Hi,

I need clarification, once you are approved for DTV visa, the visa is a paper or itll be stamped (sticker) on the passport?

I see people post both paper and sticker on passport.

How it works?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa is now issued as a PDF document rather than a sticker in the passport. Upon entering Thailand, an immigration official will stamp your passport with an extension of 180 days.

The visa is itself is PDF, but when you go through immigration they will stamp the extension of 180 days in your passport.
