Glad to hear this is a print out.
I will be applying for mine while traveling inside the USA (my home county).
Was concerned they’d have to send me something while I won’t have a permanent address.

@Thomas ******
So what? That is how you apply for, it has nothing to do with printingLuit *****************
@Charles *********
you really do not see the difference between walk in or send a passport to an embassy and applying online?E-visa is not about printing or not.
A QR code is meant to be printed, and far better readable from paper.

@Thomas ******
so what… whatever you’re doing here, Thai immigration laws apply to you; and the law says you have to provide a printed copy of your evisa, what can’t you understand in this statement ?Thomas *******

@Charles *********
doesn’t make sense it’s just the rule.Romain ****
@Thomas ******
did I say it makes sense ? NO. Is it the rule ? YES. So you’re entering a country that fixed some rules, you agree to the rules or you visit another country, that’s as simple as that.Charles **********
OP@Thomas ******
I managed to print it but anyway before I just used my phoneThomas *******
@Romain ***

OP@Romain ***
what’s the point in e visa if you still need to print things 🤔Romain ****
@Thomas ******
by law it has to be printed. If the io accepts phone it’s fine. If he is on a bad mood, you can be refused he’s in his right.
