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

@Pete ******

Insulting and referring to someones IQ is your way of telling you cannot answer a very simple question?

And that fore somebody who always wants to have an explanation when others tell something?

@Muay ************

on your website you claim that you do a weekly documentation with pictures.

„Key Features of DTV Plus:

A dedicated weekly 45-minute class tailored for DTV visa holders.

Official documentation including a photo, course info, and a QR code linked to our verification system.

Easy verification for immigration: Officials can scan the QR code to confirm your ongoing activity directly on our website.“

so how does that work? will people do online class and you make a zoom-call and picture?

@Oleg **********

no one has reported needing to show documentation when arriving in Thailand on DTV only when extension country

This may change but hasn’t yet

@Biff ******

I think he just is intelligent enough to understand general rules about all visa whereever in the world.

In this group a lot of people think that once they get a visa there are no rules anymore.

Some might not be intelligent enough to understand it can not work that way, for others it is just wishful thinking.

Fact is that Oleg just is right, immigratiion always is allowed to ask for proof that the visa you present covers the purpose of stay.

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

you obviously don’t understand how to reference a source, your statements confirm your intellect.

@Pete ******

When a reference to MFA is not a source anymore, that tells a lot about your knowledge.

I would like to see you make this same kind of remarks when at entry an IO asks you something, but I think you will not be that stubborn anymore and just accept what the IO tells you.

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

so you are not serious, no reference to a source, you might as well claim it’s “Immigration law”….

@Pete ******

You'll be waiting a long time for Luit to back up any of his claims with actual proof 😆

@Pete ******

Everything I told you are clear facts, and as I told you, just ask MFA if you don't believe me. I think MFA is the source you need.

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

nothing you have said is factual. An intelligent man would just reference a source that confirms his position.

@Sean ******

just ask MFA and they will tell you the same, I don't compare tourist with non-o, I just explain some basic visa rules, you simply don't understand, and it is a waste of time to explain to you, but this group will have more intelligent user who will understand, so in total it is not a waste of time.

@Pete ******

You are completely wrong, but I know you don't want to believe me, just as MFA and you will get the same answer.

@Pete ******

It's a waste of time trying to explain things to him. I've told him before comparing tourist visas to Non Immigrant visas is apple's to oranges.

Anonieme deelnemer 166 how do you think they can know before how long your course takes and when you stop?

@Bob *********

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

@Adam ********

Correct ✅

@Bob *********

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

@Adam ********

immagration had nothing to do with creating this visa

@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.

@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 ********

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.

@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 ********

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