to bounce out and back to get a new 180 day stamp instead

(T.i.T) This is Thailand you could probably ask people that work in the same building at immigration and they'd end up telling you different information & prices....

Great to see quiet a few people have successfully obtained an Extension at Immigration now
