What is the process of getting a DTV extension in Thailand and how can I prepare for it?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Some Postive vibes for a change. I’ve been on the DTV soft power for coming up to 1 year. This is the 3rd time using My DTV , after a fantastic 8 day get away in vietnam.
The lady was grilling a lady in front of us as she didn’t have any documents ready ( she was just doing her job)!
I walked up TDAC , laminated copy of my visa inside passport page , and stamped through for 6 months in less than 3/4 minutes.
I said thanks and the IM lady replied have a great day and thanks for being organised! 🕺 💃 🕺
Don’t listen to everything you read on the internet and especially on this forum, with so much scaremongering happening! Be organised, polite and it will all be ok! 😉
Anyway i am off for a cold beer 🍻 and get settled back in to my condo 🍻

OP@Christopher **********
you have to put your 4 innes fingers on the machine , the lady in front didn’t have her place of stay available she had to google it so it takes time , that’s all 😊Christopher ***********
Anonymous participant I understand. Anonymous participant posts might (just) be credible. Immigration Officers don't give everyone with a DTV a hard time either.
