Thanks for this.

Confirmation it's a waste of time and bureaucracy is same as always.

Went to Jomtien Immigration to extend my DTV. Had all the documents that was required based on the sheet of listed documents the front ladies gave me a month ago. Front desk ladies checked my documents. All was ok. She said that she would take me to the Desk 1 where they will check it again, but sometimes they require more documents and doing a border bounce is better. Went to Desk 1, they checked the documents. They weren't happy with the documents submitted. Wanted to have a company stamp on my work contract & position profile, even though there's no such thing for my company. They said it's needed. They also asked where is the office of my company. Since the company is based from home with no office, and also no international offices, an extension can't be done. Also they asked for the website of my company, which there is none. Seems you must work for an international company with many international locations and have a website to get an extension. They said I should border bounce as most applicants can't get extensions. What a waste of time.

Seems to me that all they are asking for is proof of a legitimate company, no stamp, no website, no office, no nothing, I'm with the immigration official on this smells a bit dodgy
