ORIGINAL POSTERDo I need to print out the DTV page for immigration?
I’m heading to Thailand tomorrow and just realized I misplaced my printed out DTV, and no printer. Do I need to have it printed out for immigration at the airport? Or is it already in their system?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When arriving in Thailand, you do not necessarily have to print out the DTV page for immigration, as it can be sufficient to show a picture or PDF on your phone. However, some travelers have reported that immigration officials preferred a printed copy. It is generally advisable to have the document available in both formats, if possible.

Keep a picture or the PDF on your phone. That will suffice

Not a must but better. Show them the pdf on the phone! On any case check your stamp as technically only the entry point can amend a wrong stamp
