Hello guys quick dtv question. In the last 2 years I spent about a year and a half in thailand and 1 month in my home country and the rest in vietnam. Only the last 6 months was with the dtv and the rest were visa exemptions. I have the dtv for work not for all the school type courses. Last time on entry I used fast track but they don't have it at the main airports now.

Can anyone with as many or more thailand stamps share their experience of re-entry or denials with me please? I'm going back on the 1st, I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right but I'm also sure they will question me because of all the thailand stamps. I appreciate all your experience. Thank you
Answer summary
The user is concerned about potential questioning upon re-entering Thailand due to their extensive travel history, including multiple entry stamps and a recent DTV for work. They have received various responses, indicating that having a DTV (digital nomad visa) typically means there's no issue with entry, regardless of past visa exemptions or travel frequency. Community members shared their personal experiences, suggesting that while there may be a chance of questioning, the presence of numerous entry stamps shouldn't be a problem, and factors like appearance and demeanor at the checkpoint may play a more significant role.

Fast track and the priority lanes are still operating. It is the VIP safe entry that has been stopped.

If they are going to question you it is not because of any past entry stamps, no matter how many you have. Those being questioned are all based on their physical appearance. Thailand does not like poor looking backpackers, or unclean people. Dress nice with a collared shirt, long pants, and a nice haircut, and you won't have any problems. Thailand does stereotype, and profile.

I don't understand what is the question? I enter, exit and reenter with the DTV as I wish since I got in October 2024. Might have some 20 stamps on it already.

You have a DTV, you won't get denied entry.

I had tons of weird stamps and visas before I got my DTV. I've entered 6 times with it now, and never been asked a single thing.

You are fine I done about 40 DTV entry’s ,

As Andi’s comment you have a 5 year multi entry visa. Ur concerns would revolve around visa exemption entry

I would go so far to say the more entry’s the better :

The whole issue with all visas including exemptions is they don’t want people living in Thailand on tourist situations.

KnowledgeableRaccoon5198 the number of entries and exits doesn't mean anything. For example, once I visited my home country for only 4 days. It's not like they will think I don't live in here because I stayed four days abroad.

You have a valid 5 year multi entry visa so no problem with your previous arrival history. Fast track is still in place, it is Safe Entry that's meant to have been stopped.
