I was on a non b for 3 years, once I back to Thailand middle of August I've been under non b + TR visa .under TR first time 3 weeks, and the second 65 days. days 60+30) .

Now I have been outside Thailand 3 weeks and I received my DTV visa

Apart from filling DTAC

and printing the visa,

is there anything else I need to do?

A lot of people stressed me out and said that because I lived in Thailand for three years, they might rejectedmy entry, but I’m returning with the proper visa. What do you think?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about returning to Thailand with a DTV visa after previously holding a Non-B visa for three years. They have been outside Thailand for three weeks and are unsure if any further steps are necessary besides printing the visa and filling out the DTAC. They expressed anxiety about potential entry rejection due to their prior long-term stay. Comments affirm that with a DTV visa, there should not be an issue, as current guidelines concern those entering without a visa.
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.

If you have a DTV then nothing matters. The new guidelines are ONLY for people entering visa exempt, without a visa. You have a visa.
