Hi, my lease will expire while I'm back in my home country (planned) and I was planning on booking a hotel upon my return while I look at some new long-term rentals. Has anybody been returning on their DTV and had any issues when they didn't have long-term accommodations? Typically for a tourist visa they don't require long-term but I wasn't sure if any of the airport immigration checkpoints were treating it differently.

Thanks
Answer summary
The post inquiries about returning to Thailand on a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) while only having short-term hotel accommodations booked, as the user will not have long-term housing immediately upon their return. Community feedback indicates that there are typically no issues with airport immigration regarding the lack of long-term accommodations, as presenting a hotel booking should suffice.

There should be no requirements for you to have long term accommodation upon arrival. If they ask, just give them your hotel, and that should be it.
