You don't need to be a genius to understand that immigration will check for visa requirements, and that will include the activities related to the visa. If a Muay Thai is used by far more DTV holders than the capacity of the school, that might get some attention. That certainly will not mean every school and every DTV holder will be investigated, but it will happen.

@Peter ********

I just learned from you, when others write something just ask dumb questions like "Did you see that written anywhere? or : How is your creative writing going"

I thought you might like it to get same type of questions on your reactions as you give to others.

@Peter ********

Did you see this written somewhere? No monitoring? Or is it just you fantasy?

Anonieme deelnemer 941 Just ask

@Peter ********

if he has seem it written somewhere, that is his favorite slogan. I think it is normal there are checks, but I think nothing is against switching to another gym in another place, the visa rules don't mention you should not switch.

@Wayne ******

It would be a nice option to have a speed lane, they can ask double fees for it.

DTV just has exactly the same remark about working prohibited, an extra indication Thai government does not see remote working as working in Thailand.

I understand a law firm has its own interest s in telling people they need a work permit.

@Marney *******

I think immigration officers are not stupid, and also see a lot of DTV holders just try to live in Thailand and used soft power activity or own company just as a trick to get a 5 year visa.

DTV is not meant as a visa to live in Thailand, and in combination with a number of visa exempt entries, that might trigger IO to check if intention of stay matches visa.

I very often see here questions like what is the cheapest way to get approved for DTV, that says a lot about the intentions of those people...

@Mark ******

in fact not six months, but 180 days which is correct.

Topicstarter might have expected 8 November and therefore ask if it is normal.

@Marney *******

It is the first 90 day report of every 180 day stamp you get on DTV.

So when you stay the whole 180 days of the stamp and then leave you have to do your first report at day 90 or a few days after, then there will be no second 90 day report because you leave the country at day 180 or before.

When you re-enter it starts all over again wit first 90 day report in person.

Only when you do not leave the country after 180 days and get an in country extension, there will be a second and a third 90 day report, you can do online

@Meaw ***********

If you want to use the visa legally, you need ongoing activity, some people think requirements stop after they got the visa, but that is stated nowhere, so there is no reason to believe that is true.

Chances getting stopped when you reenter the country are very low, but there is a risk.

What will happen in the future nobody knows, but if they want they can implement all kind of checks to see if you comply with the visa requirements.
