Hello everybody, I will need to extend my stay with the DTV for another 6 months at the end of this month. I understand I can either go to the immigration office and pay the fee, or I can also exit the country and come back again

Any suggestions on which of these two options is recommended?

Hello. I wanted to ask about extending a DTV visa.

I understood that you need to present ALL the documents that were initially presented when first got the visa,

only now the updated ones. So I wanted to ask:

1. Do you need to bring everything printed there (pay slips, bank balance, employment letter from the employer, etc.) including the translation of the documents into Thai ?!

It's at least 40 pages for me...

2. Some people said that you most present them a place of permanent residence or a house contract ?!

I travel and move from place to place, can I present just the TM30 from the hotel where I am staying at the time ?

3. When is the optimal time to do the extension ? 1 week before DTV expires, ok ?

Thank you all, have a nice day !

Hi all, is anyone aware if you can book your DTV visa extension appointment online?

Immigration's online booking system doesn't have an option for "DTV visa extension".

Is it wise to book a "Tourist Visa (TR) Extension" or another category, or do DTV holders have to go to Immigration without a booking?

Has anyone recently tried to extend their DTV visa at the immigration office in Phuket?

I'm assuming the same documents are required as during the initial application.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

how is extention of DTV visa after your first 6 months in the country? I've heard they make it hard on you, better leave Thailand and come back a few days later. What's the current status on this? Thanks 🙏

I'm a bit confused. After reporting to immigration at 90 days, they told me that at 180 days, I would only need to report online, without leaving Thailand.

Has anyone who has already reached 180 days experienced this?

Is it really possible that you don't need to exit after 180 days and only need to report online?

Thanks!

Looking for recommendations for extending my DTV.

I’m based in Chiang Mai, from what I’m seeing here it seems as if it’s easier to exit the country and come back rather than extending at immigration.

Has anyone done a same day border run from Chiang Mai?

I do also own my own motorbike so that is an option for me (have a 2 year thai license), just not sure it would be all that comfortable

Can you use Revolut or WISE account statment as evidence of the 500k?

I first entered Thailand in September, completed my 90-day reporting, and left for Kuala Lumpur before reaching the 180-day limit. After spending two days there, I returned and landed at DMK today..immigration was smooth with no questions asked. My DTV has now been stamped for another 180 days.

Hello and good morning.

As 6 month have pass for first extension of DTV visas I would like to know

1. Which documents is the immigration offices are asking?

2. Are the same documents in all immigration offices? I will do the extension in Ko Samui next week, does someone have an experience in this offices and want to share it?

3. Finally, Is there a period of time (one week early or after) that I have to or need to apply for extension? (my 180 day will be on April 03)

Thank you very much
