Came into Bangkok airport today, had my DTV printed and my TDAC. Gave both documents and my passport, no questions just a smile from the immigration officer and stamped within 2 mins. Not everybody is being questioned at immigration for those worrying about it.
Answer summary
A recent traveler shared a positive experience at Bangkok airport, stating that their DTVER and TDAC documents were processed quickly without any questions from immigration. Other comments indicate that not all travelers face questioning, with some suggesting that only those who may not comply with visa rules experience difficulties. The discussion also clarified what a TDAC is, confirming it's the digital arrival card, and highlighted varying experiences among travelers.

Same for me i even dont show my TDAC because you already fill your TDAC on the DTV sheet you dont need to do a second time on the TDAC site

People worrying about being questioned, most likely do not comply with visa rules or have to hide something else, otherwise questioning just is no issue at all.

The fact you are not questioned will not reassure them because there always is a chance to get questioned.

I've left and re-entered four times. Never had anything printed, and never been asked. I'm firmly established in their database. Passport only. Less than 30 seconds, waved through

It seems only anonymous participants have the most issues.

When you have issues when questioned, because something is wrong, I perfectly can understand you tell such a story anonymous,

Thank you for the update. You are correct, not everyone is questioned and it's a small minority that have "difficulty" on arrival as a DTVER.
