TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired whether they need to print their DTV visa prior to traveling to Thailand or simply show 20,000 Baht at immigration. The community advised that it is important to print out the DTV visa email as proof for airline staff during check-in and also to present it at immigration upon arrival in Thailand. Additionally, showing proof of funds (20,000 Baht) may be necessary at immigration.

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.

WHY did you feel the need to make such a negative reply? This forum is to help folks with their questions. No question is foolish. If you want to belittle others, go find another sandbox to play.

so rude. But you used an agent to apply and was still stressed out applying. Staying with your parents to save money during your application, you are so smart and not so lazy 😂🤣

Anonymous participant 548 I paid the agent. Its not some free service like just a question here. And whats the problem to stay with my parents for 2 weeks time? Thats my home town. I shared my experience here instead of asking silly questions without doing any research.
