Yes the online information says it CAN be done, but immigration will pull every trick out of the hat to make it as difficult as possible to do so. They don’t want you to do it. They want you to bounce.

As I said some have managed it but I would hazard a guess that out of those that have most won’t bother again.

In most instances you don’t go to embassy at all, unless it’s for an asked for appointment.

A couple of embassies in Asia you do go to pay after submission but most are pay by credit card through the system.

It’s well known that immigration don’t want DTV holders to extend.

Although some have managed the vast majority just bounce for another 180 day stamp.

Easy to do. Fill in a form TM47, copy passport, entry stamp and print DTV. Ensure you have an up to date TM30 filed by your landlord.

For most embassies a 6 month course would suffice.

It’s 500k baht or equivalent. Doesn’t have to be Thai baht.

Are you applying in country for a visa? If so what immigration office?

It needs to be “cash” in a bank account. If applying overseas then can be any bank and the equivalent of 800k.

If applying in country it needs to be in a thai bank in your name only for 2 months prior to application

Send to a friend. Have them activate it there then send on to you.

Are you meaning applying for one outside of Thailand using the evisa system or applying for an in country one at a local immigration office?

Either way specify the embassy you’d be using or the local immigration office and others with direct experience may be able to help.

Also state the reason for the Non O. Marriage, over 50, Thai child etc.

@Roger *******

Not really sure what you’re asking here. If you have an extension of stay based on a particular reason and that reason finishes then the extension of stay finishes that day. Marriage, Work, etc.

The only difference is that if it’s based on marriage and the spouse dies then you can stay until your extension finishes. You’d then either need to leave or switch to another reason for an extension.
