TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shares their experience of entering Thailand for the first time with a Digital Work Visa (DTV). They printed their DTV and TDAC forms, presented them at the Bangkok airport, and were not questioned by the immigration officer about their past student visa. The comments discuss how data is pre-checked, the validity of the DTV visa, and some initial worries about being questioned which turned out to be unfounded.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

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.

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 👌
