Do I need to print my Thai Tourist Visa, or can I show it on my phone?
Once you have your Tourist Visa sent to email, do i need to print it out and stick it to passport or can i just show the pdf file right out of my phone?
Answer summary
The consensus among commenters is that while it's possible to show your Tourist Visa on your phone, it is recommended to print it out instead. Several users caution against attaching anything to your passport, as this could cause problems with immigration. A printed copy can facilitate the immigration process, especially if the officer needs to scan the QR code. Some commenters suggest having both a printed version and a digital copy for convenience.

Never stick anything to your passport. Probably rhe fastest surest way for being detained, passport forfeited and worse. Just print it out

When you fill out your TDAC prior to arrival it asks for your visa number , when you receive your QR code all this information goes onto the Immigration system so regardless of where you arrive as soon as the IO enters your passport number all this information will appear on his screen .

Do not deface passport or you will have a problem just keep a printed copy to hand

Do not stick anything in your passport, just insert it without attaching it to a page

Print it out for immigration Thailand as previous comments under no circumstances attach it into your passport! Make sure you have your incoming boarding pass too ... some IO ask to see it others don't!

I always carry a folder of various paperwork. I just hand the Visa and passport to the immigration officer - no need to fold or attach to passport.
Mikkel *******
Do not under any circumstances stick anything to your passport! That could invalidate the passport entirely.
Print the visa, fold it up and put it in the passport. If you are afraid it will fall out, use a paperclip 📎

Mikkel Kruse this is not true!

Mikkel Kruse Cambodian immigration often staple things to my passport, I too cringe every time but so far ok, I agree don’t do it to yourself.
Mikkel *******
Gall Barry yeah, Thai immigration does the same. But it is different when they do it. They are allowed to. They can also put stamps etc in there, while if you yourself, or anyone else not an immigration authority alter the passport in any way, and they notice, then it's game over. New passport is needed.
