Good work bro. Now that you know exactly what is needed the extensions will be a breeze for you. I'm sure you will get a million comments from Gumps saying you should have done a border run and sat in planes and airports all day 😉

I used Phuket King Muay Thai.

They are easy to communicate with and they supply the documents within a few hours after payment. Their DTV document package is very good.

hey mate what's the issue with the extension? I've seen a list of the requirements and it looks easy, almost the same as the original application.

I don't understand how the 500k thing is some big problem for people. It's only 500k, I would think most people that travel would have at least 500k in a bank to get by. Or is the issue they want the money in a Thai bank, is it something silly like that?

Does immigration dislike the DTV and are just denying people the extension for no real reason?

If you have the visa I think you need to use it and that means your passport needs at least 6 months left on it.

If you enter on a visa exempt 60 day stamp then you don't need to have 6 months left on your passport. Thailand doesn't have that 6 month passport rule like other countries. You only need to have enough time left on the passport for what you are stamped in on

there are many companies that advertise 'fast track' or 'green corridor'. You pay between 4000-5000 baht to one of the companies a few days before you are flying in. You send them a picture of your passport. They send it to immigration officer and he gives the all clear. Then when you arrive you will be taken over and stamped in with no issues. It works fine, I know many people who have used that service

I think Crossfit might work. I know Phuket Beach Volleyball Club has real training packages for the DTV and it works. Crossfit is an actual sport. For a gym to call themselves a Crossfit gym or use the word Crossfit in their gym name they need to be registered with the worldwide governing body of Crossfit. If the gym in Thailand is a real accredited Crossfit gym then I think it could be used for the DTV in the same way beach volleyball is used cause it's a sport.

The DTV does state sports training as one of the options.

I think most people don't realise that Crossfit is an actual sport and just think of it as a normal gym

@Henrik ****
