Hi I've entered Bali via the gates at immigration without a stamp last week and was applying this week for Dtv visa. I have the email of the e visa as a pdf and I assumed that was sufficient to show evidence but I've read contradictory views on that and the Muai Thai gym I plan to apply for Petchnumnoi Gym ( Sitnumnoi&Singpatong) via there webpage chat wasn't sure also, I have seen one post of someone stating they had the same experience but not any clear solution to the issue, I've been following this group and greatly appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user has entered Bali without a passport stamp and is seeking advice on applying for a DTV visa. They possess an email of their e-visa but have encountered mixed opinions about its sufficiency for verification. Comments from community members suggest that travel documentation, including flight tickets, hotel bookings, and possibly proof of location, are essential when applying for visas in Bali, especially since stamps are no longer issued. They also mention experiences of others in similar situations without clear guidance.

may I ask did you take physical photos of the flight ticket or could this be screenshots of the bookings for hotel and flights? With the picture aswell is that a selfie with the documents or just a recent photo of yourself. Thank you

this is how I did it. Along with a clearer pic of the ticket and hotel reservation

Add all photos/screenshots on google doc, then save as pdf. You may need to compress it on ilovepdf.com
