I came to extend my DTV visa to another 180 days (ko samui). Because of the high season and because i have a dog (super hard to find accommodation with a dog), i moved a lot and only recently found a more permanent home. Anyway, apparently, one of the ridiculous requirements for extending, is that you need to be 3 months at the same home when you are applying... Considering this visa was designed for digital NOMADS, this is an incredibly stupid rule. I have all requirements for the extension beside that stupid thing, I'm in samui so the flight is relatively long and expensive, I would prefer to save the time, energy and money that will be spent on it without any reason whatsoever, but whatever. Heads up to all nomads on dtv out there that move a lot.

We’re looking to set up a business in Ko Samui or Phuket

Also

I will need help with visas for 2 families. One family is mine( a family of 4) and the second family is my business partner also a family of 4.

Again we’re all American citizens

Thank you

Does anyone with experience of extending a 30/45 day visa exemption stamp know whether it’s easier/quicker to do it in Bangkok or Ko Samui?

Does it matter when during the initial period you get the extension? Do they add the 30 days to the original validity date or from the date of the extension application?

I am trying to decide between Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan for a month's stay. Does Ko Samui have a better nightlife scene overall? Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there! I'm on Ko Samui right now under visa exemption stamp until 29 January.

I would like to extend my stay to 60 days by "COVID extension stamp".

1. What a correct reason should i fill in the immigration office form to get 60 days extension?

2. What additional documents may be required?

Thanks.

Current process for traveling from Bangkok to Surat Thani/Ko Samui for a Thai citizen? Alternatively, are there other places that are simpler to get to? Mountains/beach/other cities (other than Pattaya or Hua Hin).
