What do I need to arrange before traveling to Thailand again after exiting via e-gate?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi all,

I received the DTV in November 2024 and entered Thailand in November 2024 (I received an entry stamp). In February 2025 I exited Thailand, but I did not receive an exit stamp in my passport because I used the automated (photocell/e-gate) exit.

I am now planning to travel to Thailand again. Do I need to arrange anything in advance, or is it sufficient to present the previously issued visa? Do I need to provide proof of accommodation booking or any similar documents?

thank you in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks guidance on their upcoming trip to Thailand after previously entering with a DTV visa. Key concerns include whether they need to present any documents apart from their visa and whether accommodation proof is necessary. Community responses highlight that while it's not guaranteed that all documents will be requested, it's advisable to be prepared with items like a valid passport, visa printout, Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), proof of onward travel, accommodation confirmation, and financial means.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Thailand Immigration CAN ask these questions (I not say, you will be asked)

1. valid and genuine passport

2. IF you got a visa issued, a print out

3. Print of the Thailand Digital Arrival Card tdac.immigration.go.th

4. the Boarding pass

5. Proof of onward travel within the period you get stamped into this country

6. Proof of accommodation

7. Proof of finance, 20.000 Thb (40.000 Thb for family) or equivalent currency in CASH.

Not every visitor is asked to show all 7 points, it all depends on the Immigration Officer, but IF you get asked you have to show. IT saves a lot of time if you are prepared.
