Hi, hope you’re all well 🤍 I’m Australian and currently in Chiang Mai on the Tourist Visa (60 days). I would like to apply for a 30 day extension. I was hoping someone could assist me please 🙏

Is it possible to do this all online or do I need to visit an Immigration Office? If I need to do in person:

- which Immigration Office would you recommend?

- can I apply 2 weeks in advance?

- can I make photocopies of passport and take passport photos at the Inmigration Offices?

Thank you so much!

First time doing the 90 day check in (or whatever it's called) with the DTV. How do I do it in Bangkok?

Anyone able to provide an idiots guide to filling out a tm30 once line once I have registered with immigration, on my way to do it and it’s my first time, wish me luck 🤣

Hello!

DTV holders are required to do 90 days reporting as well in local immigration office?

I thought the visa is valid for 5 years & each entry allows you to stay 180 days at a stretch without any border run/ border bounce or any other thing.

Hi all, those already on a DTV - have you had any issues traveling within Thailand? Say, you are based in Chiang Mai and want to visit Phuket for a week. Is this problematic in any way?

I saw some info on a website that said DTV holders might experience issues traveling to other provinces (away from where they are based) for short trips. It seemed counterintuitive to me, but I want to check if this has been problematic for anyone.

Also, has anyone experienced issues having short trips to nearby countries (Laos, Indonesia, etc.)? Or do just get stamped for 180 days when you arrive back to Thailand (no questions asked about why you travelled)? Thanks so much 😊

Has anybody been to Immigration in order to extend their 60 days “on arrival visa” for an extra 30 days at 1900 Bahts.

If so, could you tell me if I am gonna need to justify where I stay? Does my accommodation owner need to fill up some online form to prove I live there?

Thank you. 🙏

Is it necessary to "check-in" online at immigration every 3 months with the DTV visa of 180 days? Thanks for your help.

Seeing conflicting information online about required docs for visa exempt extension. Some places saying everything down to exit flights + bank statements and some places saying just show up with tm30, fill out the extension form, sign some papers, and pay.

In the Chom Thong area of Bangkok if that helps.

Looks like the Immigration division 1 at Lak Si is the local office for short term extensions. Thanks in advance, don’t want to mess it up in person and have hours of delay with my toddler at immigration

I’m confused about the 90 day check-in with the DTV visa.

1. Do you have to show a bank statement with the 500,000 THB in the bank when you check-in at 90 days?

2. Do you have to do a 90 check-in after every re-entry or once a year?

Thanks in advance for your help in clarifying

Have just successfully completed my 90 day check in.

I asked what documents were needed for the 180 day extention and they said another (up to date) copy of a bank statement showing proof of 500,000 THB funds.

They also giggled and said they didn’t really know as it’s a new VISA 😊
