You are talking about workcation, not soft power.

@John *****

Just get a multiple entry permit.

Yeah, but it would be consistent with the other inconsistencies between embassies, immigration offices etc.

Nicely done.

@Dave ****

Is that your home country?

Wise transfer into a Thai bank account.

@John ******

The link mentions all foreigners with DTVs being pulled aside.

@Tim ****************

When you say "you'll be fine for a couple of years" did you mean 5 years (the life of the DTV)?

@Mercy ********

It looks like there are no guarantees with border bounces either. There are reports on here of people being grilled and asked for stuff that they never had to show when getting their DTV. That being said it appears that the chances of issue free re-entry into Thailand on a DTV are better with border bounce vs. extension. I just want to stress that it's not completely issue free. :)

@Brendan *****

It depends on where you apply as to what you need to show. Check with whoever you will go through for firm details.
