You said "first one since extension"

Maybe because it was not your first report since entry 😉

Why go to the airport if you can pay the fine and exit at a land border?

Also, the possibility to avoid blacklisting may be negotiated 😉

Terrible idea. He will be arrested on the spot.

I saw reports saying that I takes 5 hours at CW, without an appointment

How long did you have to wait there? 5 hours?

Exactly! The DTV visa is the kind of proper visa we all "permanent tourists" have been waiting for.

People with tourist visas actually get denied entry sometimes for "staying in Thailand too much". But not with a DTV visa, as it is a proper visa to stay in Thailand long time.

So many people already exited and re-entered multiple times on a DTV visa, no problems reported

Actually I asked about an extension just because I was there for a 90 day report.

I have 3 more months left.

Is it possible to get a queue number online for Pattaya immigration? How do I do that?

Just sharing my experience so far and will be happy to learn about others' experiences

I went to immigration in Jomtien to ask about a DTV visa extension. From what I can tell, they were not super happy about it. One nasty lady at the information desk outright lied to me that they don't do DTV extensions and I need to exit and reenter. Of course, I didn't buy this BS and went to ask the information desk "boss" (the older lady sitting on the left). After a few shouts between them she told me that I can extend it but need to come within the last month of the current 6 month stamp.
