TLDR : Answer Summary

A user reports a smooth entry into Thailand on their DTV visa at Suvarnabhumi Airport, providing their passport, a photocopy of the DTV, and boarding pass without any complications. They received a visa stamp valid until March 30, 2026, with no request for additional documents. Comments include advice on being cautious as circumstances can change quickly for DTV holders, and a light-hearted question about whether the DTV was laminated.

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... 😁
