TLDR : Answer Summary
Congratulations on your DTV eVisa approval! You do not need to go to the embassy to get a sticker for your passport. The PDF you received via email serves as your visa, so simply print it out and present it along with your passport upon arrival in Thailand. Ensure you fulfill the required TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) before traveling. When you enter Thailand, show your printed DTV visa to the immigration officer, where a stamp will be placed in your passport. Good luck on your travels!
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

For people asking to use an agent? I did mine in Sydney Australia with no agent and I was approved in 5 days.

It's the recommended path I would take as well, no agent!

I would not use any agent. Why you need an agent? You just need to upload few docs thru the eVisa website of the embassy of your choice
Kevin ******
Thanks Jose. I need the DTV so badly, but not sure which agent I should trust. All ask for upfront pay. I got screwed by an agent already and not sure who to trust for the DTV. Any advice?

Just print out your email approval and show with your passport when you enter Thailand and you will receive the DTV Stamp in your passport, just check the expiry date to ensure it’s correct after you receive the stamp. Enjoy 🤩

There is no sticker for the new DTV.

Anonymous participant 778 that’s right. I thought the immigration officer was going to place that cool sticker on my passport, but in the end it was just the usual stamp with hand written DTV and 180 days on it. Still I am glad I got the DTV visa approved 🙂
