TLDR : Answer Summary

After your Thai e-visa is approved, it is advisable to print the document. Although it's not strictly necessary, having a printed copy can facilitate smoother processing at immigration. When you arrive in Thailand, you should present your printed e-visa along with your passport. The immigration officer will stamp your passport for a 60-day stay if everything is in order. It's also recommended to print additional documents such as your Thailand Pass, accommodation details, and flight information, as this preparation may help avoid delays.

Remember the COE?I had a half inch of paperwork that took nearly 2 weeks to get!If you have everything ready and 2 hard copies of everything no dramas,why are people so totally unprepared?

Print out the evisa. Write the visa number on your arrival card. Give the evisa to the Immigration officer with your passport. Get stamped in for 60 days.

Thailand is a paper country for official matters. Doesn't matter whatever you registered online and stuff, Just assume to have printed documents for immigration officers. If they don't check it, good for you. If they did ask, consider it a backup paper. It applies to most "proof of [something]" situations

If you plan to extend your visa you will likely need to bring the print out with you to immigration.

Just come through (2hours ago!) Asked to see it on the phone, everyhing seems a breeze now and everyone quite relaxed, quite different from 3 months ago, even the immigration staff was smiling and pleasant!!!

Check the date on the stamp. Make sure they don’t stamp you in for 30 days

Print everything. Your evisa, your ThailandPass, accommodation details and flights. In theory you don’t need to but you’ll be joining a line of people scrambling to show details via a phone and there’ll be another line of people breezing by with the correct paperwork.

good advice. Always be prepared for any eventuality. Better to have it and not need it than the opposite.

Print it because if you decide to extend you will need a copy

Yes, your visa and entry stamp are different. Print off the e-visa if you wish but don't believe it's 100% necessary. Your details are in their system and you'll get 60 day stamp on arrival, assuming you travel on the same passport that was on your visa application obviously

What additional documents do I need to show when arriving in Thailand to obtain a 6-month stamp with my visa?
