I guess they’ve based it on the fact that if you were able to get 5x 30 day extensions off of a visa exempt entry (back then they were 30 days on entry) the cost of each extension would (almost) add up to the 10,000 baht fee.

I personally can’t see many applying when they can bounce out and back for another 180 days for much cheaper than that.

Nope an extension of stay would be for a further 180 days. Once per entry is allowed.

10,000 baht

@Todd ********

The YouTube video of the guy from the MFA spouting the rules of the DTV stirred up the pot. He claimed there would be no requirement for filing of 90 days and extensions would be 1,900 baht.

@Bhavin *********

Nope only if you stay in the country for 90 consecutive days. The 90 day clock resets back to day 1 when you return.

Immigration.

@Paul ******

At the immigration office or online here.

@Paul ******

TM47 is the form you use to file your 90 day report. It is completely separate to the TM30 form.

@Alex ********

With a superior at Immigration

Yep. Not everything seen on YouTube is real you know….
