Is laminating a Thai visa beneficial when entering the country?
I entered today for the second time at BKK with my DTV. And what can I say, the IO scanned the QR on my A6 sized laminated visa and after not even two minutes it was done. 😄
Answer summary
A user shared their experience entering Thailand for the second time with a laminated DTV visa, reporting a quick processing time at Bangkok's airport. Commenters affirmed that laminating visas can lead to smoother immigration experiences, though one individual recounted being advised against it due to potential negative perceptions from immigration officers.
