What is the experience like entering Thailand on a DTV after a prolonged stay?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Second entry on my DTV after 5 months in Thailand. Arrived at DMK from KUL, presented DTV printout (A4), TDAC printout, and my passport. No questions, straight through in 30 seconds after photo and fingerprints. Swedish passport, workcation category.
I know there is scaremongering going on, but I assure you it's smoother than ever on a DTV. I just saw one guy pulled aside because he didn't fill in the TDAC.

Answer summary
A user shared their recent experience re-entering Thailand on a Digital Tourist Visa (DTV) after spending five months in the country. They reported a smooth process at Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), where they presented their DTV printout, TDAC printout, and passport, facing no questions and clearing immigration in about 30 seconds. The user also noted ongoing discussions about visa enforcement, mentioning that stricter checks seem to target those misusing visa exemptions rather than legitimate visa holders. In the comments, another individual affirmed that their experience at Bangkok's airport was equally smooth. A user inquired about the feasibility of a same-day trip to Cambodia and returning without issues.

I agree I just entered on my third time at BKK
It seems to be easier
They are just targeting excessive use of visa exemptions.
Not legitimate visa holders
