TLDR : 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.

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.

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
