ORIGINAL POSTER

Question: I got the DTV approved via E-Mail.

How do i get the sticker in the passport? Will they automatically stamp it next time i will travel to Thailand? Or do i need to go to my local embassy (which is 3-4 hours by car).

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

After receiving your DTV visa approval via email, there is no need to visit the embassy or get a sticker in your passport. You should print the PDF visa from your email and carry it with you when traveling to Thailand. Present the printed visa upon entry, as the eVisa system operates primarily online, eliminating the need for physical stickers or stamps.

The E-visa website requests and requires you to print out the PDF visa and present the visa printout to the officer upon entry.

There's no sticker. You print the visa (the PDF file) yourself.

That's not "the visa", that's just the confirmation that you hold it... 😉

But yes... save it on the phone and carry a printout... you never know...

the visa is not the email, but the PDF file they sent, which has the header THAI E-VISA (uppercase are theirs).

Nah... I refuse to call it visa... it's not a real visa... a real visa has to be a sticker in my passport... 🤣

Actually you don't even need the printout for the Immigration, because they can see in the system that this passport holds a DTV. But it's never wrong to have a piece of paper... just in cases the phone die or whatever.

Thai Immigration doesn't need it at all, that's right, but some airlines won't let you board to Thailand with a one way ticket unless you show a visa or something.

Another thing... since there seems to be some confusion in the last days... the idea behind the eVisa system is, that everything will be done online. There is no need to visit the Embassy or the Consulate. And also they don't want to see you there anymore... ;-)

When you enter they can see in the system that you hold a DTV and will give you a stamp. Just in cases carry a printout and just arrive.

but what about the initial DTV sticker that states it’s a 5 year visa

If you want a sticker like this you must apply in person somewhere. Otherwise no sticker... not anymore... never again... 😁
