Anyone know how many days before the last day of your 180 days you can apply for an extension?

Hello

I have a DTV visa. When I applied I had 500,000 Baht in my personal account. Now I have a company in Hong Kong and I keep the money there. Will the company's bank statement be accepted for visa extension?

Applying for an O extension at Cheang Watthana today and was told to come back for this reason:

my visa expires on march 28. I was able to book an appointment for today, the 17th. I got my bank balance up to 800k on January 24, 2 months and a few days to season or so I thought. I did not know 2 months seasoning is calculated back from the day you’re at immigration to ask for an extension, NOT 2 months back from the day your visa expires. I have to go back March 24-28.

On a 1 year extension, for a Non O retirement visa, set to expire on April 13th, 2025. Came back into Thailand on Jan 16th, 2025. Needed a certificate of residency (to obtain a Thai DL), and received that certificate on Feb 25th.

Then I just renewed my visa with another 1 year extension, on March 6th, which was dated as valid until April 13, 2026.

So, I’m unsure about when my next 90 day check in is required. Is it 90 days after the last time I entered the country (90 days from Jan 16th)?

Or did the certificate of residency, effectively create a 90 day check in. And therefore my next 90 day would be due 90 days after February 25th?

Or is my next 90 day check in due 90 days after the start of my new visa extension (90 days from April 13th).

Thanks in advance🙏

I’m in a desperate dilemma. Maybe I’ll be ok, but there’s potential of significant harm.

My trip to Thailand was cut short by progressive agitation of my lung injury, the final part due to vibrations of a bus. I’ve been recuperating in a great place in Ao Nang, where healing’s been steady but slow. It’s been 32 days and I’m still not safe for traveling.

My 60-day visa runs out March 16, and to extend I must go to an immigration office 30 minutes away. But car vibrations are bad for me. I could avoid that by sending them a Thai medical certification, but for that I’d need to go the local hospital – 7 minutes by car, not as bad. But there’s nothing doctors can do to confirm my condition; tests will show normal. All a Thai doctor can do is listen to my American doctor, who doesn’t know much though he’d probably write a letter. Without a letter, the Thai hospital won’t grant the certification (and might not even with a letter). I have until Monday (March 17) to get to this done.

The consequences of overstaying my visa are harsh. First, there are fees and bans; the latter would be terrible as I’m considering making Thailand a winter home. Far worse, if found, I’d probably face forced deportment, which could be a potential health catastrophe.

So my dilemma is I'm now forced to take serious risks with my health, likely to some level of injury degrading my quality of life temporarily, and possibly permanently and critically. Ironically, this might land me in the same predicament as earlier, needing more time to recover, but with no option to extend and having to leave the country, at greater risk.

I estimate I could probably make either trip (hospital or immigration office) without major problems. But it’s hard to say.

* One exchange with the US consulate sounds promising, but there's more to work out.

* I've heard of a visa agent, so you don't have to go in. Is this an option?

I welcome your ideas here. Thanks for reading.

Good day, I would like to ask someone about my situation

On November 20th I visited Thailand for the first time in my life and got a stamp for 60 days, then I extended my stay for an additional 30 days and then flew to Vietnam on the last day (day no. 90)

Then I booked a flight from Vietnam to Bangkok which took place on February 23rd and there were some minor problems at the border, they started asking me about my financial means, travel plan etc. but finally after 2 hours they finally let me into Thailand with a stamp for 60 days (until April 23rd)

My question is: can I go to the immigration office on April 18th to extend my stay until May 23rd?

I heard from someone that in period of 6 months I can be maximum 90 days on this free visa
