TLDR : Answer Summary
DTV visa holders report varying experiences upon arrival in Thailand regarding the questions asked by immigration officers. Commonly mentioned requests include proof of at least 20,000 Baht or equivalent cash, and confirmation of continued enrollment in studies related to the visa. However, there are also reports of not being asked for any specific documentation, indicating the variability of immigration officer discretion on the day of arrival.

Only reports I've seen asked are proof of 20,000 baht and proof that you're still attending whatever class you used to qualify. No departure ticket
