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

Went to two different Immigration offices in Phuket this week hoping to get some information about renewing in-country. Neither of them had any idea about cost or requirements 🙃.

Edit: *big apology to the semantic sticklers*

I (obviously) meant "extension" not "renewal." Yes words have meanings. They also get jumbled around in my brain and probably shouldn't make you so frustrated.
