Can I show my visa on my phone upon arrival in Bangkok if I cannot print it out?
Am concerned due to the uk bank holidays my tourist 60 day visa will arrive wednesday by email when I arrive in bangkok. Are there any places to print out the visa on arrival at the airport ? I believe showing visa on the phone isn’t accepted. Thanks for any info
Answer summary
The user is concerned about printing their 60-day tourist visa upon arrival in Bangkok due to UK bank holidays. While some suggest that the visa should ideally be printed out, others mention that electronic copies displayed on phones are accepted at immigration. Some users offered experiences where they faced similar situations and managed to enter Thailand without issues, indicating that the system is likely updated electronically and that immigration officers can pull up the visa if necessary.

It’s all done electronically now, it will be on the system, I’ve not been asked to show the printed version of my 60 day visa on the last 2 occasions

Same. One time I couldn't find it on my phone and they just pulled it up on their computer.

Are you flying direct? If you have a stopover somewhere and the visa has arrived, get it printed at your transit airport

yes did think this, will stop off at Dubai airportBobby ********
You can only try. If absolutely worse comes to worse just enter on 30-day visa exempt, then at the end of the 30, do a border bounce and activate the TR when you re-enter

OP@Bobby *******
can just do a visa extension at immigration anyway I assumeBobby ********
@Mark *******
Absolutely that's an option, and you still have the TR visa up your sleeve if you want to stay even longer. So you could in effect get five months stay, with just one border bounce. And you wouldn't be questioned at allBobby ********
@Mark *******
On the Thai side it's Aranyaprathet. It's probably the worst land border to attempt a bounce. You could well be sent to Siam Reap to get a flight back.Mark ********
OP@Bobby *******
where’s that ?Bobby ********
@Mark *******
Stay away from Poiphet borderMark ********
OP@Steve ******
good news 👍👍Steve *******
@Mark *******
Nope, never been a time limit.Mark ********
OP@Steve ******
ah ok for some reason I though they stopped allowing this a few years back ? Good news if notSteve *******
@Mark *******
There's no time limit. You can leave and return immediately.Bobby ********
@Mark *******
Depending on border, but most it's an out and back in, especially Laos land borders.Mark ********
OP@Bobby *******
how long do you have to stay outside the country to get the 30 days again? Is it 5 ?
Brandon ************
If you can't find anywhere to print it, it will be an annoying pain in the ass to you and everyone in line behind you, but they'll probably accept you showing it on your phone.
