all I said was in talking with immigration I was told there would be increased scrutiny on the soft power side because the program has seasoned 1 year in July and most soft power classes are 3 to 6 months. You have to maintain enrollment and participation in a class per every 180 day entry. You can't just sign up for 1 class for a few months and then think you have a 5 year pass to come and go as you please. No fear mongering just truth as the law stipulates a continued enrollment

the Immigration Act of B.E. 2522 1979. The act provides the legal framework for matters related to entering and departing Thailand, including grounds for excluding individuals and potentially revoking their visa or residency.

Common reasons for DTV visa revocation or potential issues that could lead to it include:

Overstaying: Remaining in Thailand beyond the permitted stay period (180 days per entry, extendable once) without seeking an extension or leaving and re-entering the country can result in a fine and potential travel ban.

Violation of Visa Conditions:

Engaging in unauthorized work: The DTV (Soft Power or Workcation) does not permit working for Thai companies without a separate work permit (Non-Immigrant B visa).

Failure to maintain financial requirements: While the initial requirement is 500,000 THB, embassies may have stricter criteria. Failure to demonstrate sufficient funds might be grounds for revocation.

Failure to comply with reporting requirements: For example, retirees under the Retirement visa are required to report their residential address every 90 days. Failure to comply can lead to visa cancellation or fines. It is prudent for DTV holders to also be aware of and comply with any applicable reporting requirements.

Not pursuing or ceasing participation in the "Soft Power Activity" (if applicable): While the DTV visa for Soft Power activities generally allows completing the initial 180-day stay even if you stop the activity, extensions may require proof of ongoing participation.

Criminal Activity: Individuals who are found to have a criminal record or engage in illegal activities in Thailand are subject to deportation and visa revocation.

Jeopardizing National Security or Public Order: The Immigration Act allows the Minister to exclude aliens from entering the Kingdom if their presence is deemed a threat to national welfare, public peace, or security.

Other potential grounds for exclusion listed in the Immigration Act: These include having no valid travel documents, insufficient means of living, mental instability or certain diseases, or being a person prohibited from entering the Kingdom.

immigration law is never baseless. There is specifically a dtv amendment and sub clause to include soft power. the Immigration Act of B.E. 2522 1979.

incorrect

In Thailand, a visa can be officially revoked by the Immigration Bureau, specifically the Immigration Commission, under the authority of the Minister of Interior
