Do I need to print my DTV visa and gym letter for entry into Thailand?
I got approved DTV Mauy Thai. Gym issued me a letter as well. Do I need to print A copy of visa and letter to bring along at BKK upon arrival and every future 180 re-entry?
I read many posts, i.e people made some kind of small book with visa letter or plastic Laminated etc.
Inputs ......
Update: sorry to mentioned I used Los Angeles consulate and received approval letter on Sunday afternoon.

Answer summary
The general consensus among users is that you should print out your DTV visa approval letter and carry it when entering Thailand, as it may be required for airline staff during check-in and immigration upon arrival. The gym letter is not necessary to print. Some expats have recommended laminating the visa approval letter for durability, while others have successfully presented their visa on their phones. It's also advised to ensure you check the immigration stamp upon entry to confirm your 180-day allowance.

I always have a physical print out of my visa and my DTAC and hand it over with my passport. It is a small effort to carry it and best to be prepared.

, upon returning to the USA to apply for DTV, I completed a 90-day stay and subsequently spent 25 days in Vietnam. During my re-entry at BKK, I was interrogated by an Immigration Officer, despite it being my first 90-day stay. I had to clarify my plans and presented my return ticket to the USA on the 57th day.MK ****
i may just do the 90 day stay, an then go from there

That's the same falsehood that many of my "WORKING by Choice" friends in the USA rationalize their being A Worker Bee. I remember an oncologist who was 80s, still working, and I understand his commitment. He was truly saving lives. If you share that same sense of purpose—doing something for humanity or the universe Rather than just for a paycheck, visa dependency etc —then I commend you. On the other hand, many people have their own motivations, such as being a SIMP, supporting a local young lady and her family, or living beyond their means, all of which depend on their individual circumstances, right?

decide to read only part of info, you might miss important info.
That might also
explain why you have sometimes completely wrong conclusions about DTV requirements

On your next break keep your posts short. I never press on see more with your comments.Luit *****************

You are the dreamer with fantasies, not me.And again, you are wrong, I am not day dreaming and there is no reason to go to work.
I wonder how you can be always wrong, statistically you should say correct things every now and then by coincidence, but somehow you manage to get a 100 percent score with wrong info.
Congratulations with that!

Luit van der Linde Stop day dreaming and get back to work.

Thank you, but not really neccessary, I am fine and am happy with my situation.Luit *****************

You are clearly not good at judging how someone is feeling; as always, you are completely wrong again, but for a troll, that is perhaps not so strange.What made you think I am bitter? I was just making a joke with joker
@Chris *********
I work when I like to work, and don't work when I don't like.For a DTV holder there are only 4 choices.
1 = workcation, digital nomad which means you have to work like me.
2 = softpower/medical which means following activity or intensive medical treating
3 = dependant of DTV holder, which might be the best because no obligations
4 = abusing the visa and do like there are no obligations and just have holiday.
I did choose for 1, I don't like 2, I am not eligible for 3, 4 is illegal and therfore nor an option for me.

I don't print out. I enter the visa number when I do the TDAC or show him the visa on my phone.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
