(edited) The DTV launched in July last year, so during the past couple of weeks, the first visa holders who stayed the full initial 180 days should have started leaving and re-entering Thailand. For anyone who has recently done this, could you please tell us of your experiences. I am particularly curious about people who obtained their visa based on something short term (like a four month cooking class), and whether they were scrutinised by Immigration Officers on whether their original DTV justification is ongoing. Cheers.
