Arrived this morning on my second DTV entry. I entered the DTV visa number when I filled out the TDAC online so it was just hand over the passport, stamp and go. Took 30 seconds to go through. IO scans passport and the DTV visa shows up on screen. Fast

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user reported a smooth entry process into Thailand using their DTV visa. They entered their visa number in the TDAC online system, resulting in a quick passport check, which took about 30 seconds. Commenters appreciated the report and provided additional insights about the importance of visa presentation during entry.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Any time you don't hand over the visa, you risk being stamped incorrectly. Entering a visa number on the TDAC is not relevant to anything. The only the thing officer sees is that you submitted a TDAC. If they don't take the time to dig through your file to find your visa, there's a fair chance of being stamped in 60 days visa exempt out of habit like they do all day long for 95% of people.
