# Question About the 180-Day Extension Process

Hi. I'd like to inquire about the 180-day extension process for the Thai Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). For those who have already gone through this extension review, could you share your experience? I'm particularly interested in understanding how rigorous the examination is - is it relatively straightforward to get approved, or is it as stringent as the initial application?

Currently, I'm working as a full remote employee with an indefinite employment contract, which qualified me for the DTV. However, I'm concerned that my contract might potentially end before I need to apply for the extension. If the extension requires the same level of documentation and verification as the initial application, I'm worried my application might be rejected if my contract situation changes.

I'm aware that since the DTV program only launched in July 2024, there might not be many people who have completed the extension process yet. Nevertheless, any insights or experiences would be tremendously helpful.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Has any one had this experience? I have heard on this "Buzzin Pattaya" channels video at the 17:00 marker a visa agent describing people having to prove their paperwork again with the DTV ?

My experience switching from Non O-A visa to Non O extension at Phuket immigration.

When my admittance stamp based on O-A was finished I left Thailand and returned on a 90 day Non O visa issued in my home country. I collected the handout from immigrations in Phuket and followed that instruction step by step. I used the German consulate (Phuket) affidavit as financial proof.

I attach the latest handout dated September 2022.

All went smooth and I "sailed thru" without problems.

Online O-A Visa application advice.

I am currently in the process of applying for the Non-Immigrant Visa “O-A” (Long Stay) online at thaievisa.go.th as I am from the UK.

My questions are:

In the application is asks for scans of documents etc, do these actually have to be scanned images or are phone photographs accepted?

One of my proofs of financial evidence is a downloaded Premium Bonds statement. This only shows proof of balance, but not when the deposit was made which was over six months ago, would this matter?

When you send in your passport for the visa do you also send in the supporting documents? If the answer is yes can you send in self printed statements from your bank?

TIA
