ORIGINAL POSTERI recently got my DTV! When I print it out, does it need to be full paper sized
Or can I shrink it down?
Or can I shrink it down?
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can print your Digital Thailand Visa (DTV) in a smaller size, though opinions vary. Some users recommend keeping it at the original size to avoid issues at immigration, while others have had success showing digital versions on their phones or using laminated smaller copies. Ultimately, it seems that having a digital copy may suffice, as immigration can check it via their system.

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

You can use it digital. ( photo ) From your phone. No need to print.

Yes you can reduce the size

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.

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)

Enjoy your 5 years of the DTV Visa. Safe travels ✈️...
