DTV EXTENSION IN PATTAYA

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here extended their DTV visa at Pattaya Immigration after the first 6 months? I really don’t want to do a border run — I’m on the freelance DTV and can prove everything.

• What documents you needed for the extension —

are they the same ones as for the initial application, or are there additional ones required?

• For example, do I need to show:

– proof of invoices / work done for clients?

– proof of 500,000 THB in savings?

– anything else like rental contract, tax docs, bank statements, letter of explanation?

• Was the process difficult or straightforward?

Thank you guys

Hello.

I'm on a non-B multiple entry visa.

My 90 days stamp expires on the 26th May, but I fly out of Bangkok for a holiday on the 2nd June.

I would rather not have to go do a border run to Malaysia if possible.

I heard that I can get a kind of 7 days extension if I go to an immigration office.

Is that right?

Thank you!
