of course I don't believe that specific troll post. But what I say is that it's not out of place for an IO to check you still fulfill the requirements of the visa you have. I mean, they've done it all the time with other types of visas too.

Participante anónimo then one can tell to the officer: "I did my muay thai course already, and finished it. Now I'm just a tourist (on the DTV) for the remaining 4 years, any problem with that?"

If you were granted a visa based on a muay thai course, what's wrong with the IO trying to confirm that you're attending it? 👀

@Alessandro **********

yes, make sense from a Thai perspective under the current situation

@John *********

you mean TrueMoney? From there that app can not only pay almost everywhere, but also transfer to any Thai bank account within seconds.

@Brandon ***********

that's a gray area, then. It's technically a tourist visa, but one of the requirements to grant it is to have certain money in the bank for several months. I'd assume it should be more appropriate to show one's bank balance than cash, but who knows. I normally have more than 20K on my TrueMoney always, which is literally like cash for all Thai matters.

@Brandon ***********

what about people with visas, such as ED? DTV? Retirement?

@Jazzie ****

that's true for other visas, not for the DTV.

There aren't any DTV rules updates 🤷🏻 In contrast, the stricter entry rules are for visa exempt entries.
