This might be helpful information to someone.
Just left Immigration office in Bangkok.
We attempted to extend my wife’s DTV visa however it was denied.
Was told that since my wife was a dependent DTV visa and I was the main holder that she is unable to file extension unless I the main holder extend as well.
Since I’ve flown in and out recently I am unable to extend since it’s only been about 40 days in Thailand.
So we are required to leave the country and enter again.
Hope this information is helpful to someone.
We haven’t done any visa runs because of her pregnancy and she just gave birth in Thailand.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their recent experience at a Bangkok immigration office where they attempted to extend their wife’s dependent DTV visa, which was denied. They were informed that since the wife held a dependent visa, she could not apply for an extension unless the primary visa holder (the husband) also extended his visa concurrently. Due to the recent travel history out of Thailand, the husband was ineligible for an extension, leading them to plan a visa run instead. The post generated discussions about the seemingly illogical rules regarding dependent visas, the process of re-entering Thailand, and suggestions for handling visa runs.
