What are the concerns and experiences of DTV visa holders in Thailand regarding soft power courses?

Elías ********

Participante anónimo each country has weak visas and strong visas. Although I'm a DTVer myself (remote work, tho) I know this visa isn't strong compared to others. So the advice is, don't plan to make a life in another country while on a temporary visa (yes 5 years is still temporary compared to permanent visas).

Participante anónimo As I said, let the IO decide. If it's not a rule or requirement, the IO would tell you're welcome to enter again, otherwise, the IO would tell you that you can't enter because your course already finished long ago.

@Christopher **********

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? 👀
