Hi,

anyone got experiences coming with DTV visa into DMK airport on workcation? 

Especially if you just went outside of the country for a short time and not have documents to proof your workcation with you?

Answer summary

The post inquires about experiences entering Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) through DMK airport, specifically regarding short international trips without documentation to prove compliance with workcation stipulations. Community responses indicate a generally smooth entry process, with users sharing minimal issues when questioned by Immigration Officers (IO), who often inquire about the individual's company and role. Some users suggest carrying electronic documentation and express a mix of anxiety and caution when dealing with IOs, especially when returning to the country.

I've used both airports and the land border at Nong Khai and never had a single issue

Why not just take the documents electronically with you?

The IO I got just asked the name of my company and my position. Ask me how long I stay, then stamp me in. It made my anxiety go up a little but I made it in.

Interesting thanks! Did you get the impression the IO was probing or just wanting someone to chat to? How long you plan to stay? isn’t specific to DTV. I’ve been asked that when entering other countries as visa exempt.

I felt like she was a little suspicious and probing, I’ve been in BKK back and forth for 2 & 3 months at a time this year and I guess she wanted to verify the date I submitted on my DTV matched. She wrote down everything I said, so now when I come back I feel like I need to carry a letter from my company and a pay stub.

I've never ever had a problem. Use both BKK and DMK at least once a month, for the past two years. Remote work DTV.

Does yours say Remote Worker on it? I'm not sure if they all specify how you applied.

Participante anónimo 371 no, it doesn't say. But I mentioned because if they ask me what do I do, I can reply I work, i.e. I didn't take nor will be taking any Muay Thai or cuisine etc. courses.
