TLDR : Answer Summary
To renew the DTV Visa, you must maintain the initial requirements, including proving you have 500,000 THB in your bank account. This rule applies for the extension process, as stated by fellow expats who mentioned that showing proof of funds is necessary. Many choose to exit and re-enter Thailand to reset their 180-day visa period.

If you mean "Extension" in country then yes. You have to show qualification for visa as original application. Most people seem to be doing a visa run by land or air to avoid this and entering with a new 180 day stamp.
