I have the DTV Visa and planning on getting an extension at Bangkok immigration whilst out there but I cant find out what documents I need. In the past with the 60 day tourist visa I got a 30 day extension. I just needed to fill out a form, bring passport, passport photos and pay a fee. Is it the same when getting a 180 day extension with the DTV? Also after getting the extension and almost staying out there for a year can I do a border run instead of taking a flight home?

Have we gotten any reports from DTV holders returning to Thailand, after leaving the first time?

And has anyone tried extending their 180 days yet? What were the requirements?

TIA

Heads up re DTV extension in Thailand. I just went to do 90 day report at Samui Immigration and thought I would ask if they knew yet re the 180 day extension.

Waited 5mins and got pulled into an office with 2 very helpful officers and 2 very big folders of paper!!

Asked them a few questions but my main one was what they will require for the 180 day extension.

After flicking through folders they came up with answer that need to show 180 days of bank statements showing the 500k THB balance(I didnt ask about non Thai banks tbh) and no other documents needed.

They said that this could be subject to change and as so new they didnt really know too much about the process hence the 2 folders of documents.

Just an fyi basically and obviously this is just one Immigration Office so others might have different requirements but they did look like they were referring to official documents from a higher source.
