Thai E–Visa applicants don't pay to any agent, they pay cash in-person at the Thai Embassy/Consulate in Laos to the Thai Consular Official/Employee....

No, don't bother going to a Thai Embassy or Thai Consulate for a Thai Visa Sticker....

All Thai Embassies and Thai Consulates only issue Thai E–Visa's as a PDF file now

@Tene *****************

the Thai Embassy and Thai Consulates in America all ask for proof of current location (e.g. Driver License, State ID Card, utility bills, housing lease agreement, hotel booking, etc.), so a better query would be to ask about a specific Thai Embassy/Consulate and which DTV pathway (Workcation/Remote Worker/Digital Nomad or Thai Soft Power)....

Thanks! Since DTV and ED Plus Extensions are Exempt from Re-Entry Permits, didn't quite fully understand how a DTV Extension fits together with a 5-Year Multiple Entry Visa....

@Dany *******

Congratulations on your DTV Extension and Thank You Very Much for your report about successfully obtaining an Extension!

If you would be so kind, then please do update us whenever you exit and re-enter Thailand again within the next 6 months as curious to see how many days the Thai Immigration Officer will stamp you in for (a new 180 days or up until the end of this DTV Extension)....

@Shandy *******

Any Thai Immigration Office, Officer does have discretion to ask for evidence/documentation in order to approve any (Extension) application in front of them....

@Ivan ******

Well, even before the current ผ.60-ม.17 60-day Visa Exemption with the former ผ.30 30-day Visa Exemption, certain nationalities (e.g. India) were unable to obtain a 30-day Tourist Extension at any Thai Immigration Office; or, some Thai Immigration Offices just refuse to give a 30-day Tourist Extension as each of the individual local (nearly 80) Thai Immigration Offices across Thailand do have individual discretion for additional requirements or operating policies besides central-level policies....

in your particular circumstances, it is a possibility that this particular Thai Immigration Office:

either wants you to obtain a 1-Year Extension based on having a Thai Wife or 60-day Extension based on Visiting Thai Family, both of which do have additional requirements (e.g. minimum proof of funds) beyond those for a 30-Day Tourist Extension

As you have already made entry on a 60-Day Visa Exemption for Tourists, but this Thai Immigration Office may determine that your purpose of stay is not tourism and not want to issue an Extension for Tourists, but more open to issuing an Extension for someone with a Thai Wife.....

@Ivan ******

Good question!

As this is the same ผ.60-ม.17 Visa Exemption as the other 93 countries, but let's see what others have to say about India passports getting the 30 day extension at the various local Thai Immigration Offices....

that is up to the specific Thai Embassy/Consulate and what they require
