I have my electronic OA visa. Will have copy printed out when I travel to BKK. Will immigration attach copy to passport?
Answer summary
When traveling to Bangkok with an electronic OA visa, you will not receive a physical copy attached to your passport. Instead, you will get an entry stamp upon arrival. The electronic visa can be displayed on your phone, and it's no longer necessary for any physical documents to be submitted to the Consulate.

Q:

Do I still need to mail the document to the Consulate or come in person?

A:

No.

All visa applications must be submitted through the e-Visa portal (
**************************
Please note that applicants are no longer required to mail anything to the Consulate and the Consulate does not accept walk-in or drop-off for the visa services at the moment.

Q:

What is e-Visa stickerless?

A:

The Royal Thai Embassy and Royal Thai Consulate-General in the United States are currently using a new e-Visa system which no longer requires for e-Visa applicant to submit his/her passport and original supporting documents through mail/in-person.

After the e-Visa application has been approved, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to applicants. It is kindly requested to print a copy of the confirmation e-mail to present to airline and Thai Immigration officials to carry out checks when traveling to Thailand.

Currently, every visa can be requested through e-Visa portal except the Thailand Elite visa.

The visa is a PDF document which you can show on your phone. All you will get in your passport is the entry stamp when you arrive. Visas obtained overseas are no longer placed in your passport
