Why should I answer that question? I believe there is no such thing as no requirements, and therefore there is no place to read a document telling there are ni requirements, but nevertheless a number of people here think there are no requirements, but they cannot point to such a document. Why should I try to find a document to prove that I am wrong and they are right? I think that somebody who waffles there are no requirements should point to the source of that info, not the other way around.

@Sean ******

I did not see officially written anywhere there are no checks, and also did not see written there are no requirements, so there are checks and there are requirements. Why you ask if that is written somewhere?

Did you consider it also might be your scanner that makes it difficult to recordniveau text? Text recognizing depends on many factors. But what is really wrong in the application is that you can fill the items before scanning the passport and then the system writes possible wrong data over the correct data. They should force you to scan first and then ask you to check and correct.

@James *****

Rules for application are clearly stated at the website. By applying you confirm to agree with the rules. The rules are certainly not customer friendly, but you cannot call it a scam, if you don't agree, just don't apply.

@Sean ******

As long as you realize that no checks is not meaning no requirements. You can always be the one that is checked for whatever reason.

@Sean ******

statistically the chances that checks will get less strict will be very small, because now there are almost no checks.

@Sean ******

the rules itself don't need any change for stricter checks requirements are for the full 5 years. It has nothing to do with doom mongering. Nobody knows if and when checks will be stricter, but everyone should know the possibility always exist that requirements will be checked, that does not need any rule change. Of course everybody has to decide if he or she wants to take the risk of using a visa and not complying to requirements.

@Peter ********

When you can read, you can see I not say anybody is rejected at the border. I only read about a few checks. But that is not the point of discussion here. The discussion is about how long visa requirements stay valid, and what might happen when you are entering the country or stay in the country when you do not comply with the rules. There is no reason to believe DTV is different from other visa. When you don't work anymore, the non-b stops, when you not study anymore, the non ED stops, when you not married anymore, the non-o stops. Why should this be different for DTV? There is no official document that states it this way. For a long time there were also stories TM47 reporting was not necessary because nowhere in DTV rules this was mentioned. By now most DTV holders know better, allthough I still read stories 90 day reporting is not for DTV.

@Kool ******

That there are no penalty's written in DTV regulations is perfectly normal. That is not necessary, since it is about entering or being in the country. It is up to IO if you can enter the country, the IO decides if and what to check. If the IO decides you try to enter the country against immigration and visa rules, he can refuse you entry, and when he thinks that is necessary take other legal proceedings. That has nothing to do with a specific visa. Same is applicable when you are stopped by police. They also have the right to check if you are in the country illegally and take actions. Chances that any of these situations will happen are not particulary high, but certainly not zero. Telling the officer that you were under the impression there are no rules because you never saw an extra warning about this after you applied for the visa will not help.

@Kool ******

where do you see requirements are void as soon as you are approved? A lot of people say so, but nobody can show any proof of that. I completely agree there are no checks at the moment other than on moment of approval and moment of in country extension, and incidentally when you enter the country. But having no checks does not mean the requirements do not exist any longer.
