Question

Live Report!
Just landed from Taiwan : TPE - DMK now
(00.30 AM - 29 June 2026 - SL395)
The first person come to female IO and handed my passport and old passport that registered with DTV also A7 cute laminated DTV as always

This is my 6th-7th entry since it was approved in Jan 2025z

IO need 3-4 minutes to select the menu on her computer and count the 6 months date for me.

No question asked at all.
So no need to worry you all, random check is normal if they want to make sure you are not violating the visa

A recent report from a traveler entering Thailand from Taiwan highlights a smooth immigration experience with no questions asked during the process. The traveler provided both a passport and an older passport registered with the DTV, which is a Digital Tourist Visa. The immigration officer took a few minutes to verify the entry based on the dates without any complications. Comments from the community reflect similar experiences, noting that showing a digital version of the DTV on a phone is often accepted by the immigration officers, with a recommendation to still have printed copies available.

Very nice! I didn’t have the laminated copy I said I had the document on my phone. She said show me and I did. I think some people might overthink this. Yes technically phones are not allowed or they weren’t but they actually changed the signs in BKK I think. They are now saying no cameras. But I don’t remember if that was ever different. The point is while many in the group recommend the dtv to be printed and laminated which is fine, it’s literally an e-visa 😅 and TDAC both digital documents so I doubt many IOs would give you problems for showing your phone.
