TLDR : Answer Summary
Many expats have inquired about the process for extending a DTV visa while remaining in Thailand as they approach the 180-day limit. Some have successfully received extensions and discuss various factors, including updated financial documentation, the necessity of a re-entry permit if leaving the country for the extension, and the importance of keeping all documents current. Additionally, advice to join community groups like Thai Law Advice for Expats is suggested for those seeking more tailored legal guidance.
