When I arriving all I need is to show them my dtv and my Thailand Digital Arrival Card right? Or do I need more for entering the first time with my dtv fo digital nomads?
Answer summary
When arriving in Thailand for the first time with a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), you will generally need to show your passport, a printed DTV visa, and a boarding pass. However, while the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is linked to your passport digitally and may not often be required in print, it's advisable to print it out just in case. Additionally, be prepared to potentially show proof of accommodation, proof of onward travel, and sufficient funds (about 20,000 THB or its equivalent) although not every immigration officer will ask for these documents. It’s best to be over-prepared to avoid any complications.

A printout of your DTV and your passport, but you can also be asked to show 20k baht or equivalent in cash
- No need to show the TDAC - the IO sees that on the screen automatically and never asks for it.
- Print out the DTV visa (A3 - laminated or just A4 is fine) and give it together with your passport and boarding pass. The IO likes to scan the QR on your visa print, and it avoids the mistake of giving you the wrong stamp.
- There may be a question about the nature of your DTV for first timers, (for e.g. you work online? You take cooking class? etc.) but it's not a serious one. You'll most likely pass through without any issue.
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.
Immigration Officers are there for a purpose, they are allowed to ask more question.
