Hi everyone!

I know it’s much easier to just do a border bounce, but does anyone know the current requirements for extending the DTV visa in Koh Phangan, Koh Samui or Surat Thani?

I’m traveling with my infant and feeling too lazy to go abroad right now, so I’d love to try the extension route first if possible.

Has anyone successfully done it recently? Any tips or updates would be super appreciated!

Hello hello

I want to apply for a dtv visa

The situation is: I live in the district of Surat Thani and have currently a business visa & work permit

My idea is to change it to a dtv visa this month (business visa comes to an end) and I got all the needed documents to apply for the new visa

My questions:

1: I have a work contract as a freelancer - which is kind of a contradiction. So did anyone apply for this visa with a freelance work contract already?

2: I want to apply in Malaysia for the visa, how long does the process usually take - did anyone apply in Malaysia in the last 2-3 months in Penang or Kota Baru?

3: is it in theorie possible to apply first in Thailand and only if the visa is granted to leave the country

4: is it a very different process and really recommend to get help for a visa agency?

Thanks in advance 🤟🙏

Hi all, currently on a 30 day visa exception and looking to extend to 60 days in Surat Thani. Does anyone know if the date extends from when it is due to expire (6th March) or will they renew from the date you go there and you risk losing days?

Has anyone successfully applied for a 90 day Non-O (retirement) visa at Surat Thani immigration?

If so when did you do it and what was the list of requirements?

Could anyone recommend a good reliable Visa agency either in Koh Samui or Surrattani please. I need to get my mom a retirement Visa.

Is it a good idea getting the Visa in these places? or is it better to do it in other places like bangkok? Thanks

Hi, we were in koh tao and collected the forms for an extension on our 45 day visa waiver, which we have delayed doing, but have not overstayed, they did want the tm30 filled in by our hotel.

We are now on samui and the hotel has agreed to do the tm30 forms for us but we will be applying for our extension in Surat Thani. It’s the same province will this be ok or do we need our accommodation In Surat thani to give us the forms?

Also, does it need to be blue ink 🤔

Thank you

Hi Guys, looked through all Q&A & advice appreciated please:

My mate has been in Thailand for 1 year on Covid extensions. We are surat Thani.

1. Can he border bounce on a motorbike to Malaysia (best crossing town also appreciated?) returning with visa exempt?

2. Should he do a visa run to Penang / KL to buy 60 day TR? Italian passport. Cheers!
