Got approved for DTV workcation yesterday which I am very happy about.

Now I want to ensure a frictionless entry. I've been reading of being being questioned intensely on entry - even with the visa.

I'm coming off 3 weeks outside the country after a very long stay on visa exemptions and extensions. As far as I'm concerned I'm fully legit with my visa now, do I just have the visa and digital arrival card ready when going through or do I need to be practicing my story, detailing plans etc. ?

Hi

I stupidly booked a flight a bit beyond the 6 month entry allowance for a dtv, rushed it last minute booking

Will immigration have an issue with boarding pass being past 180 day entry ?

If so what can I do I rang Thai consulate in Australia no help

Changing flight at this stage is expensive, thought of booking a random flight to say Vietnam for part way through my trip, not sure if that’s suffice

Or because I have plenty funds and such a long time to change things immigration will be fine ?

Thanks

Applied and accepted for DTV. Since it's a long stay I've booked a one way flight. Is the DTV visa enough to satisfy the airline or do I still need proof of onward travel?

I bank with Krungsri. For years I have maintained a 800k balance. I would like to switch to the 65k per month option. I use Wise to transfer monies to my Krungsri account. I always select the 'funds for long term option'. How can I be sure my transfers meet Immigration requirements?

If I have a little less than 500,000 baht in my bank account, I only have 488,000 baht and a monthly income of 40,000 baht online and I apply for the soft power Muay Thai, will that be okay? I apply in Vietnam ?
