What is the experience of those who wait for DTV visa approval while in Thailand and then do a border run?

Many expats face concerns over waiting for their DTV visa approval while still wanting to return to Thailand. Some suggest it might be risky to enter Thailand without showing the DTV approval, as immigration authorities are reportedly aware of pending applications and might view inconsistencies seriously. While some individuals have succeeded by doing a border run after entering, it is generally advised to wait until the visa is approved to avoid complications. Using a border run agency could potentially mitigate risks, but caution is advised as each case can vary widely.
