First DTV stamped at the suvarnabhumi airport. The IO was efficient and didn’t ask anything.🫡 I hope this experience could give everyone a peace of mind as long as you prepared your passport, visa paper, boarding pass and submitted your arrival card ( I used THIM the newly introduced official app. You don’t have to show the qr code as it is straight to the system and the officer can view it from the monitor. But of course you should at least screenshot it just in case.)
Answer summary
This post discusses the experience of entering Thailand on a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The original poster shares that they had a smooth experience with the immigration officer, who did not ask any questions as long as the necessary documents (passport, visa, boarding pass, and arrival card) were prepared. Comments from others confirm similar experiences, noting that fast track services can expedite the process but are not mandatory for a successful arrival.

Mine was the same. Was in line for all of 10 minutes, literally 30 seconds with the officer. Stamped everything with no questions or drama.

Agree. Arrived 2 days ago through fast track. Gave passport and visa. No questions or checking and that was for 2 people.

Well yeah… you used fast track. He’s talking about a normal arrival. Of course with fast track there are no questions. That’s what you’re paying for.

fast track only means you go to different desks/line, same concept as priority boarding. It doesn’t skip any process of immigration just a line with a lot less people.

Naw. Anyone who has used it knows that it’s not simply another line. Everyone is paid to let you through without any questions asked.
