Users generally recommend printing out the DTV eVisa for entry into Thailand, as Thai immigration officials prefer paper documents over digital versions. Multiple comments suggest that having a printed copy ensures a smoother experience, citing that paper has no battery or connectivity issues, making it a safer choice.
