There’s a shed load of paperwork required. You will also need to show the 500k banked.

There have been some successful extensions but most bounce for another 180 days.

No you won’t need to report as your conversion date was regarded as a report.

You won’t need to report until you start your yearly extensions after May 25th

They’ll usually put a small piece of paper in your passport to tell you what date to report.

Hopefully someone will be able to help specifically for that office.

In the meantime here’s a link for the Phuket office.

May not be identical but it’ll give you the basics of what’s needed.

There has been a couple of posts of people being questioned about why they got their DTV in xyz country and not their home country but I don’t believe there has been any mention of actual denials.

You can’t renew a tourist visa. With one you’d get 60 days on entry.

Most nationalities can extend that once for 30 days.

I suspect you may be referring to border bounces where you briefly leave Thailand and return for a fresh entry stamp.

If so the answer is that there is no official limit. It’s up to the immigration officer to decide if they will let you in.

They are getting tougher on these so if your relative wants to do this then probably best to use an experienced border bounce company as they generally ensure you can get back in.

Yes you can change the arrival date once you have the visa.

From Germany (as in a Non B for Thailand) or for working in Germany? If the latter then probably out of the scope of this group to advise.

It’s the date of your last entry in to Thailand. If that was in November’23 then put that date. If you’ve since been out and returned then put the date you last entered.

Completely office dependent. Some don’t require if returning to your main residence.

Some require if returning from overseas.

Some require it if returning from a stay in country at a hotel or hospital.

That’s going to be up to the embassy/consulate that your application was routed to.

Which one did you apply at and for what type of visa ?
