Will I need to show my Tourist Visa at Thai immigration or is it linked to my passport?
Will my Tourist Visa be automatically connected to my passport when I go through immigration or will I need to show it.
Answer summary
When entering Thailand with a Tourist Visa, it is advisable to be prepared and have a printed copy of your visa, even though the immigration system can display your visa details when your passport is scanned. While many users reported that immigration officials can see the visa status on their screens, having a printed document may help avoid delays or issues. Some recommend always showing your visa with your passport to ensure everything is stamped correctly and to prevent mistakes or misunderstandings during the entry process.

When I went into Laos a couple of days ago it did not show up on their computer…fortunately I had a copy of my 6 month visa with me.

Always hand over your visa with your passport then check you stamp to see that the date is what you were expecting i.e. 60 days

Print it out along with TDAC for peace of mind
Make sure you have 20K or equivalent amount with any other currency
