Hello! We are on our first 20 days of a 60 day tourist visa. We would like to extend it a further 30 days and were wondering which would be the best way:

1. Do it now, while in a vacation rental in Ao Nang, as we leave in 2 weeks for a friend’s empty house in Pattaya.

2. It is fine to wait until Pattaya, staying at a friend’s place versus a rental will not matter much.

3. Just do a visa run instead since it is our first time in Thailand and unlikely to get denied for a single run.

Thanks for any input!

I need a extended 30 day visa my 60 day runs out 18th May but going home 25th May anybody recommend a agency please thank you all sorted now

Today went for my extension and got

Thai wife extension under investigation stamped.

Must come back on 16 may, we are married since feb 2011 and my wife stayed with me for many years in Germany.

What can I expect from immigration?

Thx

The 800,000THB

In the account three months before application

Can then use 400,000THB

And restore to 800,000THB two months before renewal?

Pretty sure I’m right, just need confirmation please

Hello,

For DTV extension in government complex, which documents are required and what questions do they ask?

Had 4 days in kuala lumpur, flew back into phuket for a few days before going back to pattaya, no problem getting another 180 days, booyaa!

hi : )

I wanted to do my 30-day visa extension in Nonthaburi because the immigration office in Bangkok was too crowded.

However, in Nonthaburi they require a TM.30 form.

Is it possible to have an address in Bangkok but apply for the visa extension in Nonthaburi?

In Bangkok, they never asked for a TM.30.

Part 3/3—

DTV Extension SUCCESS at Old Town Phuket for myself and my wife (Remote Worker / Digital Nomad)

First, a Note (for the 100th time)—— there's literally no need to tell me "it would've been easier if you would've just boarded an airplane." Busy family of 5 with three young kids— it would've been more expensive, more chaotic, and potentially more risky in our case. PLUS— I care about other people having access to this process. I'm happy to do it for science so people can have a little more clarity.

if you're somehow disgruntled about my doing this extension in this way, then why are you even in the group?

Timeline—

1st Day— Went to Immigration at Old Town Phuket. See previous posts about what I brought. Went through two or three rounds of varying degrees of checks. The Immigration officer was actually very kind, and let us know we needed: a *bank statement* for the *current* month. We also needed a *more recent* remote work authorization letter than the one I originally applied for the DTV with (Even though it's my own company— me authorizing myself).

2nd Day— Waited for my bank to auto-generate a bank statement for Feb-March (brought Jan-Feb, too). Wrote myself a new auth letter. Brought it all in. Waited my turn (very quick), the officer remembered us, quckly flipped through the documents and asked: "These are the new ones, right?" (he remembered us). Took our passports, docs, and money (1900THB each) gave us a little slip of paper telling us to pick up our passports on Friday (submitted on Monday).

3rd Day — Brough paper straight to Desk 5, they brought our passports out with a receipt and an extension stamp. Did our second 90-day check-in on the spot.

Tips / Takeaways :

- We were a primary holder + 1 follower. We have a shared bank account that has at 500,000 THB in it, but not much more than that. Our statements did not show that amount going below 500k at any point. There didn't seem to be concern about needing 500k per person.

- We kept all of our documents in order from the time we initially applied for the visa in Jakarta, Indonesia. This made it very easy to apply for an extension. All I had to change were the bank statements and authorization letter.

- Applying for an extension in Phuket took longer than applying for the visa in Jakarta. We submitted the application on Monday, picked up Friday (submitted on Monday, picked up Wednesday in Jakarta).

- The officers and staff, while they didn't talk much (likely because they're very busy), were very helpful and kind. Any anxiety and pressure I felt was put on myself, and never came from the staff or officers.

10/10 would do it again (but can't)

When I go to the bank for six months of transactions, I have to get another one from the bank is it a guarantee the money is still in the account, or is it something else to get?????

Hi, I’m coming to Thailand for more than 30 days and intending to get an extension while I’m here , on the Visa form shall I put the 30 days or put the 45 days I intend to stay even though I haven’t got approval to extend yet. Thanks for any help.
