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?
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.

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.
