What was your experience entering Thailand with a DTV visa and what should I prepare for immigration?

The requirements exist and are mentioned, but you are just too stupid to understand that the requirements keep in place after you applied.

With DTV you apply for a visa for a specific purpose, it is valid for that purpose and not for any other purpose.

That is clearly stated on the site when you apply.

How hard can that be to understand?

It looks liuke you belong to the group of people that also needs explanation that when they buy a microwave it should not be used to dry your cat or dog.

Luit van der Linde Immigration would have taken the easy way out by telling you what you wanted to hear (also the safest for themselves because they have no guidance notes to work with). Incidentally, there are no 'views'. Either requirements exist or they don't. If this one did it would be stated at application stage. MFA, Embassies/Consulates, immigration and DTV holders would all be 100% crystal clear in that current enrollment upon a qualifying course (Soft Power) or current employment (Workcation) is essential to obtain entry with a DTV.

Border checks only affect a very low percentage of total visits, so the fact that most people are not checked thoroughly is perfectly normal, compare this to the average speed of a lot of roads where people drive to fast without getting fined.

I am not concerned at all, you don't want to know official rules, you keep acting like the twin of Christopher Killcourse.

Just keep dreaming DTV is the opposite of all other visa and has a complete different set of rules.

I will put you together with Chistopher Killcourse on my blocklist.

FYI I contacted Immigration by email and they confirmed my view.

Your view is completely unrealistic and nowhere documented.

Luit van der Linde Your theory doesn't explain why people happily claim their qualifying course ended ages ago yet they have entered Thailand several times since. If immigration aren't checking for invalid DTVs (invalid according to yourself that is) the question is why not? A few possibilities; 1) Haven't got enough staff available at the time, 2) Can't be bothered, 3) DTV remains valid throughout the 5 year validity period nevertheless. As you appear to be genuinely concerned about this maybe you should be contacting the Thai Bureau of Immigration?

@Jay *****************

Obviously you can see things that are not there.

In Immigration rules is clearly described that a visa is for a purpose of visit, and that Immigration can check for your visit matching the purpose.

For non-o you agree with this, because tou say it is conditional, for DTV you don't agree with it.

Nowhere is written any exception for DTV that it will loose its requirements once it is issued.

That will not make any sense, but you keep shouting requirements drop the moment the visa is issue, but you cannot show any kind of proof of your fantasy.

Just keep dreaming, visa requirements stay in place during validity unless it is stated different somewhere.

Maybe it is a good idea to put you together with Christopher Killcourse on my blocking list, you two have a lot in common.

@Luit ****************

As you know, I didn't. Because nobody can view something which isn't there.

@Jay *****************

Where do you see the difference in description of conditions for non-o which you for some reason seem to accept and the conditions for DTV which you for some completely unclear reason not accept.

As I said, keep on dreaming.

When you remove the last 6 characters of your nickname it would much better fit your behaviour.

@Luit ****************

Not fantasy but reality. If DTVs were issued upon a conditional basis that applied throughout the five year validity period it would be stated. It isn't.
