ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone,

In the past, many people with extensive visas, or visa runs, extensions,  etc. were sometimes given a hard time trying to enter the country at some airports.

Reading through the posts it seems all are getting through now without any issues when a DTV is obtained.

Have there been any reports of immigration officers at airports giving people a hard time during entry with a DTV if they had a prior extensive entry history?

Also, is it necessary to carry in 10,000 baht (or more) or the equivalent while going back to Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary

There have been concerns about potential difficulties for travelers with extensive visa histories—such as frequent visa runs or extensions—when entering Thailand with a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). However, recent posts indicate that most travelers are now able to enter without significant issues if they possess a DTV. Some comments mention isolated cases where immigration officers scrutinized entry based on prior behavior or unpaid taxes, suggesting that the experience may vary depending on the discretion of individual officers.

I've seen some French folk tax evasion refusing to give them entry. Sounded suspicious like.

Seeing as people were given trouble for misusing / abusing tourists visas I see no reason why DTV holders would have an issue asssuming they are using it legitimately.
