Has anyone entered on their DTV for the first time and not printed it? Can it be shown on your phone (many have said they can see it on their computer system anyway)?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The question pertains to whether travelers can enter Thailand using a Digital Tourist Visa (DTV) displayed on their phone rather than a printed version. While some commenters suggest it's safer to print the DTV, one traveler shares their experience of successfully entering Thailand by showing it on their phone at Chiang Mai airport.

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

There are no print shops anywhere in your city?

Or you can go to a decent hotel, ask where the business "center" is and print there maybe?

It is requested to have a print out, might get lucky and not need it but might also get an IO with a bad day. Better safe than sorry, no?

Other options, a library, a school, maybe even try just at a car dealership or other store? The amount of times i walked into a furniture store or something and asked if i can print a page or two. You'll find that generally, people are helpful

Why not print it right away instead of wasting your time asking the question and waiting for an unfriendly answer? Yes, just print it!

Anonymous participant So what's the logic then? Asking people to later tell them you can't print it anyway? Try your luck or find a printer 🤨
