How smooth is the entry process to Bangkok with a DTV visa?
COME BACK TO BANGKOK IN 2026!
Hello guys, and hello haters…
Today I just came back to Bangkok after spending New Year in Hanoi. I think this is my 6th or 7th entry using DTV already.
Oops—sorry about my cute, compact, passport-size DTV 😌 Yes, it’s printed and laminated.
The officer took my passport and my tiny DTV, said “DTV,” then matched the visa number with the system…
Stamp. Done.
No questions.
No drama.
No horror stories.
One more thing:
If you want to save the planet by not printing your visa, go ahead—save the world 🌍
As for me, I enjoy plastic and convenience.
Haters will come anyway.
Good luck to those still applying, and welcome back to Bangkok! 🇹🇭✈️

How nice for you, and completely unnecessary.
I have mine saved on my phone, however, during my most recent entry (Nov 1st) the IO didn't want to see it as it was already on her screen.
I suppose it's a nice flex item though. Enjoy!

The IO loved my printed A6 laminated DTV and called her colleagues over to show how easy it was to scan. Smiles all round and stamped in for six months in under a minute

I have one too. It's strictly speaking, not necessary, to have this printed, but I felt like the immigration officers were more nice when I handed it over. Shows that you are well prepared. I didn't get questioned about return flights or any other info either. Just smooth entry to the country, which is always a good feeling after many hours on a plane.
