ORIGINAL POSTER

What happens with soft power after you finish the course? 

Can you go out and back again the following year without a booked class? 

Do they question you?

TLDR : Answer Summary

After completing a soft power course in Thailand, you can enjoy a valid DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) for 5 years, which allows for multiple entries. There are no specific re-entry requirements related to ongoing enrollment, although occasional checks for proof of funds may occur upon re-entry. Generally, there are no reports of being questioned about course enrollment when returning.

There are no re-entry requirements with the DTV, you have a 5 year multiple entry tourist visa.

Currently there are no reports of that being checked on entry. They will check if you try and get an extension at your local immigration office inside Thailand

You have the DTV active leave and come back every 180 days - if you stay and extend you have to show proof as if you are applying again - thus far the only thing ive heard asked when returning is proof of funds in savings and that is rare - never asked to show enrollment in anything when coming back hope that helps
