TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus in the community is that it is advisable to print out the DTV visa instead of relying solely on a digital version on your phone. Several users emphasized that having a printout is essential due to potential issues like phone battery failure or technical difficulties. Although some believe a QR code on a phone could suffice, most respondents stressed the importance of following the official instructions that suggest printing the visa for clarity and security.

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.

When logging into the e-visa portal you are instructed to print out the visa. Please follow the instructions.

That's a fact, but that doesn't prevent you from showing it on your phone.

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.

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.

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.
