Just tried to extend my DTV at Krabi immigration office. Not good.
The officer wanted basically a repeat of all the documents submitted for the original visa but updated. And he wanted a picture of me at the house I rent, a printout of a map of where my house is, a signed letter from my landlord with a copy of landlord ID etc.
I said it would be easier for me to fly to KL and come back. He agreed.
Fortunately I have plenty of time and a favorite Indian restaurant in KL.

The user shares their recent experience at the Krabi immigration office while trying to extend their DTV visa. They encountered unexpected requirements, which included resubmitting original documentation, providing a picture at their rented house, a map of the location, a signed landlord letter, and landlord ID. Frustrated, they suggested that it might be easier to leave Thailand and return instead. Commenters agreed, noting that many find it simpler to obtain a new 180-day stamp by briefly exiting the country rather than dealing with the complexities of the extension process.
