When entering Thailand do you need to physically present your DTV on paper or is it enough to enter it on the tdac form?
Answer summary
When entering Thailand, it is recommended to physically present the DTV (Digital Travel Visa) on paper, as this is the most straightforward approach for immigration officers. However, showing the DTV on your phone, including the QR code, is also generally accepted. It's advised to have the document ready, whether in print or on your mobile device.

When you read the instructions when you apply, you can see you should print it on paper and show it.

So that simply is the best way and most pleasant for IO.

Some lazy people just show their phone and in most cases that will be OK allthough less pleasant for IO.

You can show them the QR code on your phone.

They need to scan the visa, whether on paper or on your phone screen.. Just have it ready at hand.
