Do I need to show my cooking course registration every time I enter Thailand on a DTV?

@Adam ********

where did you get information the visa requirements stop before the visa ends? It is normally in the whole world when you get a visa the requirements are for the whole visa period, so when this Thai DTV was different they would mention that somewhere, I did not find, and up till now nobody could show me where that exception is mentioned, so it would help very much if you could.

@Luit ****************

can you give an example of what you’re talking about so I can show you how it’s flawed in referring to a DTV?

Please give an example of violating visa requirements for another visa. This is so easy

@Adam ********

What is the part you don't understand? The course is the reason itself you get the DTV softpower visa, just like a job with work permit is the reason for a work visa. When the job stops, you cannot use the work visa anymore to visit the country. DTV is not a kind of entrance ticket for 5 years as a lot of people here seem to believe. It is a visa valid for five years and aimed at people who want to do one or more softpower activities in periods of up to half a year. There is no need for a 5 year course, you can also have several courses during those 5 years, but should not be in the country at the periods in between. Most people need to periods in berween anyway to make money in their home country, because working in Thailand is prohibited on DTV.

@Adam ********

Do you really believe there going to let someone enter and stay in Thailand for 5 years on any 6 month course ???

@Bob *********

that's quite possible. Pure speculation at this time. No fact otherwise.

@Bob *********

if I didn’t think they would/do, why don’t they check every time?

And also, why create a DTV visa if you could just take these courses on an ED visa?

@Adam ********

immagration had nothing to do with creating this visa

@Bob *********

that’s a vague answer. Why don’t you respond to what I said?
