What should I know about entering Thailand on a DTV visa and the importance of presenting the e-visa?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Arrived today on my first DTV entrance. I entered the DTV visa number on the TDAC registration so the IO didnt ask for the DTV e-visa print out or email.
Answer summary
A user recently shared their experience entering Thailand on a DTV visa for the first time. They mentioned that they entered their DTV visa number on the TDAC registration, which led the immigration officer to not ask for the DTV e-visa printout or email. This sparked a discussion in the comments about the importance of checking entry stamps and the necessity of presenting the e-visa printout to prevent issues at immigration.

The immigration officer cannot see anything you entered on the TDAC. All they can see is if you filled one out or not. You're specifically told to print out your visa by the embassy when they send it to you, and it also says to present your visa at the airport. If you don't do so, you run a much greater risk of receiving the wrong entry stamp. Why not make the officer's job a little easier?

Are you sure? Did you check your entry stamp? When did they state you have to leave? Many times when someone doesn’t explicitly state they have a visa the officer will assume you are entering for 60 days visa exempt.
