What should I do if my DTV visa entry is denied after a brief vacation abroad?

Question

Update: I have all my paperwork in order, UK passport, DTV freelancer not soft power, freelance contract, more than 500K thb but I was still questioned upon arrival and their exact words were: “Why did you not extend at Division 1. I told the officer well it’s a multiple entry visa so I can go visit other countries if I want. After I showed them the money and all my incoming contract payments from foreign companies. They understood and let me in. It was completely unnecessary but I have all my things in order. Hence, the question 🤷‍♂️

Hi friends, 

For the DTV visa if I decide to go out of the country to a nearby country for vacation for one week and come back in on my DTV and they deny me entry what happens then? What happens to my condo that I lease for a year and all the belongings in it? Thank you. ￼￼

The discussion revolves around the DTV visa holder's concerns about re-entering Thailand after a short trip abroad. Despite holding a valid visa, the user was questioned upon arrival regarding their choice not to extend their visa and the necessity of funds. Community members express mixed experiences and opinions regarding the likelihood of denial upon re-entry, advising caution about same-day returns and endorsing longer stays abroad before re-entering.

There are rising concerns that even with a DTV visa in hand the government could potentially not admit you after doing a border run for your 180 stay. There a YouTube channel with an American Laywer who lives in Thailand and specializes in immigration law that talked about it a little recently. Nothing is guaranteed

The chances of that happening are slim. But going with the premise, if that was to happen I guess the best you can do is beg for a 7 day visa so you can go get your stuff. Unless the IOs just really hate your face I don't see them denying you that much.

Well if that happens you're one of the most unluckiest people that  post on here .
