Got the DTV and went down with no dramas at DMK. Just handed over a print out of my visa and said “DTV”.
Applied through Canberra consulate with a sponsor covering the financial requirement (didn’t need to show my bank account).
Took about 5 weeks.

You did it right 👍 Enjoy your next 5 years with the DTV visa for Thailand
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.
