What are the requirements and process for extending a DTV in Krabi, Thailand?

Just to get some clarity— what, specifically was the strictness you describe in the: "strict enforcement of the „residency“-section"? Are you referring to the questions you were asked about work, address, etc. (and your cartography skills)?

ahahahha Immigration calls the "extension" falsely an "exemption" . .. Stupid as stupid be . . . some of them are stoooopid

I haven't got my dtv visa yet as I plan to get it when I arrive back in England in March, I just landed back in from Vietnam Hanoi yesterday evening from doing a "border run" I flew into Vietnam for 2 days and then back into Bkk, ive been coming here for over 25 years, I live now basically in Thailand and have always done this with visa extensions etc as I still go back to the uk for 3-4 months a year to see family 👪....I was detained by immigration as soon as I went through passport control, I managed to sort it after an hours interrogation by them after making a few phone calls and getting the mrs to speak with them and provide her ID etc, there were queues of people that were being detained, I got through but they said I'd never be able to come through again without an appropriate visa and the officer recommended I get a DTV, they were ok, very polite, im a calm person anyway, seen 2 others that looked Indian get refused entry, I dont know what for but they were arguing with the officers, never had anything like this before, ever

Thanks for the share 😁

Well done !! The dam is breaking..

Hopefully this now spreads to the rest of the country.

well done, congratulations 🙂 clearly you are a glutton for punishment.. BUT you're dealing with a really laid back not hard core office as well (y)

Glad it worked out, that only took what? 15 trips to the immigration office 😉 😛 just kidding, congrats,

So you showed proof of funds in your bank account in your country via an online app and it was accepted for the DTV financial requirements ?

So if you dont know how much baht for one euro they deny you???

If i have to draw a map i might as well go home. 😂 #alwayslost

Thanks for the laugh Dany Nomads 🙏

Hilarious

what your work? how much bath one euro?

How much did you have to show in your account ?

Looks like they struggled to find an appropriate stamp

@Dany *******

Congratulations on your DTV Extension and Thank You Very Much for your report about successfully obtaining an Extension!

If you would be so kind, then please do update us whenever you exit and re-enter Thailand again within the next 6 months as curious to see how many days the Thai Immigration Officer will stamp you in for (a new 180 days or up until the end of this DTV Extension)....

The point on the map lol. A couple of years ago I saw some Philippine girls refused entry at a border run as they could not point to their accommodation location on a map. They def did not make the bus back to Bangkok.

Good news

2 weeks ago people said it was not possible
