I did my first exit, re-entry with dtv. Just overnight stay in Singapore for the run.

I have dtv e-visa so I printed letter + all my worcation application just in case.

No questions asked but I did show them the printed letter first and said that I had dtv. No other docs were asked no issues.

I had education visa before and did a lot of 1-2 months visits so I got used to be questioned a lot on previous non-dtv visits.

Arrived at Suvarnabhumi.

Yes, so you know what it’s like to be questioned. Hopefully, DTV won’t face the same fate as ED. People need to understand that stricter rules aren’t working against them if they are 100% legit. The issue is that the ones usually commenting aren’t, and that’s sad.
