Arrived this morning on my second DTV entry. I entered the DTV visa number when I filled out the TDAC online so it was just hand over the passport, stamp and go. Took 30 seconds to go through. IO scans passport and the DTV visa shows up on screen. Fast

DTV 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.

🌴 My 3rd DTV stamp – super smooth entry in Phuket today!🌴

Just landed in Phuket (HKT) and got my 3rd DTV entry stamp in less than 1 minute — literally no questions asked!I

handed over my passport + the printed DTV passport size, and the Immigration Officer stamped it right away. Super friendly & straightforward process.

This was my first time arriving in Phuket — we've always come through Suvarnabhumi before, so I wasn't sure what to expect… but honestly, it was even smoother than I imagined!

For anyone worried about Phuket immigration with DTV → don't stress, it's quick and easy (at least today!). 🙏

COME BACK TO BANGKOK IN 2026!

Hello guys, and hello haters…

Today I just came back to Bangkok after spending New Year in Hanoi. I think this is my 6th or 7th entry using DTV already.

Oops—sorry about my cute, compact, passport-size DTV 😌 Yes, it’s printed and laminated.

The officer took my passport and my tiny DTV, said “DTV,” then matched the visa number with the system…

Stamp. Done.

No questions.

No drama.

No horror stories.

One more thing:

If you want to save the planet by not printing your visa, go ahead—save the world 🌍

As for me, I enjoy plastic and convenience.

Haters will come anyway.

Good luck to those still applying, and welcome back to Bangkok! 🇹🇭✈️

JUST LANDED BANGKOK BKK

We got our stamp. The red light came on and a man came and took our passports away to check our DTV was valid.

Then came back to us and gave us a stamp within 5 minutes

For anyone with a messy passport I have 12-13 months of tourist stamps and 2 border runs and 3 extensions in 2025.

Also an ED visa from 2022

All good and no questions or asked to show any documents

Just returned from Laos to Don Mueang. First time getting stamped with DTV. Easy Process. IO only asked for passport, TDAC and Visa. I didn't have mine laminated, I only had on my phone, but it wasn't a problem. She stamped me in for 6 months. No worries If you have a DTV. You shouldn't have any problems.
