If you have an iPhone you can scan in your notes app

Select new note

Just press on the paperclip 📎 symbol at the bottom and select scan documents

Or if you are in IOS 26 use the preview app to scan your documents

Why? Take a simple photo using your phone, and upload that. It isn't the 90s anymore.

Do you need to present a paper version of your DTV when entering Thailand, or is it sufficient to show it on the TDAC form?
