TLDR : Answer Summary
To enter Thailand with a DTV visa applied for online, you need to print out the visa approval document sent to you via email and present it to the immigration officer upon arrival at the airport. There is no requirement to visit the embassy after applying online; the e-visa system is designed for direct entry using the printed approval.

You never go to the Embassy when you applied online, that's the idea of e-visa... 😉 So... just show the printout at the entrance point here, that's it. You'll get a stamp like this in your passport. If you apply in person at any Embassy or Consulate then you'll get a real sticker.

Just curious
@Stephan **********
why did you blank out the numbers that border that entry stamp?

That is the OFFICER who stamped you in's number nothing more.

Each officer has their own number and it's so they can trace sketchy stamps back to who issued it 😛

🤫 Don't, tell everyone... it's not my stamp... 🤐

About the numbers... I know and I had the same questions when I saw this picture... some people are a little bit too much about privacy. But I'm pretty sure to remember that it was an "anonymous" post... 😁

About "my" stamp... I'm waiting for the first round of extensions and the first guys that renewed their licenses (2y/5y ?) before I (maybe) change. Also still looking for a good "soft power"... cooking isn't really my thing and Muay Thai in my age? Not sure the Embassy would believe it... 🙄🤔

Just thinking... a little heart attack could be helpful to get some appointments at the hospital...😁
