ORIGINAL POSTER
Second entry on my DTV after 5 months in Thailand. Arrived at DMK from KUL, presented DTV printout (A4), TDAC printout, and my passport. No questions, straight through in 30 seconds after photo and fingerprints. Swedish passport, workcation category.

I know there is scaremongering going on, but I assure you it's smoother than ever on a DTV. I just saw one guy pulled aside because he didn't fill in the TDAC.

ORIGINAL POSTER
Recently exited / re-entered Thailand (workcation) with interesting experiences.

My wife, who is a follower on my DTV exited and re-entered about 10 days after me.

I left for Bali, stayed 8 days, and upon re-entry, the officer was a little puzzled how I extended in-country for my first extension. She asked a colleague, verified, let me through. Easy.

My wife left for Bali, stayed 7 days, and upon re-entry was asked “how long do you plan to stay?”

Wife: “180 days”

Officer: *rolls eyes* “and what is your work?”

Wife: “I’m a stay at home mom, a follower on my husband’s visa.”

Officer: *rolls eyes again, frustrated* “You’re already been in Thailand for one year. And you want to keep doing like this?”

Wife: “yes.”

Officer: “fine.” *final eye-roll”
