its my first time entering Thailand, my dtv has been approved and I have printed it and have it with my passport. what other documents do I need to have ready to show immigration upon arrival?
Answer summary
If you are entering Thailand for the first time with an approved Digital Visa (DTV), you should have the following documents ready to show immigration upon arrival: your passport, a printed copy of your DTV, and possibly your boarding card. Additionally, it is recommended to have around 20,000 THB or the equivalent in cash in case it is required. The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) must also be submitted online, ensuring that your DTV number is correctly entered in the form.

It is always best to hand in a hard copy of your DTV with your passport even though you have entered the visa number on the TDAC. A visa holder on another group I'm in was only stamped in for 60 days visa-exempt because the IO didn't notice he was a DTV holder. They are only human and often run on auto pilot so I always hand in my passport, DTV and boarding card (not sure if boarding card is still needed or not). At my last entry early in November the IO was very excited to see my A6 laminated DTV and called her colleague over to show how easy it was to scan. She said she wishes all the visas were like this. Smiles all round and stamped in for 6 months

Tdac is submitted online, just ensure you enter your DTV No in the box marked visa on the tdac form..they can see all your info on their screens when you arrive, I just submit my passport, 1 min and through, keep life simple 🤷🏾‍♀️

Answer is you do not have to show physical evidence of TDAC. It comes up on the system when passport is scanned.

@Robert ******
wrong. The question was, what documents does he need to have ready to “show” immigration upon arrival.

Robert *******
สมองควาย ๒๕๖๘ Okay, you tell him that the arrival card is not needed.

I don't care unless you tell others who commented the TDAC the same lie.

as others have pointed out. The traveler does not need to show their TDAC. They only need to complete it before arrival. This is very clear and obvious to people who actually have experience in this area.

TDAC does not need to be shown, It shows up on screen when passport is scanned. So no need have a copy document
