What is the fee to extend your DTV after the 180 days in Thailand. Some reports 1900 baht, others 10000 baht. Cannot leave/border bounce do to medical for this 180 days. Thanks
Answer summary
The fee for extending a DTV visa after 180 days in Thailand is generally confirmed to be 1900 baht. However, applicants must be prepared to provide extensive documentation similar to what was needed when initially applying for the visa. This includes fresh proof of financial stability (e.g., 500k baht in a Thai bank), proof of ongoing medical treatment, and other relevant documentation. Some sources initially suggested a fee of 10,000 baht, which has led to confusion among applicants. It's recommended to consult directly with the immigration office for detailed requirements and potential alternatives, especially if medical issues prevent border runs.

offices were looking forward to extend DTV in-country for 10,000 THB

now that they can only charge 1900 THB (standard government fee) they aren't interested and they'll recommend you a border run instead (or switch to a visa they still make money on)

brown envelope options may exist

I saw the post you’re referring to and the respondent was very, very clear that the 1000 is if you just pay at the airport and 1900 if you file paperwork.

Sometime I think ppl post just to have social engagement.

1900 baht. Plan for multiple trips to the immigration office as they will try to make it as painful as possible most of the time. When you meet the requirements they will add a new one. You come back with that requirement but there's another new one. They want you to give up, but after enough tries they will relent.

It's 1900 baht, but originally they said it would be 10k, which is why you are getting misinformed

1900 baht. but you will need extensive documentation to make it work… all documents that you presented for the application with a fresh date, stamp, signature, whatever… fresh financial proof of 500k, soft power or workcation proof. residency proof (this can be extensive depending on the office)… you better ask at the office what they want to see

Fee for extension is 1900 THB. This goes for O, B, TR, VE, DTV.

Application for Extension of Stay at Immigration cost 1.900 Thb.

The amount of days you get OR not approved does not make a difference in price.

Your best bet is to simply go to the immigration office you would be applying through and ask. They will most likely tell you to just do a border run since it is the simplest, but explain the medical situation.

FYI, I wouldn't wait until a week before your 6 months are up to get on this because there is no telling how long it will take.

Final thing, I don't know your medical situation, but you do know that you cannot get a 2nd extension, right? Hopefully your health will be improved enough to by the end of the 6 month extension period.

Good idea to go as early as you can. In Chiang Mai for example can apply for extensions 45 days before expiry date of visa.

Not easy to do I heard some offices don’t do them but you’ll need everything you did when you applied including the 500k in the bank good luck

I think the bigger issue might be that you have to essentially submit the entire set of (updated) documents when you originally applied for DTV for the extension :-(. Hence why most people just bounce. I understand it is due to your medical condition. Getting a letter from the doctor or hospital might help.

Anonymous participant 839 My medical document which is being used to extend, also states I am not to be traveling. So I have to do it long and hard way, but I do have all that updated documentation

Hopefully with all the documentation you should be fine. Some hospitals have a department to help with immigration. There was a post in here months ago where a guy applied under medical in Chiang Mai for extension. His reason for rejection was solely down to not having the 500k in the bank for the last 30 days if I remember correctly. Good luck and hope it all goes well.

Is your DTV issued on the basis of medical treatment or something else?

Anonymous participant 839 This extension is different than the 30 days extension after 60 days visa exemption. This is for another 180 days extension for the DTV visa.
