TLDR : Answer Summary

The Bangkok immigration office has posted requirements for visa extensions, which are intended as general guidelines. It's important for applicants to visit their local immigration office to clarify these requirements and the interpretation specific to their circumstances. A key correction noted in the comments is regarding the proof of funds requirement, which should be 500,000 baht instead of the incorrectly listed 5 million baht. There are also discussions on the options available for extending a visa while in Thailand.

Just wanted everyone to know that the 5000,000 baht they list for the proof of funds is a MISTAKE and it should be the 500K baht like the visa requires NOT 5 million baht 😛

Just as I feared rather that taking the information as presented and then GOING to the immigration office that serves the area where you stay to ask THEIR interpretation of the requirements the post turned into a sh*t show.

Good luck to one and all holding a DTV

it is up to each one of you to decide if you want to get the one in country extension you're allowed per entry OR if you just want to bounce out and back to get a new 180 day entry stamp

Listen up people, you need to slog on out to the immigration office that serves the area where you stay and get the hand out or talk to the people at that office doing the extensions to find out exactly how this will be interpreted by your office

I posted this just to let you know that the immigration office (at least in bangkok) posted the requirements. These are NOT all inclusive and are to be used as a guideline ONLY

GO TO YOUR OFFICE AND ASK 🙂
