How do I get the sticker in my passport after my DTV is approved by email?
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!

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.

correct ✅ and keep copies of the Evisa email with the DTV Visa in it.Elías ********
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...
Elías ********
@Stephan **********
the visa is not the email, but the PDF file they sent, which has the header THAI E-VISA (uppercase are theirs).

the sticker is also just a piece of paper, but I agree it looks much more impressive.Stephan ***********
@Luit ****************
Nah... I refuse to call it visa... it's not a real visa... a real visa has to be a sticker in my passport... 🤣Before someone call the ambulance on me... I'm just kidding...
Luit *****************
@Stephan **********
and that piece of paper IS the visa.Stephan ***********
@Elías *******
Well... that's what I meant... but it's still just a piece of paper... ;-)
Tim *******
Print the pdf visa you get via email and carry it with you. That's all you need!

@Tim ******
is good to have a print out. Some have accidently gotten upon arrival and had to go hassle with fixing it.Stephan ***********
@Jason ********
It's never wrong... definitely...Stephan ***********
@Tim ******
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.Elías ********
@Stephan **********
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.Tim *******
@Stephan **********
you are correct you don't need it at the airport but you will need it for TM30 or any other document you may need to get.Stephan ***********
@Tim ******
Okay... right... you're "ahead" already... I was talking about entry. But anyway... saved on the phone plus printouts is never wrong.Stephan ***********
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... ;-)
Steph ******
I was wondering the same thing.
Stephan ***********
@Steph *****
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.Steph ******
@Stephan **********
but what about the initial DTV sticker that states it’s a 5 year visaStephan ***********
@Romain ***
Nope, not mine... somebody posted it in the group. Can't find the post now, but if I remember right this handwriting is the expiration date of his passport.
Romain ****
@Stephan **********
is it your visa ? Why did they put this expiration date *****
/2026 hand written ?Stephan ***********
@Steph *****
If you want a sticker like this you must apply in person somewhere. Otherwise no sticker... not anymore... never again... 😁Stephan ***********
@Steph *****
There is no sticker if you did it online... there will never be a sticker, just these entry stamps and your confirmation mail... :-)Activity
