Hello, excuse me, I would like to know if I need to leave the country to extend my 180-day DTV (visa)? Thank you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

How long before my 180 days is over should I go over to the immigration for extension? Is there a time limit?

✅ Successful Border Bounce – Nong Khai ↔️ Vientiane

Did a border bounce today! Crossed the bridge from Nong Khai, went through Lao immigration, waited on the other side for about an hour and a half, then came back into Thailand. Got stamped back in without a single question from immigration. Super smooth process!

For existing DTV holders. Question Re Driver’s licenses and DTV 180-day border bounces.

Sure many of you have already seen this onerous form for DTV extensions. Received this one today in Phuket Town but must be started at least two weeks in advance, and so I must exit and re-enter the kingdom due to insufficient time to extend. This isn’t a surprise to me, but it is a great letdown. When I asked immigration staff if the driver’s license could be applied for immediately upon return from the border bounce, the English-speaking volunteer at building 101 in Phuket Town said this shouldn’t cause a delay in applying for a driver’s license.

But I’d rather be sure. Those who bounced already on a DTV after your first 180 days, were you able to receive a drivers license without waiting another 90 days following your exit/re-entry?

I’m coming to Thailand at the end of December & would like to stay for around 4 months . I’m 66 should I apply for a non o retirement visa and then extend for a month or take a flight for a week or two and return. I’m from England.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Question 1: Once I enter initially on a workation DTV, do I need to submit a TM-30 within a day or two? Question 2: Do I need to border bounce on day 180, or do I need to border bounce on day 179? When I re-enter the 180 day clock starts over, right? Or do I need to check in with immigration every 30 days?

Question about doing the TDAC, we’re doing our first DTV border bounce this weekend to Malaysia. When returning what should we put as country of residence, our home country or Thailand since we have been here 6 months and rent a long term condo?

Thanks!

Do i need re-entry permit like retirement visa for border bounce?

Anybody have experiences with extending an O A visa at Nonthaburi?

Mine’s coming up and I’d rather avoid surprises.

Hello. Is it possible to get a visa extension for DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) at Samut Prakan Immigration or other ? I am planning to extend my visa this week .
