ORIGINAL POSTERDTV Entrance - Chiang Mai, March 2026
Writing this as I think it's interesting to share. So I landed at CNX Airport, queueing in lane & later I just noticed I am the only one with DTV print-out; it's quite obvious because my I printed my DTV card in A6, slightly bigger than my passport.
Just within 5 minutes, one of the IO escorted me to another line (*the right one to be exact and I can tell I skipped 4-5 people before me, but I just followed what the IO asked me to; he's nice btw*). Gave my passport & DTV print-out. She only asked me if I flew from Singapore. I reckon' she's making sure because I was doing connecting flight from Bali to Chiang Mai via Singapore.
And that's all. No other question, no horror story, stamped, I thanked her, she nodded and smiled.

If a foreigner comes to me to ask what type of visa I have while waiting in line for Immigration Checkpoint I would tell him to go play somewhere else.
BUT great job you managed to check each and every person.

Do you have a DTV?Reevo ********
ORIGINAL POSTERMore like I had nothing to do while queueing & I’m lowkey an observant, too 😅. 95% of them were holding their passport & it’s easy to spot on the print-out as to me, it’s visually visible.

Good report thanks. Immigration Officer was actually doing a great job. Nothing to do with you holding a DTV. More likely she was checking that you hadn't arrived from (or via) a Yellow Fever endemic country.
