I received this email today. I had applied on August 6, and later submitted the additional documents requested on August 14. Today, I had my interview at the embassy, where I was told to wait for one week. However, when I got home and checked my email, I was surprised to find this message.

Could you please guide me on the next steps? Do I need to visit the embassy again to have the visa sticker placed on my passport, or is this email sufficient? Also, should I keep this document with me for the next five years?
Answer summary
The individual received an email from the embassy after their visa application interview, expressing uncertainty about the next steps, particularly regarding the visa sticker placement and whether to keep the email for future reference. Community responses indicate that the email confirmation is generally sufficient for entry into Thailand, with many suggesting to print it and keep it with the passport. Users recommended being aware of the 180-day stay limit, the need to report residence after 90 days, and the possibility of extending the visa. Overall, guidance was provided on handling the visa after receipt.

Print it - and keep with your passport - you will have to show it every time you enter. With the DTV you can stay up to 180 consecutive days - it is possible to extend for another 180 days but many do not recommend it as you may be asked to resubmit all the paperwork. So you should plan on leaving the country before you reach 180 days - even one day is fine now that you have the visa ( it is good for multiple entries during the issuance period.) Another thing you should know is that if you stay 90 consecutive days you need to report your residence to the immigration authorities - the first time you do so you should do in person - after that you can do online - you can do the registration I think 2 weeks before - if you report late you get a fine - try to avoid that. Hope this is helpful

No, just download and print.

They will stamp your passport when you are at the airport in Thailand

Participant(e) anonyme it’s a regular entry/exit stamp.

Is it a regular entry/exit stamp or a visa stamp? Some countries issue visas directly in the passport as a stamp instead of a sticker. Keeping an e-Visa for five years doesn’t seem practical. Thank you for your kind response.
