Regardless of whether your IO renew your 90 day report from a new extension or not, your next due report date will be stamped on your previous TM47 receipt, which should be stapled in the back of your passport. Supporting documents for application submitted in person 1. Passport 2. Departure TM.6 card (TM.6) See sample TM.6 card 3.

As an aside to the above, Jack. Around 12 years ago after apply for a further 1 year extension, my current extension expired, and I was in the 30 day under consideration period when I was notified of a family bereavement. I informed my IO and purchased a re-entry permit to cover the 30 day under consideration period. They stated provided I returned by the expiry date of the 30 day period it was fine. I returned two day prior to that 30 day expiry date, which raised some eyebrows on re-entry, the entry clearance officer calling over a supervisor who looked at my extension stamp, the under consideration stamp and the re-entry permitted. The supervisor did ask if I preferred a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp, which I declined, shrugged and muttered something to the officer who duly stamped me in for 2 days. The following day I visited my local IO, filed a new TM30 and received my new extension stamp. The IO stated it was approved a week previously, but they were expecting me.

That's correct, in theory, a representative can attend on your behalf, but they would of course require your passport. Same as, a representative can submit your 90 day report in person, or even submit an extension application in the event the applicant is handicapped or has disabilities. That said, if you're travelling and staying in different Provinces, then you should be carrying your passport. I don't think there is one answer fits all scenarios in this case as there as so many variables. Provided you return by the under consideration period date given, then you can't be on overstay, but if you couldn't return until a later date then technically you would be on overstay. I always apply 30-45 days before my extension expires. My IO always date the under consideration period 30 days from the expiry date of my current extension. They always call when the new extension application is approved, which is usually somewhere between the date my previous extension expired and the 30 day under consideration period, although it was once approved before my current extension had expired. If you were planning to travel locally during the under consideration period then my advice would be to notify your IO of those dates, and provided you return by the end of the 30 day under consideration period it shouldn't be an issue.

Usually 14 days. So why didn't you go back for the 1 year stamp? As per @DrJack54 reply - you can go alone for the stamp. Same after the 30 day under consideration period for the 1 year extension stamp based on Thai spouse - you can go alone.

As opposed to only 2% in Thailand. Now, just remind me how much the agent fees are for your annual extension because you don't keep sufficient funds in Thailand to meet the criteria.

There is no basis for that statement. There are many expats who stayed in Thailand for almost 17 months, with only 3 border runs and 3 x 60 day extensions, before renewing their visa. I suspect if anyone was refused a 60-day extension, it was for a genuine reason. No different from the METV, where each 60 day entry can be extended for a further 30 days.

Just to add to that good advice, you couldn't apply for an extension based on retirement or Thai spouse from a DTV. You'd have to start afresh, obtaining the Non Imm O visa first.

The 179 days + 180 is an extension.

Just border runs every 180 days for a new 180 day entry. Of course, I would assume you will have to provide evidence on each entry of the reason. For digital nomads/remote workers I would imagine the same portfolio as used for the initial DTV. For the softer options, a letter of appointment or booking for a class.

Agree. It's a new class of visa just the same as the LTR visa is. Nowhere in the list of eligible foreigners for the DTV is the word 'tourist' mentioned.

If you'd done your research beforehand, you'd note the British Embassy quote fees in pounds. Payments are via UK debit/credit cards, or cash THB using their exchange rates of 45.5 baht to £1.

Well, I can certainly log in and complete the online form.
