Hi all, has anyone with DTV visa has experience with entering and leaving Thailand and then entering again?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa allows for multiple entries over five years, and users have reported that upon entering Thailand, immigration officers generally do not ask for additional information. After receiving the initial 180-day stamp upon entry, travelers can leave and re-enter without issues, often receiving a new 180-day stamp. However, there are reports of occasional inquiries regarding the purpose and length of stay at immigration, but overall experiences suggest a smooth entry process.

Imigration officer can ask anything they want.

But when I came back on DTV they didn't ask me anything.

I've read about one case when guy with DTV was asked by immigration officer about purpose of visit and length of stay during in Thailand during his first enter.

It was in Suvarnabhumi airport around 2 weeks ago.

That's a common question to be asked. I've been asked that many times over the years when entering under Visa Exempt, Tourist Visa or a Non-O Visa (marriage).

which doesn't negate the fact it's a visa valid for FIVE YEARS good for unlimited entries during that time of 180 days each.

Several people have already got the DTV issued entered the country, stamped in for 180 days, then traveled to another country, come back and got stamped back in for a new 180 days.

There's no issue at all and the officers at passport control don't ask for anything.

If you have an eVisa (that you got online in your country) you just show that PDF with your passport when you stamp in.

thank you, I thought it was every six months but was confused how to pay if you were coming and going every few months. Do you only have to show proof of funds one time as well then?
