I 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.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

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.

NO..PRINT OUT THE EMAIL RECEIVED with the DTV Visa in it from the Thai Embassy or Consulate. Keep it with you as you show it again during the 5 years that it is valid.

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.
