Fees, Extensions & Overstay
The base government fee is around 10,000 THB (~$280 USD), but the amount charged varies by embassy — some charge 10,000–14,000 THB equivalent, and a few (like New Zealand) charge significantly more.
Each entry allows up to 180 days, extendable to 360 days without leaving Thailand. The visa itself is valid for 5 years with unlimited re-entries within that window.
Visit the immigration office before your current stay expires, bring the required supporting documents (including financial proof), and pay the extension fee (around 1,900 THB).
You'll be overstaying. Fines are 500 THB per day, capped at 20,000 THB (40 days). Beyond that, overstays result in entry bans: 1 year for 90+ days overstayed, 3 years for 1+ year, 5 years for 3+ years, and 10 years for 5+ years.
Yes, the 90-day report is required for DTV holders just like other long-stay visas. This can often be completed online after your first in-person report at your local immigration office.
As of late 2025, repeated visa-exempt entries — especially via land borders — are limited to around two per calendar year, as immigration cracks down on border run patterns. If you're a frequent visitor, a proper visa like the DTV avoids this issue entirely.
