Already in Thailand
Already in Thailand? Stay legal.
Three rules decide what you can do from inside Thailand. A DTV cannot be applied for or issued in the country: it is filed online with a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate abroad. A DTV entry of 180 days can be extended once, by up to 180 days, at a Thai immigration office. And from 15 September 2026 the visa exemption for eligible nationalities is up to 30 days, for tourism.
You can do all of this yourself. Extensions of stay are filed at your local Thai immigration office, normally in person, and the DTV is filed at thaievisa.go.th. Government fees are paid directly to the authority, never to us. Siam DTV is an independent private consultancy, not affiliated with the Thai government, an embassy or Thai Immigration, and we do not file extensions of stay or visa changes.

Already in Thailand? How to Get a DTV in 2026

Filing a DTV from outside Thailand?
If you are going to file through the Thai embassy or consulate in the country where you are a national or permanent resident, our DTV File Review reads the file you assembled and tells you in writing, within 24 hours of your upload, what will not pass. ฿2,999, credited in full if you later choose a package.
How the DTV File Review worksWhen you need a lawyer, not us
An overstay, an arrest, a court case or a blacklist question is a legal matter. Speak to a licensed Thai lawyer. We do not take these cases and cannot represent you before Thai Immigration or a court, and no one can promise to have a ban lifted.
A question the guides do not answer?
Tell us where you are and what your passport says. We will tell you honestly whether we can help, or who can.
