Do I need to present my DTV physically printed? Thanks all for the advice.
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around whether or not a physically printed copy of the Digital Visa (DTV) is necessary for entry into Thailand. Several participants suggest printing the visa as a precaution, although some argue that having it stored on a phone is sufficient, citing experiences of re-entry into Thailand without issues. Overall, the consensus leans towards bringing a hard copy to avoid any potential complications.

No. Just keep it in your phone. Re-entered 4X doing this.

Can someone screenshot where the official email states you need it printed and laminated? 😂

As soon as they scan your passport is shows up on there screen, I’ve actually seen it, but always print just in case.

Yes you have to laminate an A5 copy so it is slightly to big for your passport according to people in this group 😛 (oh and so the QR code is too small to scan)

You can be asked to show a physical copy. It is always best to bring a hard copy in case of connection issues on arrival.
