Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

You can pretty much do whatever you want at this point. I booked a hotel in Bangkok for the DTV because the address, district, sub district, etc. was easier to figure out lol. Then I canceled as soon as I got approved. I think I did have the correct Hotel down for my TDAC but at that point you’re three days out so you probably will have a hotel by then? At least for the first few days? I do not recall any minimum of nights being required.
