What should I expect at check-in and immigration for my first entry to Thailand with a DTV?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I've got my DTV approved from the embassy in Rome, so I'm done for that part.
Now I'd like to be prepared and hear -especially from those departed from EU- how it works once you get for the first time at the airline check-in desk at the airport, AND once at immigration check the first time in Thailand with your DTV.
* What will they ask and want to see at the check-in desks in EU?
* What will they ask and want to see at the immigration in Thailand the first time you enter with your DTV?
* Anything else we should do and better know in advance to avoid delays and annoyances?
Thank you

Answer summary
Once you arrive at the airline check-in desk in the EU, you should be prepared to show your DTV visa, so bring a printed copy. Immigration in Thailand will also require you to present your DTV visa. While some travelers have pointed out that a return ticket might be requested, it is not necessary to possess one. Additional preparations like filling out the TDAC and having your documentation ready will help smooth your experience.

I agree and I tried, but didn't get much out of it as I wasn't sure what to write in the search bar as key words to find what i wanted to know

not much to be honest. I think I've submitted it let's say on a tuesday. On Wednesday or Thursday I was asked to integrate a few docs, including something already sent (Bank statement for example). I re-submitted and it got approved yesterday (the next monday after submission. So less than a week I'd say.

They might ask you for a return ticket but you don't need one. I've printed the dtv confirmation on A4 and showed it to immigration. My first entry I also printed the muay thai course i took with all the documents i've used to apply for the dtv but they did not need it. And also don't forget to fill in the dtac before you fly.
