Do I need to print my DTV visa or is showing the email confirmation sufficient?
Hi, do I have to print out the DTV visa or is it ok just to show the email confirmation?
Answer summary
It is generally recommended to print the DTV visa to present it at immigration, as officials prefer physical documentation. While some users confirmed they entered by only showing the email confirmation, others suggested that printing is safer in case of technical issues. Ultimately, having a printed copy facilitates the process and meets the expectations of Thai immigration officials.

Paper is so smart,
paper weighs nothing,
paper doesn't run out of battery,
paper doesn't require (forgotten) passwords,
paper doesn't auto-off after x seconds,
paper can be easily transferred,
paper doesn't require wifi.
And Thai officials love paper.

It's suggested and requested that you print out the visa and hand it over with your passport at immigration upon entry.
