@James *******

that’s exactly what i said… but this other dude here claims that the extension is easier :D

@Qin ******

every 180 days… i was just there to do my 90d report and asked them what they need in another 90 days for the extension

@Laura **********

all „longterm“ visa holders have to report to immigration every 90 days… so for DTV that would be at the 90 and 270 day mark of your DTV if you extended after 180 days. its the same for retirement visa for example. all have to do this. if you stay multiple years you can even do it online but i guess for DTV that would only be the case for the report on day 270. people say you could skip it if you leave within 180 days anyway. not sure and maybe a small fine.

again you are talking about YOUR individual situation… if i need to translate and notarize all my documents then that would be a huge pain in the a.… if people need to book another MT or cooking class then thats also a problem for them. there is so many factors for each individual that you cannot generalize and say „its easy“ when its not for many people…. some

people might not have the money in their bank all the time… why would i want to have 10k€ sitting in my bank getting eaten by inflation?? some people even used agents for their dtv and will have to use them again for this which is crazily expensive. as you can see, its not black and white.

a payslip isn’t sufficient financial proof. you need to show the 500k baht or equivalent. some embassies even required 6 months of bank statements. so you might even need that. work contract wasnt sufficient for me. i had to provide a „certificate of employment“ which stated that i work for the company and remote work. they could ask for an up to date document. not sure why you are discussing at all. its different for everyone as people have totaly different situations and documents. even the IO recommended border runs. but you do you. just stop generalizing things as this is highly individual

@Luit ****************

what are we even discussing about? go for your visa extension if thats easier and cheaper for you. for me it isnt. i would need all my documents translated. and then it still needs approval from the IO. most people will just do a border run as you dont need to proof everything again.

@Luit ****************

they did not say „only financial proof“. its just the most important thing they said. but they also said: all documents you provided for the initial application in english or thai language… and showing your bank balance in an app has never been stated that that is sufficient. most likely not. just get a print out.

i mean its still all fairly vague as you might have to proof again that you are employed by a company with a NEW letter or a NEW proof for another muay thai or cooking class. not sure about that.

@Marta ************

you need your passport… but i also had my rental contract with me which i showed them… a TM30 would also be okay i guess. but it should all be in their system anyway if your landlord did the tm30 correctly. it can vary from province to province, office to office. maybe its best to search for reviews about 90d reports in other forums about that specific office you are going to. could even send a mail to the office.

krabi to kuala lumpur is just 2500 baht return with AirAsia. Its really cheap.
