DTV Extension Requirements

[Briggsy]

At first glance, the requirements for extending at Immigration look very similar to the initial application process.

 

In a perfect world, one could simply resubmit all the documents that were used to obtain the original visa BUT.....

 

i) the time has moved on anything up to 5 years so the documents could be deemed 'out of date'.

ii) the scrutinising authority is Immigration rather than an embassy so a very different take on what is acceptable or not could be applied.

iii) as this is being done at Immigration, one would expect everything will have to be in paper format rather than online.

 

It can all theoretically be avoided by leaving the country before the 180-day permission to stay expires.

Good luck on getting up-to-date paper copies of some documents once in Thailand.

Just so everyone understands that is a mistake where it says 5000,000 baht for the financials (as in it's NOT 5 million baht) it's only 500K baht 😛
