I had the same experience with my A6 laminated visa. The female IO showed her colleague how easy it was to scan

In fact laminating makes it less good to scan because of reflections.Ian **********

You’re welcome, I comment on every post relating to laminated DTV sheets because I think it’s hilarious 😆 that people would do such a thing with something that could be printed as needed. But you went one further and opted for A4. Thais love stationary related effort.Luit *****************
@Danza ******
I also print when needed, no need to use the same copy every time, and when you need it at immigration office they often don't return the copy.Jordan ********
@Luit ****************
they just scan the laminated DTV job done. Never had any issues with my laminated dtv, and they actually prefer itLuit *****************
@Jordan *******
For some things Immigration needs a copy for their files, so they ask you a copy.I really don't understand the laminating thing, I see only disadvantages.
