Has it been confirmed that DTV holders who had to replace their passports due to lost/stolen passports have been denied entry on DTV? I've also heard that your visa status will be identifiable with your fingerprint. Maybe this person should try entering on the DTV or see if they make him come in visa-exempt.

The LTR visa has a higher application fee but passive income is eligible past a certain threshold. If you still want the DTV, you may very well qualify with a SP activity or your job if it's remote. I'm not very informed about the LTR visa, so you'd have to do your own research.

Is this real estate rental business passive income, or do you earn employment income from this? I think the second one is the one eligible for the DTV.

You should be able to click on the list of applications somewhere on the evisa platform. Sorry, I don't remember where and I can't access it now. But you can click on the application you submitted and see a popout of the personal information as you submitted it.

That's strange. I've only entered three times though on the DTV, and once was with an agent. I haven't had any questions.

Which airport was this? Where were you flying from?

Congratulations. What documentation do you provide to establish remote work for your restaurant?

I don't know what reason you have not to believe them. I haven't been questioned when arriving in Thailand, but it's not unheard of for IOs, not necessarily in Thailand, to ask questions verifying the purpose of stay. From their reports, the common thread through all of them is that they're arriving in CM fresh from getting their DTVs. I think they might have started doing this because there were fairly large groups of people with DTVs entering Chiang Mai on each flight from Vietnam. In my case, I also arrived in CM as my first port of entry from Taiwan, but I was not questioned at all, but I was probably the only DTV holder on the flight.

Almost all the accounts of having trouble on entry are from travelers arriving in Chiang Mai. I have a theory that most of them have recently received DTVs in Vietnam and are entering Chiang Mai for the first time. At this point, there aren't enough reports from DTV holdersto confirm commonalities.

Well, this data's incomplete until we have a report on entering Chiang Mai.
