Just entered Phuket today after getting approved in HCMC last week. Printed out the visa PDF they sent me just in time. The immigration lady did have to call her colleagues over with some back and forth between them, but no questions were asked and I got the stamp for the first time.

Answer summary

A user shared their recent experience entering Phuket with a DTV visa after approval in Ho Chi Minh City. They successfully received their immigration stamp without issues, despite a brief consultation among immigration officials. The post also includes supportive comments from other users welcoming the newcomer to Thailand and discussing details about visa documentation.

You've arrived... And you did this...

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Hello, welcome 🎶 I chose the laughing reaction not because of you, but because it seems it is like the first or one of the first times they see a DTVer down there.
