Or can I shrink it down?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When printing your DTV visa, you have the option to shrink it down, although it's advisable to keep it at the original size to avoid potential issues with immigration. Some users report successfully using digital copies on their phones, while others recommend laminating the document. Make sure to follow the specific requirements of your airline and immigration officers.

My husband and mine are A6, we also wrote our Thailand address on the back then laminated them, fits nicely in our passports, always get positive response from IO on how our visa's are presented

We just had ours on the phone. Immigration didn't even ask for it, guess it's automatically linked on the system to our passports, and they can see it on their computers

As you are not expected to print it out at all, whatever format you want to print will not be a reason to reject you.

Wrong 😞 you are expected to PRINT OUT the Evisa you received from the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you applied for the visa using the Evisa online application system.

If printing, keep size as is.

Been rejected a few times at IO with shrunk down passport and visa pages. Just had to get them redone, no biggie

Cool idea, considering the stores I have heard from people who have had their document denied because they were damaged.

Many people are laminating the PDF of the DTV visa you received in the email from the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you applied for the DTV visa. Shrinking it down as seen below.

Show the DTV Visa to your airline on check-in for your flights ✈️ to Thailand...and to the Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival into Thailand.

@Ja***

thanks. This is helpful.

I have mine laminated and 3 sizes at the moment.

I just didn’t want to run into any issues by not having the full sized version (I will have it in my carry on just in case)
