Just enterd Thailand trough Bangkok airport first time with the DTV visa. printed the dtv, and dtac. Handed it too the officer. She did not ask me anything. Also not about my student visa before 🙂
Answer summary
A user shared their first-time experience entering Thailand through Bangkok airport with a DTV visa. They mentioned that upon arrival, they presented their DTV and TDAC forms but were not questioned by the immigration officer about their previous student visa. Other commenters reassured that the DTV is a valid, approved visa and that the system has all necessary data, which can lead to a smooth entry process without extensive questioning.

I found it funny. Why would you be worried you have your dtv you get in. Due diligence was already done

They already have your data on the system when you filled in the tdac and know you have a dtv. I just presented my passport a min later,stamped for 180 days.

The Tdac makes entry much quicker too.

the funny point is when the government implemented the TDAC, many foreign people keep complaining, they never like anything and usually complain only ka

Likewise, I presented my printed DTV and the officer didn´t even take a look at it and stamped me for 180 days. Tdac makes it all smoother 👌
