Hi all, from my research here I believe the DTV visa once approved gets activated in 2 ways -

1. You receive ur approved DTV e-visa via e-mail. Carrying this document you fly in to Thailand show this e-visa along with the regular docs TDAC and they will stamp us with the DTV 5 year?

2. You submit your passport to a Thai embassy outside the country and once approved get it stamped there too ??

I’m very confused how option 2 works.

Does it still require approved DTV e-visa via email prior to that ? I see in posts people say they submitted their passport at the embassy and received it back in a few days with the DTV stamp?

Anyone applied in their home country, entered thailand on a visa exempt, then, after dtv is approved, border bounced to activate it? Would this work? I've a flight to Thailand in a week and it probably won't come through before then... would this work?
