Anyone had any problems getting in to Thailand on visa exemption (many) while awaiting DTV is processing?
Answer summary
Traveling to Thailand on a visa exemption while your Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) application is being processed is highly discouraged. Comments emphasize that doing so could lead to rejection of your application, as authorities require you to remain in the location where you submitted your DTV application. It's advised to wait until the visa process is complete before attempting to enter Thailand to avoid complications.

Don't do it. Stay in the location you applied for the DTV until the process completes or you risk your application being rejected. The consulate can ask for proof of location, copies of every page in your passport, or even call you in for interview. Often they do this as a final check before issuing the visa

Your application can be rejected or cancelled - you are not allowed to travel to Thailand during the application process.
