Successful DTV extension at Bangkok, Chaengwattana - Teleworker (Digital Nomad)

Booked an appointment online under TR visa option as it's the same desk. Took about 3 hours in total to review the application, as well as giving me feedback and for me to gather the extra documents they requested. They gave me an "under consideration stamp" and asked me to come back 10 working days later. The second day I came back with the blue receipt, waited an hour and received the extension stamp for another 6 months stay in Thailand.

Documents submitted:

1. Cover letter

2. Application form TM7 + photo

3. Thai e-Visa print out of the DTV

4. Copy of passport data page and last arrival stamp

5. Proof of finances for 500,000 baht

- My finances are in an NZ bank account. They did not ask me to show proof of the funds in a Thai bank account.

- My bank statement did not have that day's date and final amount on the same line, so I had to transfer another dollar over so the date and amount were showing side by side.

- Last year when I tried to get an extension, I was denied because the NZD amount I had one month prior to requesting an extension was below the 500k amount. Fx had continually dropped, and although I had topped up the NZD amount accordingly, they had calculated the NZD amount one month prior using the fx of the day I went in for the extension. So now I keep more than 500k baht equivalent in my NZD bank to account for the fx fluctuations.

6. Current contract with clients

- Last year when I tried to get an extension, they requested that the letter was dated not more than one month ago. This time the letter was dated just over a month, but the officer didn't comment on this.

7. Proof of work

- Business registration documents, my CV, a few screenshots of my day-to-day (blurred sensitive info)

8. Copy of lease contract

9. Copy of title deed of condo owner

- If the person who signed the lease contract with you is not the owner (the title deed of the condo I'm renting had a company name) you will need another signed document that shows how the company, owner and signee are connected. I just asked the property agent for this and they were easily able to provide it.

10. Copy of previous 90 day stay notification 11. Current TM30

Some other notes:

- I took my laptop with me in case they ask for additional documents, so I was able to gather the additional document requests easily.

- The officer who checked my appointment on the first day told me I didn't need a queue ticket for the second day, but when I showed them my blue receipt and "under consideration" stamp, they asked me to still get a queue ticket.
