How is the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) experience for re-entry to Thailand?

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

Posts that said business class tickets, expensive hotel bookings help entry are BS. Saying" I saw many arrivals passport info and visas and heard everything what the IO said to them" is BS. The poster often removed the post quickly when the lies are called out

@Andi **********

It is just your opinion they are BS, you don't have proof for that.

And even when you had it would be far more polite to say you have another opinion, than calling others liars and fearmongerers.

Just being a bit more Thai where defamation just is not done, makes the world a better place.

It might be useful for everybody to see what can happen when you are questioned at entry, so these stories are much more valuable than the people telling "I entered without any problem".

Reacting the way you and some others do to people who post this experiences might have others stop posting these experience because they don't want to be treated unfair, and then we all miss the information.

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

You really think a business class ticket is required for a valid visa entrant along with a 5 star hotel? How often do you open your passport and visa to strangers on arrival and question them on the visa application? How can you hear multiple people being questioned on arrival? I have given a couple of my entry experiences, once asked what my job is that's it. Majority of time is nothing or questions on English football teams

@Andi **********

It is not about what I believe, I don't know what a bussiness clas ticket might do or might not.

Sometimes you can hear people questioned, but I don't have experience what happens when you would be separated from the queue and got questioned more, so I cannot tell what you can hear at that moment, so I cannot decide if such a story is true or not.

And as long as I cannot decide it is not true, I accept it as possible true.

Most important is that unless you are a conspiricy thinker there is no reason at all to believe those stories are not true.

There is no advantage for the people telling them.

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

You don't know what a business class ticket might do or not do? Seriously??? Ok...case closed

@Andi **********

How should I know that? For some people showing their wealth is important and other people are sensitive for that.

And there is a group people that always think they know everything better like you and when somebody does not share their opinion they "just close the case".

For me with that attitude they just prove their real character, no problem.

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

You should know business class flights, 5-star hotel bookings are not mandatory requirements for entry to Thailand, is the point. I do not think i know better, im just giving you a fact about entry.

@Andi **********

Sure it is not mandatory, but having money makes some thing easier.

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

did you miss the anonymous post about the thai IO at vietnam airport asking for bank account statements? 🤣thats a good example

@Toni ******

Sometimes stories might have elements in it that are not completely correct described. Also don't forget there are a lot of people here having difficulty describing everything objective, but that is no reason not believing them and immediately call them liars and fearmongerers.

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

like i said, i base my believe in the people i know here for 4years now. I trust them more than anonymous fairytales without any proof whatsoever

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

no, the posts usually claim nonsense at the border, its not related to dtv especially. Admins just dont care if its about dtv or not

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

to be honest everything i have seen here anonymous fearmongers doesnt really add up, for me, all from the bank accounts to border checkups... it just doesnt add up, for me or anyone i know here for 4years now... I can choose not to believe, and you can choose to believe, simple as that :)

@Toni ******

Sure it is your choice to believe or not to believe, but if you don't believe it still is very unpolite to accuse the anonymous posters who tell their experiences about their entry as liars and fearmongers without any proof.

Maybe you should just adapt a little more to Thai culture.

You only pick anonymous posters that tell things you do not believe, but are perfectly realistic in itself as having accounts created for trolling, while you accept a lot of others with exactly same type of account or anonymous.

I think this tells something of the way you think and about your character, but I won't mention this, because I then are just like you...

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

im still wondering how someone met thai IO at vietnam airport

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

no, its like you said, its about proof

@Toni ******

so commenting with your name and not anonymously is proof?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Nick ******

At least a proof he can't even use the search function to find non-anonymous posters who got questions at the border... 🤔😅

@Toni ******

I think a description of any experience somebody had, has to be considered as a true story.

Everybody decides for himself if he believes, and not believing is OK.

But accusing somebody as a liar or a fearmongerer needs proof.

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

well i didnt accuse, it wasnt me. But you do have to realize theres a lot or angry people (who paid for elite visa) and jealous people (who dont qualify for dtv).... so, everything weird coming out from anonymous poster, is suspicious to me.. i have had no questions asked or anything, and i cant see anyone else either, apart from the anonymous people... Thats how I think. You can think how you like too :)

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

because cant see their history in the group, or if the account is new, created for trolling. Simple as that...

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

You can basically make a list of these broken records: the ‘anonymous = fearmongers.’ Always the same guys, no arguments. They keep making rules based on short-term trends. And yet, there are more and more anonymous posts of all types in this group. As if immigration would be able to check 100% of entries. Their motto: It didn't happen to me so it doesn't happen! Great one 😅😂
