Hi everyone! I appreciate everyone’s advice so much. It’s been really helpful so far. Wondering what the first time entering Thailand on the DTV workcation is like? I’ve seen some say that there’s more paperwork on arrival? Is that everyone’s case?

Thanks!

Why would there be ‘more paperwork’? Can you point me to any such verifiable reports you’ve read?

I have never been asked for a copy of dtv or any relating paperwork. Easy process just TADC now and definitely no onward flight required as some have reported. 5 year multi entry visa all your information is in immigration system. Just check your stamp is actually 180 days.

You do your TDAC, print out the QR code from your visa email, fly in and go through immigration. There's nothing else to it.

I completed TDAC online ahead of time & screenshot to my phone. Got DTV 3 days prior to leaving Cairo & screenshot that to phone. Showed to immigration. Done. No questions about anything. Arrived June 28.

Print out your DTV and hand it over with your passport to the IO. Check the stamp before you walk away. tada
