Will I face questioning at the airport upon returning to Thailand with a DTV visa after a 25-day absence?
Hello guys
I have DTV visa and it's been more than 6 months now and before that I did 3 border runs and I did 90 days checkin after 90 days of getting my DTV visa
Now I am going back to Thailand after 25 days from my country
So is there a questioning or problems at airport when I arrive Thailand ?
Please tell me guys if there is any questioning and problems so I can prepare myself

Only current facts matter, not personal opinions. (1) DTV holders have never been refused entry. (2) There is no requirement to be currently enrolled on any course. (3) There is no requirement to attend any course.

They can ask about the purpose of you coming to Thailand.
Better order easy entry.

If your purpose matches with what you applied for it should not be a problem.If it not matches, you are abusing the visa and might get problems when questioned.

You'll have no problems. The entry will be just like every time in the past on the DTV.

What are you worried about?? You didn't do anything wrong and have met your visa conditions. Also how do you prepare you just arrive in immagration and get a stamp. If they have a problem you just talk prepare what

They might press the button and get a superior to interrogate you. Prepare some docs on your phone you can show, bank statements and stuff. Something you can show that point toward you not being working in Thailand (other than workation).
But no you won't get denied entry by a mile, pay for a fast track if you worry or don't want to potentially spend 20min getting interrogated.

Anonymous participant 949It's very very unlikely you'd need to show any such docs if you're on a DTV. Never heard of anyone being asked for such proof. Verbal proof, maybe but not documented proof.

You are fine. You have a valid visa. The recent changes do not apply to you. Only Visa Exempt

You're fine, you got your DTV visa now. Doesn't matter what you did in the past. I'm just a Joe blow so I wouldn't listen to what I say exactly but that's my two cents
Paul *******
Anonymous participant 638 What you did in the past may in fact be an issue...even if you hold a DTV now.
James ********
Not a factual supposition. Sadly... IMHO....Merely an assumption of yours that scares folks.

Prepare yourself, comments on Facebook can not be used to explain an Immigration Officer that questions are not allowed.
