Your embassy knows. Check their website

You put the arrival flight for Thailand. The last segment that actually lands in Thailand.

For departure, leave it blank, it's not required. But if you accidentally touch any of the fields, it will all become mandatory to fill out.

Which immigration officer? The one at your local office that you would be doing the extension with?

@Wayne ********
Are you actually planning on going for the 2nd 5 year? I read a report from someone who went to immigration with everything that should be required, including the 3 million in a Thai bank account, and they were flat out refused by immigration and told it's not possible.

I believe Tod Daniels said most people abandon the 2nd 5 years and go and get a new non-OX visa.

I'm fairly certain you don't have to check-in at one year.
@Wayne ********
I think you were someone who used to have an OX right? I might be remembering wrong though

Nothing about the DTV has an 80,000 number. And DTV does not require any income, it requires showing a sufficient bank balance.

It's the LTR visa that often has an income requirement of $80,000 for some categories.

you don't need to be in your home country. You just cannot be in Thailand. And the bank account used can be from anywhere, even a Thai bank account.

If you leave with a re-entry permit, you can be gone for any amount of time as long as you're back in time to apply for your next extension.

You cannot "convert" to a DTV. Tourist visas are only issued by Thai embassies outside of Thailand. It wouldn't make sense to be able to get a tourist visa to a country while you're already there.

Did you actually come here on a TOURIST VISA, like your post says? A tourist visa is something you would have had to apply for and pay for through the Thai e-visa system before you traveled to Thailand. If you actually have a tourist visa, then you go to Chaeng Watthana.

If you arrived without any visa at all, and you entered visa exempt (free 60-day entry stamp) then you would go to IT Square Laksi.
