Not sure if this has been covered so I will ask… then wait for the barrage of contempt 😂😂

Has anyone extended their 6 month stay inside of Thailand rather than exit & re-enter?

Just wondering how difficult it was and whether the immigration office has the know with all to manage the extension internally.

TIA

I’ve been told you need to have proof the required 500,000 baht has been in your bank account continuously for 28 days prior to your application. Has anyone had to provide this?

Or does it have to be from a brick-and-mortar traditional bank like Bank of China, Bank of America etc?

I hear from different sources different information on the visa regulations for kids in Thailand.

Any experiences on kids under 3? Is it necessary to apply for a dtv visa for my 1,5 year old or not? Thanks for sharing experiences! 🙏🙏

EDIT: My wife and I are retiring together. We are both US citizens. We are both over 50. She is a veteran. She has enough income, mine is a little shy on the monthly amount required. We plan to apply individually.

When your comments mention that rules can depend on the immigration office, are you referring to offices inside Thailand or one of the 5 Thailand Embassies in the US? Thank you all for your valuable input and feedback. 🎉💛

My passport will expire in 2027 and May I know DTV visa can still valid with new passport number for rest 3 years. Thank you 🙏🏻.

Was anyone denied entry on DTV after extensive border run history (more than 5 in a row) ?

In a recent post, people say that DTV holders need immigration permision for to travel to other provinces. Can some expert explain that? Thanks.

I have the DTV, and now want the foreigner ID card. Google tells me I need to have a permanent place of residence in order to apply, but I don't yet have that as im just in a 3 months rental at the moment. Does this rule me out from getting the ID?

Hi guys, question, If my stamp expire.. let's say on the 15th, and my flight is on the 16th at 1 am, am i considered overstaying even if i cross the immigration desk on the 15th? Thanks (i guess yes but hoping to be wrong ;)
