Hi. Ive completed the online arrival card and received the email. Do I need to print it off or just use my phone to show the immigration officer. Thanks.

I just had the DTV approved and I see lots of people here talking about printing it, can't I just use the pdf on my phone? Anyone has issues with this?

My experience with the new online system for 90-day reports: A couple of weeks ago I registered and immediately got an email saying I was accepted and providing me with a password. Earlier this week I logged in and filled out the TM-47 form. Again I received an immediate email saying the form was accepted and the website showed my status as pending.

It took about 8 hours, but late that same afternoon I received a second email saying that my TM-47 report had been approved. The stamped, approved form was attached. However, the form still says I should keep it in my passport. It seems ridiculous to have an online service and then require the form to be printed out (I know, I know, things dont always make sense here). I recently read that a new law requires some government departments to go digital and prohibits any requirement to print out documents, though I don’t believe that it applies to Immigration…yet.

Does anyone know if I really need to print out the form and put it in my passport or can I just keep the digital document in my phone?

FYI I just went to Udon Immigration with a COVID letter from U.S. Embassy via email (also printed it out in color) and they said it had to be an original document via post mail lol... I asked the U.S. Embassy but no reply yet, I doubt they will offer that. Police were grumpy today and I pushed a few times to be sure... not sure if their excuse is accurate or just bullshit trying to delay dealing with these.

Update: U.S. Embassy replied to me and were surprised, and said Thai Immigration offices are supposed to accept the digital/printout versions of letters.
