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.

Some people print and laminate the pdf file. I’ve seen posts from people with a full A4 print or ones printed passport size and laminated.

It’s not technically necessary to have a printed version as the IO should be able to see on their system that you have a DTV but it just is a help to show you have one to get the right stamp.

ALWAYS check the stamp they give you. Mistakes happen, but the onus is on you to check.

This seems to be office specific. Some allow the bank letter to be up to 7 days prior - but the bank book update to be that day.
