TLDR : Answer Summary

You do not need to go to the embassy to get a physical visa stamped in your passport. The dtv visa you received is an e-visa, valid for five years, and you will receive a 180-day stamp each time you enter Thailand.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

No, this is the e-visa you’ll have and keep for five years and you’ll get a 180 days stamp each time upon entry.
