Hi guys. I am a Brit with a British passport. I successfully obtained the DTV via the London embassy last year, and then entered Thailand shortly after, getting the 180 day stamp at BKK, as expected. I stayed for 3 months then exited the country. All good.
I was issued the DTV as I was directly employed by a UK company that permitted me to work internationally remote. I provided a copy of my full employment contract and a brief cover letter from my boss.
But, I'm no longer employed by said company. I'm unemployed. But I am in sound financial standing and am considering returning to Thailand soon.
Obviously I still have the DTV as it's valid for 5 years.
Am I 'safe' to enter, even tho I'm no longer employed?
I know they ask for all the docs again when extending, but does anyone who's re-entered on the DTV lately know if they're asking for anything at immigration?
I am super conscious of not breaking any laws/rules. I always wondered how they would know someone reentering on the DTV is still eligible under the original conditions in which they applied. 5 years is a long time and inevitably circumstances change.
Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, a British citizen with a DTV visa, is concerned about re-entering Thailand after becoming unemployed. Fellow users provided reassurance, suggesting that there are currently no extensive checks at immigration regarding employment status when re-entering with a DTV. They noted that while checks exist for visa extensions, re-entry has been broadly unaffected so far. Thus, the user is likely safe to re-enter Thailand without issues.
