Hello guys! I have a couple of question please. I just got my DTV approved 2 hours ago

1. Can I go to thailand as soon as tomorrow?

2. Do I need a flight tick out of thailand?

3. Do I need to print the pdf file with my DTV? or it's enough to show it on my phone?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has recently received approval for their Digital Visa (DTV) and is seeking clarification on three main points: whether they can travel to Thailand immediately, if they need a return flight ticket, and if they need to print their visa approval document. Community responses confirm that they can travel as soon as tomorrow, do not require a flight out of Thailand, but it is strongly recommended to print their DTV for presentation during immigration.
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.

(1) Yes - many people enter Thailand as soon as possible (like tomorrow) upon receiving the visa approval.

(2) No Need

(3) Yes - printed eVisa is strongly recommended as most officers prefer the paper documents to the digital ones on your phone.

Extra - don’t forget to complete TDAC - Thailand Digital Arrival Card before you go!

The instructions say print it out and have it with you. Why not simply follow the instructions instead of worrying about it

Out of curiosity, how long did your visa take from last document request?

6 business days since I sent the additional documents. But I suspect that the key is the date of arrival to thailand that u put on your application.. I might be wrong, but I think that they take that in account.

1. You can even go today.

2. No need.

3. You just need to fill in your visa number on TDAC and they'll know. They didn't even look at my visa.

regarding #3, I had the same experience. They didn't look at my printer DTV. Though, I'd say it's better to bring a printed copy
