What do I need to bring for my first entry to Thailand with a DTV Visa?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Hello May I ask what should I bring the first time to enter Thailand with DTV? Also return ticket? But Iโm not sure yetโฆ
Answer summary
When entering Thailand for the first time with a DTV visa, you need to bring a printed copy of your DTV visa email, your passport, and the TDAC form. An onward ticket is not necessary for the DTV. Upon arrival, present these documents to the immigration officer and confirm that you receive a 180-day stamp in your passport.

Thank You for your helpful report ๐
Congratulations ๐๐๐
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 โ๏ธ 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.

I flew emirates and arrived on Monday - didnโt have an onward flight and was never asked about it.
At immigration you just need passport, boarding card, dtv printout and TDAC. I printed DTV and laminated it passport size like others - she scanned the qr code and asked me if I wanted to stay long time - I said yes, 180 days please, and she nodded and stamped my passport.
I had my TDAC done online beforehand and brought the print out but they never looked at it as Iโve seen others say. Should bring the printout though just to have everything.
People say to look for a female immigration officer too, thatโs what I did.
Good luck and enjoy your stay in Thailand ๐

Hope you get sorted with DTV easily and have a good one over here ๐

Johnny47 Yes just checked and hereโs a screenshot of mine - I left it blank as here on DTV - all good with immigration ๐

Anonymous participant 526 yeah make sense because long term like 180 days can be extended for another 180 so return flight not needed !! We are not returning we living there forever hahaha

Johnny47 Hi, good question actually but I think the return flight section of the TDAC can be left blank - if I remember correctly it doesnโt have an astrix beside it - not necessary to fill in if you donโt have a flight ( for the long term visa users )
Have another look, Iโm pretty sure this was the case for me and I left it blank. When immigration pull your TDAC up and you have your DTV visa they understand this to be the case ๐

I forgot to mention too that you should quickly check the stamp to make sure they havenโt made any mistakes once they hand it back.
Seen one or two instances pop up ( not many ) where someone has received the wrong stamp or wrong dates etc.
Worth double checking everything is as it should be.
Have a good one ๐

You do not need an onward ticket with a DTV, show your DTV upon Check In. You need to complete the TDAC and bring that with your DTV.

yeah mate , any non Thai has to do it regardless of the visa type.You can do it a few days before. Incase you forget they also have little stations at the airport you can do it when you land. If you donโt have it an que up to immigration they will turn you around to the back of the line
