What documents do I need to present upon arrival in Bangkok?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
What do i need to show when arrive in Bangkok, just the DTV and TDAC certificates?
Answer summary
When arriving in Bangkok, you primarily need to show your passport. It's recommended to have your DTV (Digital Tourist Visa) and TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) readily available, either as printed documents or on your mobile device. Immigration officials will have your information in their system once you present your passport, but carrying a printout or screenshot of your DTV and TDAC can be beneficial. Additionally, it's advisable to keep around 20,000 baht (or equivalent) cash on hand, as this may be requested for verification. Always check the stamp in your passport to confirm the correct duration of your stay.

I arrived after a short break in Vietnam recently. They wanted to see everyone’s TDAC. You’ll need that, your e visa printed and your passport. I have heard of them asking for onward flight and financial details but didn’t see that happen.

Some like to show off as climate pollutants & parade with an A1 laminated dtv visa 🙈🤣

As long as you have entered your DTV no in the box marked "Visa" on your online TDAC form up to 3 days prior to your arrival, then just show your passport. The IO has everything on the screen in front of him..just check the stamp before leave immigration to ensure it's for 6 months. Enjoy, keep life simple

John Hampton the visa number is no mandatory field in the TDAC and can be left empty, as is the departure field, NOT mandatory

have a printout of your DTV at hand, along with your passport. Once they have scanned your passport, they will see you got a TDAC. It is good, however, to have a screenshot of the TDAC in your mobile. And don't forget: When you get your passport handed back, immediately check if you got stamped in correctly for 180 days (sometimes they stamp people in wrongly)

Greg Alexander 180 days? I thought it was just 60

No you won’t need it if it has been sent to you by email, they already have it o your profile
In fact they already have all your info when they scan your passport
The days of bullshitting at the immigration desk are pretty much over

Just show your passport, once checked they'll automatically know you have a DTV. It's also a good idea to have a copy 🤓
Alain **********
should have shown a old one
Alain **********
Charles Akkary she sent back to do another...even though I did it 3 days pevivious
Ian **********
Charles Akkary I always show them a copy as many ppl have reported being stamped for 60 day visa-exempt because the IO didn't check all the info on the screen
Greg *********
Ian Morrison true
Rob *******
+ 20k baht cash or equivalent... if they choose to check
Ian **********
@Rob ******
This is a requirement for visa-exempt entries and not visa holders. All visa holders have already provided financial verification.Graham ******
Ian Morrison it is a requirement for tourism entries actually and the DTV is a type of tourist visa ;)
Andi ***********
Yes, they very likely won't check as it is all online.
