TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking guidance on necessary documents for immigration upon returning to Thailand on a DTV softpower visa after an absence of six months. Responses highlight the importance of having a valid passport, printing the DTV visa, and completing the Thailand Digital Arrival Card prior to travel.
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.

1) Passport with at least 6 months of validity remaining

2) Print out your DTV visa (many people have made an A4 size print out and laminated it).

3) Make sure you complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) 3 days before you leave.

As simple as that.
