TLDR : 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.
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.

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.
