TLDR : Answer Summary
A new entrant to Thailand on a DTV visa reported a smooth entry experience at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The individual presented their passport, a copy of the DTV, and a boarding pass, with no request for additional documents like the TDAC. They received a stamp valid until March 30, 2026. Some comments suggest that the experience for DTV holders may vary, emphasizing the importance of being prepared for changes in regulations and account-related issues.
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.

Enjoy the “no issue” while it lasts … Unfortunately many DTV holders were reporting “no issue” with their thaï bank accounts just 1 month ago… Things can change very quickly in Thailand. Be ready

The latest "fetish" in the DTV-Community... lamination. Just a printout (even a downsized one) isn't good enough anymore... it has to be laminated to be successful... 😁

AND the laminated DTV Visa matches your 5 year DTV Visa life.
