ORIGINAL POSTER
First entry with DTV visa went smooth no questions asked just finger prints and picture taken and stamped right in.

I see alot of anonymous post saying they were pulled to the side questioned etc. I didn’t have that experience.

I had my first DTV reentry stamp in July! No issues. I totally forgot to the electronic verification until I was about to land in BKK, but I applied as I was landing and was approved before I got off the plane. In the past, I have been questioned when returning from a Visa run, prior to my DTV. It wasn’t a terrible experience and I respect the IOs due diligence. I told them I was considering which SE country to apply for a digital nomad visa and that the next time I leave I’ll return with a DTV. They asked for my website to confirm my legitimacy and I was proud to show them my work. They stamped me and let me in. The next time I left, I returned with a DTV. My first DTV stamp was smooth and without any questions.
