TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about filling out the DTV form upon arrival in Bangkok with a retirement multiple entry visa. Comments clarify that travelers should fill out a TDAC instead of a DTV and suggest that whether this can be done at the airport depends on the airline's requirements. There are comments about waiting times for TDAC completion and the distinction between a retirement visa and the actual stay permit.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

I don’t understand the question.

"I have a retirement multiple entry visa" . . . . . .there is nothing such. . . you do not have any kind of "visa" anymore . . . . . . you have an individual stamp that says you got a 1-year stay permit (based on being over 50/ retired). For this stay permit you bought a re-entry permit, which is a second individual stamp . . something like this:

A OA visa is a multi entry one year visa do some research

@Bob *********
a Non-Imm-O/A visa officially is a LONGSTAY VISA, not a "retirement visa". I suggest YOU do some research!

@Bob *********
the multi entry Non-Imm-O/A visa is not a "retirement visa". It is officially called "Longstay Visa". And I strongly doubt that the threadstarter has an O/A visa. He rather is already on a "1-year Extension of Stay based on retirement" for which he bought a multi re-entry permit. Wrong wording in these groups is omnipresent

Well said

@Keith ******
it would be well said if he was right. But he is wrong. The threadstarter talks about a ""I have a retirement multiple entry visa" . . . . a Non-O/A visa is not a "retirement visa" (this is the Non-O visa!) . . . The Non-O/A visa is officially called a "Longstay Visa" by Thai embassies and Immigration

Doing the TDAC AT THE AIRPORT

MAY TAKE 20 MINUTES OR UP TO 2HOURS. DEPENDING ON HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WAITING.

THERE ARE ONLY 5 OR 6 MACHINES.

BEST TO DO IT AT HOME

agreed should be only for those who didn’t know oh forgot

@Frank *********
why would anyone wait to fill it out? You can do it 72 hours prior to the start of your entry

You don't fill out a DTV. You fill out a TDAC.

Whether you can wait until you arrive at the airport or not will depend on your airline. Some airlines will require you to show them you have already done the TDAC before they will let you on your flight to Thailand, while others will not care.
