I've been in Thailand since February this year (did the 6 month extension). My previous history before getting the DTV had me stopped and questioned every single entry for a couple of years.

Just left for a week to go to Hong Kong and back. They barely even looked at me at immigration when I came back, just stamped me in and waved me on.

I had a friend who didn’t do 90 day report and he left the country. Will he have an issue coming back? Shouldn’t they have pulled him up at immigration when leaving and possibly give him a fine or something?

I'm on the DTV for Workcation (remote work) but am leaving Thailand today after staying for just 3 weeks. I will be gone for 3 months because I have other stuff to take care of outside Thailand. Could there be any issues with staying for a short time on the DTV, then being away from Thailand for some months, then coming back again to stay a month or two? I imagine for the Soft Power version of the DTV that may seems questionable, but for a remote worker like me it shouldn't be an issue, right?

Hey peeps, have an unusual question, maybe someone can help:

I applied for a Tourist Visa (60 days), but it got approved only hours after I had already entered Thailand.

So now I’m a the regular 30 day exemption stamp, and still have my unused letter of approval for the visa, which is valid 90 days to activate (as I understand it).

Does that mean, if I’d exit the country now (or any time within the next 90 days), I could re-enter on the already-approved Tourist Visa that I didn’t end up using?

Or will they check if I’m actually arriving on the dates/flights whose info was given when applying for the original visa?

Would be a shame to let it go to waste 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for any insights! 🙏
