does DTV require mailing your passport to an embassy? or do you get the stamp when you land in BKk?
Answer summary
The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) process does not require mailing your passport to an embassy. Instead, Thai visas are now issued online, and your visa will be sent to you as a PDF document via email. Upon arrival in Thailand, you will receive an entry stamp, not a physical visa in your passport, as you already possess the visa in digital form.

There's no such thing as Thai visas in passports anymore. All Thai visas through an embassy or consulate are done online, and your visa will be a pdf document that is emailed to you. The only thing you'll receive when you arrive in Thailand is an entry stamp, not a visa, as you already have the visa that you received in your email.
