Leaving Thailand next week and have had my DTV visa since last summer. Since having the visa, I’ve left the country 4 times but have never had an issue with immigration coming back in. I always bring a paper copy of my Visa, have never missed a 90-day checkin, and always do my TM30. I am flying back in to DMK. Is there a need for fast track?

I have seen some people get held up in BKK with immigration so would love to hear some input.
Answer summary
The user, holding a DTV visa, inquires about the necessity of using fast track services upon re-entering Thailand at Don Mueang Airport (DMK), based on previous positive experiences with immigration. Community comments generally suggest that fast track may not be necessary if one has a clean record and proper documentation, as many recent travelers report smooth entry without issues. However, some caution that individual experiences can vary, and fast track may provide peace of mind if one anticipates questions or potential delays.

Don't understand why you're asking? You've never had an issue. You mention reports (almost certainly trolls) of people being held up reentering at Suvarnabhumi Airport yet you're returning to Don Mueang Airport. Are you attempting to cause unease with your anonymous participant post?

If you think that there’re questions you can’t or are uncomfortable to answer, then get a Fast Track. Whether to invite you for an interview is entirely at the discretion of an officer. No one here can guarantee that you will pass without questions even though they had no questions asked for their last 100 entries.

Genuine DTV holders do not care if the Immigration officer ask what do you do in Thailand.

Others call it "waterboarding" as they already have a very high anxiety level out of fear of Immigration due to trying to play stupid games to win stupid prices.

Went through DMK on the 2nd of march after a night in Laos and back.... zero issues whatsoever. Was in front of the IO for approximately 40 seconds.
