No issues at Thai immigration at the airport.

I presented a copy of my DTV. And passport that was it. Stamped for another 180 days.

It’s how it should be, they already know you have a DTV from your tdac online form. I believe this is helping to facilitate quicker entry and even faster for those DTV holders 👌

I agree the TDAC filed online with your DTV visa number makes it easier now, no questions needed. Just a stamp.

wait, so u can stay 180 + 180 in a year, with this visa?! because I found out that I can stay 90 days without a visa, but only 180 days in 1 year 🥲

the DTV is valid for 5 years.

You can enter Thailand for 180 days but have to check in every 90 days . You can extend for another 180 days in a calendar year.

That’s what I’ve done
