Can I apply for the DTV Visa online and use the approval PDF for entry into Thailand without going to the Embassy?

ORIGINAL POSTERI just have a question if we apply DTV Visa in online. When we get approve, we will receive PDF file, right ? And we print out and can use it to show Thai Immigration when we entry Thailand. I mean we don’t need to go to the Embassy where we apply to stamp visa into our passport ? We just print paper to show them right ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for the DTV Visa online, and upon approval, you will receive a PDF file. You can print this document or show it on your phone at Thai Immigration upon entry. It's advisable to print several copies for potential future use. While the immigration officers should have your visa information in their system, they will want to see the printed document, and they will stamp your passport at that time.

Yes print it to show when crossing they have it on their system anyway but they will want to see it. They will then stamp your passport make sure you check it is 6 months stamp .

BUT your airline may want to see the DTV visa email you received from the Thai Embassy or Consulate. Print out several copies of the DTV visa.Reply to

especially at the Airport check-in, staff oftentimes pass around the Thai Visa you are on to get boarding approval by the supervisor. With print out of the Evisa email it's best to hand it to staff for their use vs your phone.Reply to
