Sharing My Experience Entering Thailand with the DTV Visa

Today, upon arriving at immigration, I presented my passport, boarding pass, and printed DTV E-Visa. The immigration officer called someone, presumably her superior, and I was directed to another counter where I was asked:

* *"What were you doing for the last 3 months here?"* (Because I had a 60-day visa with a 30-day extension). I explained that I previously had a multiple visa for 6 months.

* *"Do you have a business here in Thailand?"* I responded, "No, I applied for a remote worker visa," and showed my employment contract from my email.

* *"Where are you going to stay in Thailand?"* I presented our 6-month apartment contract.

* *"Until when will you be staying here?*" I mentioned until June, showing my booked return ticket.

She then stamped my passport, confirmed my stay for 180 days (which I was already aware of), and wished me a Happy New Year before I left.

Just sharing my experience as it might not be the same for everyone - just a heads up!

Happy New Year Everyone! ๐Ÿฅณ
