TLDR : Answer Summary

The local immigration offices in Thailand generally have access to the conditions under which a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) was approved. When you visit for extensions or other inquiries, they may check the purpose stated in your original application. It's noted that newer DTVs include information about the approval conditions on the visa document itself. When applying for extensions, you will also need to specify the reason for your extension on the TM7 form.

The new DTVs even have it on the paper. False assumptions to say the information of an Evisa aren't and/or will never be available to immigration; that's their job to check the purposes of your visa!

If you've done any form of extension in Thailand before you would know you have to state the reason for the extension on the TM7 form, so whether they know or not, you have to tell them, and then sign the form. Do you have something to hide?

Yes and you will have to update ALL documents for extension

so what does that mean if you say for example take a cooking class and it finished before you extend? You have met the criteria as long as you keep the funds up....is the latter the only thing you need to prove? What if you used working remote as the requirement but then stopped working?

It's relatively new, so nobody knows until they confirm on FB. Take things people on FB say with a pinch of salt. The ones giving spurious advice more than likely are not even on the DTV visa.

They seem to want ALL documents updating if extending, so bank account proving you still have 500k baht, activities updated, remote working updated etc .

If I had to bet I'd say no. It does say on some visas. If they don't know and want to they could ask to see your original documents you applied with.
