TLDR : Answer Summary
Many travelers who have entered Thailand with an approved Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) reported a smooth experience at BKK airport. Most indicated that they were only required to show their passport and some specific documents related to the DTV. While some travelers suggested having printed documentation ready, others noted that they were rarely asked for anything beyond their passport. Overall, it seems that the entry process is generally straightforward for those holding a DTV.

I have been through 9 times…the last was yesterday…and the male and female I/O’s never asked for anything except.

Yes I am careful to have copies of all the documents but I think it’s all scaremongering by unscrupulous people wanting money or attention.

Very easy, i show TDAC on phone, and DTV passport sticker that's all. no challenging questions asked in 10 or so arrivals. If you have a DTV PDF print it out, some IOs ask for the print out.

I've flown in 4 times and never been asked anything. Not even a "how are you today?"
