@Kool ******

there are a few reports saying the opposite.

Most times they don't ask anything, but they have the right to ask, so try to keep documents available online, just in case.

Anonieme deelnemer 603 Some months ago I did see official guidelines posted in this group, but in Thailand every office will interpret this in their own way, but that is different from inventing rules.

Anonieme deelnemer 603 I do not see any invented rules here, although not accepting an application 10 days before is a bit strange.

@James *******

I see some reports, but it is difficult to check if they are true or not.

The only tjing I wanted to make people aware of, is that in case an IO asks for proof of ongoing activity and you don't have, the IO has the right to stop you.

You got granted a visa to visit the country for a purpose and the IO has the right to check if your visit matches this purpose.

The more people abuse this visa and do not have an ongoing activity, the more difficult it will get for people who really want to use the visa the way it is intended, so we should be happy with the checks by IO.

Anonieme deelnemer 646 you should stay outside the country during the COMPLETE application, not only at the start of the application.

Anonieme deelnemer 653 Your respect for others is disgraceful, in your case I perfectly understand you post anonymous. Since when don't you have to respect rules because some others don't respect rules. Luckily your kind is in a minority on this planet.

@James *******

One of factual rules for DTV are participation in soft power activity, it nowhere states that only is for a limited period. So no rule needed to change to revoke someone entry at the border that does not do soft power activity anymore. It is up to IO to check or not.

Anonieme deelnemer 646 What a stupid reaction that it can be done, almost anything that should not be done or is not allowed can be done.

And for now you are only sure you could enter Thailand, but you still risk problems using the DTV for the first time, because it just is visible you ignored the rules, so when you have bad luck and got checked by IO when you enter on DTV, you might be stopped.

Anonieme deelnemer 646 There might be no legal reason not to enter the country, but not following the rules for app;ication of a visa are a valid reason to reject the application, and not following the rules can also be a reason for extra checks at the border when you have DTV. It will be visible forever you did not follow the rules because DTV was applied while you were in Thailand.
