To apply for the 180-day extension, you must visit the immigration office that serves your area in person. It's important to prepare your documents and maintain a minimum balance of 500,000 baht in your bank account for at least one month prior to your application. Alternatively, some people choose to leave the country and re-enter to obtain another 180 days.
