What are the realities of living in Thailand on a DTV visa, and how does it differ from other visa categories?

@Andi **********
 I very much doubt immigration will be examining foreign tax records even as part of an extension of stay. Not their jurisdiction and they've already stated this won't be happening.

 Well, to be fair, there are other visas such as the LTR, but they're more difficult to qualify for.

What should I know about the immigration process for DTV holders during border runs in Thailand?

@Rogerio *****
 Unless you have a Thai passport, you're not Thai though. You'll be treated as a foreigner. No different to the millions of Chinese visitors who enter Thailand every year and don't have any privileges.

@Greg *****
 Maybe, maybe not. The DTV still isn't seen that often so for some IOs, they don't know what to do.

 A job isn't really needed; however, they could always put up the minimum amount of funds to 1 million Baht or higher.

Do financial requirements for the DTV visa need to remain in your account consistently or just during verification?
Paul *******
You can pull it out as soon as you've received the visa. I started transferring money back out a day or two after I got the visa.

What is the purpose of an interview for DTV in Pakistan?
Paul *******
Its more of a document check than an interview. It's nothing like a US visa interview.
