What should I prepare for re-entering Thailand with a Digital Tourist Visa (DTV)?

Has anyone with the DTV left Thailand and re entered with it? And is there anything to prepare, or enter as usual?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers who have left Thailand and re-entered with a Digital Tourist Visa (DTV) reported a generally straightforward process. To prepare, it is advised to bring your passport and a printout of your DTV for easy access. Some travelers experienced issues with the days stamped upon re-entry, so it is recommended to ensure you receive the correct 180-day stamp; otherwise, you might be given a 60-day stamp. Being proactive, such as folding the visa printout for easy scanning, can help expedite the immigration process.

Just check that immigration stamp you in for 180 days for DTV. Some people have been stamped in for 60 days as immigration have not realised they have DTV

I have. I just showed my visa on re-entry so they'd give me 6 months instead of the normal 2 for ASEAN passport holders

I've done it, very easy.

Print out DTV, fold it so they can scan the barcode, put it in your passport bio page. That will save time. As said above, the longest part will be figuring out 180 days to put that date to stamp your passport.

Yes, I have. Was super easy. The hardest part was for the immigration officer to calculate 180 days... she got out her phone, calculated, then asked a colleague.

Bring printed pdf of the evisa just in case but mine showed in the system on the 2nd entry

always print out several copies of the DTV visa if issued by Evisa email to show Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival into Thailand during the 5 years.

it is the Evisa issued email you received with the DTV Visa which needs to be printed out to show Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival into Thailand. Print it out.

Yes, just show your passport and a copy of your DTV and you'll get your 180 days.
