What are the '3 Proofs' required when entering Thailand with a DTV Visa?
I just arrived from Taipei to Chiang Mai 12/13/26 11:00.
The airport was not crowded.
Immigration had many officers waiting for us.
I showed the officer my DTV Visa stapled in the passport.
He asked no questions, smiled and said “ Welcome to Thailand."
I checked my passport and was correctly stamped in for 180 days.
NOTE: there was a typed document in multiple languages pasted on the immigration window saying, “Please show your hotel or address where you will be staying".
Remember this is one of the "3 Proofs"that we hear about. I was not asked but I had a reservation for a $4 hotel.
How many of you remember the other 2 "Proofs"?
Addendum: This was was entry number 6 through CNX, DMK and BKK since getting the DTV 1 year ago.
Thailand has served as a very convenient hub to travel to neighboring countries n past years. Make sure you are looking like a traveler, not a resident, and you should be fine.

Was it your first entrance on your DTV cliff? Or have you have the DTV a while?
I’m getting my DTV in a month and got told to go to Bangkok to get my first stamp as Chiang mai can be a nightmare on your first entrance
