Will I have issues re-entering Thailand with a DTV visa after previous entry denial?

Question

Hi everyone! 🥰🥰 I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. I was denied entry to Thailand two weeks ago due to concerns about long-term stays. 
However, I’ve just had my DTV visa (workation–freelancer) approved here in Korea. I’m planning to re-enter Thailand next week. 
Given the previous denial, is there still a chance I might face issues at the border, even with the DTV visa? Thanks so much in advance! 🙏🏾

A user, who was previously denied entry to Thailand, seeks advice on re-entering the country with a newly approved DTV visa (workation for freelancers). Community comments suggest that despite past issues, having the DTV visa significantly increases likelihood of entry, though there are no guarantees as decisions ultimately depend on the immigration officer's judgment. It's recommended to come prepared with documentation of the visa and be ready for potential questions.

You should be fine 👍

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Should be no problem. Had the same problem. Just entered today via DTV. Took 30sec and I could enter without problems. Was flagged for too many VOA usage and would be denied the entry. So don’t worry. Get dtv and you good to go.

From my own experiences if possible I would always choose a male immigrant officer 🙈

There are no guarantees as down to mood of immigration officer you encounter, but your chances of getting let in go way up with DTV

You're definitely increasing your chances with a visa... The IO can still decide whether you're fulfilling the entry conditions or not; they may ask questions in this regard.

Search through this group. I am sure there was a post of someone in your exact situation. They entered Thailand on the DTV no issue
