Hello,

DTV holder working for a company at my home country (remote worker) on Thai soil.

I have a 1 day trip to KL to visit a friend.

The next day I come back to Thailand. Has anyone had problems with immigration after a 1 night boarder hop? 

Kop khun khruppp 🙏

Answer summary

The user, a DTV visa holder working remotely for a foreign company while in Thailand, inquired about potential immigration issues when making a one-night trip to Malaysia and returning to Thailand. Several responses confirmed that as long as the user has a multi-entry visa, they should have no problems re-entering Thailand after a short trip. Some users shared their own experiences of similar trips without any issues, while one raised concerns about stricter scrutiny at Phuket immigration due to issues with illegal workers.

Phuket immigration seems to be the only problem entry point. They have a big issue with illegal workers so they scrutinise lots of people.

No, you have a multi entry visa so you can leave and return as you like.
