Do I need to print my 90-day visa for entry to Thailand or is a digital copy sufficient?

I arrive on Saturday with a 90 day visa for the first time

Do I have to print my visa off or is it OK to show the downloaded document on my tablet.

Thankyou

TLDR : Answer Summary

When arriving in Thailand with a 90-day visa, it's recommended to print a copy of your visa rather than relying solely on a digital version on your tablet. Multiple comments indicate that having a physical copy simplifies the entry process and is often required for further immigration paperwork, such as applying for extensions.

when you apply for the 1-year extension of stay permit on Immigration, EVERY Immigration will ask you to submit the copy of the printed out visa, signed by you in blue ink. It means you gotta need it in a print form anyways. So YES, print your visa and keep it in your document folder

Hand over your printed visa with your passport so the IO is aware of it then before walking away check that your permitted to stay date is what you expected
