Of course you can be questioned and even refused entry but it is highly unlikely

Can a DTV Softpower route be converted to a workcation route retroactively?
John **********
Pick which option you want to go with and stick to it. If you want to work remotely from Thailand then workation is the option you want to go with. If you don't want to work remotely from Thailand then go with soft power. You can't chop and change

How can I find certified schools and activities for the DTV visa in Pattaya?
John **********
@Pascal ******
 you're doing it the wrong way round. Better to choose an activity you will enjoy. If you don't care as to the activity its better you go with the Non-O

Can I expect my visa application to be approved by December 30th if the embassy says it takes up to 15 business days to process?
John **********
Your 15 working day count starts on the 5th of December as that's when you last submitted documents. However the 5th was a holiday so start counting from the 6th. The 10th, 25th, 26th and 31st are also holidays. Not much you can do but keep your fingers crossed

IVE ALMOST MADE IT bear in mind that processing time is 15 days from when you last submitted documents, not from when you first applied. Submitting documents resets the clock. Plus its high season and there are 5 holidays in December

Can you be denied re-entry to Thailand with a DTV visa after traveling abroad?
John **********
Yes of course, a visa is not a guarantee of entry. But simply being out of the country for some time is not going to be a reason to do so
