My gf and I are moving to Thailand on a DTV visa for workation. We plan to be there around 2 years, exploring Asia and working remotely (my gf works as a freelancer and I own a company).
We've seen a ton of information online about entry at the airport being a potential issue.
Can anyone share a list of things we must have upon entry to ensure we will be fine and have a smooth entry experience?
I’m leaving Thailand to go to Hong Kong tomorrow and will return some time next week. As I understand, I don’t need a re entry permit, and may be asked for proof of funds & to show a copy of my DTV certificate.
Is there anything else I should be aware of/bring with me?

90 day, single entry, Non-O visa (retirement/marriage)
For a good number of years we've been advising people to come here free stamp (visa exempt), open a bank account, transfer in the required funds and then apply for a 90 day Non-O visa in country at your immigration office.
Sadly, with the changes to the way banks allow accounts to be opened now, it is almost impossible to open a bank account on a free stamp (visa exempt) entry 😕
We are now going to suggest people who want to do year retirement or marriage extensions once they're here to get the initial 90 day Non-O visa in your country BEFORE you come here via the thai eVisa online web-portal
There are several advantages to this.
1 - you can show proof of funds in a bank in your country to get the initial visa issued from a thai consulate.
2 - it makes it WAY easier to open a bank account if you come in on a Non-O 90 day visa.
These are the requirements for the 90 day Non-O visa based on being over 50 (retirement) and the requirements for the 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai national
AND
These are the choices you would select on the eVisa online system
Good day, I got several questions about DTV (soft power). Do assist me if possible.
1) I understand that DTV last 5 years. I’m interested to enrol in Muay Thai lessons. It’s a 9 months course. After 9 months, am I supposed to enrol for another lessons or by registering for 9 months course, I can stay Thailand for 5 years provided I leave the country every 180 days?
2) For the 500,000 baht requirement, is it 3 months or 6 months in bank account? Will my spouse need another 500,000 baht or she can tap on my 500,000 baht account?
3) Are all embassies the same in terms of requirements and approval rates? If not, any particular country you can recommend me to apply?
4) Do wI have to maintain 500,000 baht throughout the 5 years DTV?
Sincere apologies if my post is too long. Any answers will be greatly appreciated.
