Might sound as a stupid question but if you’ve been approved on a e-tourist visa do they still ask at border for the same documents again?(Accomodation, flight ticket, enough funds etc).

Also is it a different queue then the one for VOA?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When traveling to Thailand with an approved e-tourist visa, you typically only need to present your passport and visa at the border. However, it's advisable to bring printed copies of your accommodation, flight ticket, and proof of funds, as immigration officers may ask for these documents at their discretion. Travelers with e-visas usually go through a different queue than those applying for a Visa on Arrival (VOA), streamlining the entry process.

Always a good idea to print everything out like Brandon said but I’ve never been asked to show anything but my passport and visa in over 15 years of going to Thailand.

That said, the current immigration management has changed things quite a bit and any immigration officer can decide to ask questions so best to print it out and bring it just in case.

No just passport and visa

It's a tourist e-visa, not a e-tourist visa.

Bring everything with you printed out that you used to apply for the visa. Always have everything printed out when dealing with any bureaucracy in Thailand.

If you have a visa you get in the regular lines as you will not need to fill out an application and purchase a visa, since you already did that.
