I've seen a lot of posts recently about stricter immigration checks for DTV visa holders entering Thailand. Has anyone here on a DTV Muay Thai visa had any problems re-entering Thailand recently? If so, could you share your experience and what documents immigration asked for? Thanks!
Answer summary
Recent discussions indicate that DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) holders have noted increased scrutiny when re-entering Thailand. While most find it generally manageable, some report being questioned about their visa’s purpose, including inquiries related to their work and contact information. It appears that immigration is paying particular attention to individuals suspected of engaging in illegal activities, especially due to recent crackdowns on scams. Maintaining all relevant documentation and being aware of what your visa specifies can help in easing the re-entry process.

With the heavy crackdown on scam call centers in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Thailand, they are taking special attention with anyone that fits that stereotype, and profile. You will be let in, as you have a legal visa, but if they suspect any kind of illegal activity, they will track everything you do, and everywhere you go. Just to make sure, one way, or the other. Just don't do anything illegal, then no worries.

I have the DTV for remote work

I came in and out many times

Especially from Laos

And the last time three months ago, I came back, was the first time I got inspected

They pulled me to the room and questioned me

Asked all kinds of questions about the work, asked for contact numbers , salary etc etc

Do Have friends in Thailand who etc , why I’m here etc

I was caught off guard for a bit, I contact everyone through LINE so I actually didn’t have phone numbers but I just answered and was friendly, he didn’t seem hostile. Either once I provided him everything.

In the end, they let me through but I guess they are getting more serious

Keep all documents in place as if you are going to be questioned and then there is nothing to be worried about. It's a Thai visa and not a Thai passport.

Mostly its no problem. But occasionally they ask about ongoing soft power activity. Non of our customers have been turned away though.

Does your DTV say Muay Thai on it?

@Mason ******
Wait, why does your visa specify Muay Thai?

EmeraldPapaya7418 As there is only one Destination Thailand Visa and not three different types. Some embassies specify your application route in the remarks to make a distinction.
