The immigration officer didn’t even look at the TDAC or the DTV printout. She didn't even take it from my hands..just the passport.

She simply asked, “What’s your purpose of visit?”

I replied, “Workcation,” and showed her my visa.

Then she signaled someone to close the counter gates and made a phone call. I ended up waiting for about 15 minutes.

During that time, she just kept staring at her screen and eventually asked, “How long will you stay?”

I said, “A month.”

Later, one of her colleagues arrived, and they had a quick exchange. All I could catch was “dai, dai” - which I assume meant “okay” or “can.”

Then the colleague turned to me and asked, “Mister, what work do you do?”

I told her I run a company back home and manage it remotely.

That was it. They stamped me in.

Still, the whole experience felt a bit tense and nerve-wracking.

Hello guys! Yesterday entering thru don mueang I was stopped by immigration around 1 hour. Currently I have student visa since 2023, but I saw some other guys in the room with DTV, just be careful as immigration is checking everything while getting inside of the country. This has never happened to me in my 2 years in Thailand.

Can you briefly describe your experience arriving in Thailand and going through immigration with the DTV? Any questions? Did they ask for any additional documents?

Today arrive Cnx with Dtv just gave my phone and passport with boarding pass. The staffs are so welcoming and cheerful for everybody. No questions was asked just stamp 180days. Previous I have 3 TR visa and 3 visa extempt and one e extension. Only 5min to clear the immigration.

Exited BKK to Singapore with new automated machines. This saves me a stamp. And I fly in and out Thailand 2 times a month so that’s 48 stamps per year. Now that will be halved so slowing down a passport replacement. I wonder if they will have these on entry?

Just wanted to share my experience on arriving with my Destination Thailand visa from Munich embassy quickly. After being pulled out for questioning the last few times, entering with a tourist visa, this time everything went smooth, no questions asked. Glad Thailand finally has a real digital "nomad" visa.

Does the evisa shows the date of issue? I saw online that some people couldn't get their visa on time and only got approved while in Thailand and then just exited the country and re-entered to activate their visa. Won't the immigration officer check the date of issue? Anyone went through this process ?

Went through immigration at BKK today. I was just recently approved for a DTV, but I’m leaving in a couple of weeks for a work thing so figured I’d just stamp in under the usual visa waiver/exemption. When the IO scanned my passport the DTV popped up in the system and she asked to see the printout (I had several copies prepared fortunately - thanks guys). She then apologized because it was her first time dealing with a DTV, so she had to get a manager to come over and walk her through the validation process. No biggy, just sharing so other DTV holders aren’t surprised.

I arrived sandbox last night. Thai embassy Canberra made it clear I did not need return flight for coe. The counter staff at Singapore Airlines in Adelaide said that according to home affairs one was required. It did not stop me boarding and they said if thai immigration wanted a return flight just book a cheap one to Singapore. Air Asia has the for $150. But I held my nerve and got through without it.

Sweet!
