ORIGINAL POSTER
"Once I get the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), after 180 days, do I still need to show 500,000 Baht every time I extend it? If I exit and re-enter, is there any chance immigration might get suspicious and ask to see my bank balance again before giving a new entry stamp? Nowadays, many agencies are offering DTV visa packages, so I just want to be sure before I apply."

TLDR : Answer Summary
When you apply for an extension of your Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) at immigration after the initial 180 days, you will need to show proof of 500,000 Baht in your bank account, along with updated documentation used for your original application. However, upon exiting and re-entering Thailand, there have been no widespread reports of immigration asking for proof of funds; most travelers have reportedly been stamped in without issue. It is advisable to keep funds accessible in case queries arise in the future.

Forget using a PACKAGE of DTV services. Do it yourself. Read the posts about getting the DTV visa on this forum. Carefully choose the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you will be applying. It's evident that there's Thai Embassy's and Consulates which are now aware of agent made applications and denying them.

You don't need to extend. Just travel as usual, you'll get 180 days upon each entry.

If you apply for extension at immigration, you must show the 500,000 and fresh paperwork from everything you used to originally apply for it.

If you leave and return, then there have not been reports of inquiry upon entry yet.

 that logic is flawed. Anyone can create an account and pretend to be a person. And most people in general talk crap as you’ve just shown.

There are reasons to be anonymous, hence the feature

 this is ironic coming from a profile that has no real profile photo and has their profile totally locked down.

Please explain how your profile offers anymore value when it comes to posting?

I work for immigration so that should speak for itself why I don’t post using my name and opt for the anonymous feature

Participante anónimo 343 that's my real photo duh... so zero irony. It's me wearing the Star Trek's Star Fleet uniform (do you know what it is, right? If not, Google it). It has some special effects on the background, but the face part is 100% real, as well as my name. And it's locked to avoid anonymous like you prying on my personal life. I don't care where you work, and to answer why non-anonymous profiles are better (at least in pages or groups like this), it's because you can see consistency on the persons, like you can see all the past posts of any person.

And as bonus info, which I don't know if you already know or not, I'm letting you know that the Admins of each FB site/group can see the profile name (and also profile, to the extent is unlocked or not) of each member.

Currently nobody is reporting have to show 500k upon entry or re-entry. Nobody knows if it will ever happen in the future. Deal with the situation as it arises. It may never.
