Can I activate my DTV visa by exiting and re-entering Thailand after arriving on a visa-exempt entry?

The discussion revolves around whether an individual who entered Thailand on a visa-exempt status can activate their DTV visa by leaving and re-entering the country after the visa is approved. One commenter suggests it's possible if you have the confirmation email and QR code, recommending a short trip for activation. However, another comment points out potential issues that could arise and suggests that proper planning could avoid additional travel expenses.
