Exited BKK to Singapore with new automated machines. This saves me a stamp. And I fly in and out Thailand 2 times a month so that’s 48 stamps per year. Now that will be halved so slowing down a passport replacement. I wonder if they will have these on entry?

Just wanted to share my experience on arriving with my Destination Thailand visa from Munich embassy quickly. After being pulled out for questioning the last few times, entering with a tourist visa, this time everything went smooth, no questions asked. Glad Thailand finally has a real digital "nomad" visa.

Does the evisa shows the date of issue? I saw online that some people couldn't get their visa on time and only got approved while in Thailand and then just exited the country and re-entered to activate their visa. Won't the immigration officer check the date of issue? Anyone went through this process ?

Went through immigration at BKK today. I was just recently approved for a DTV, but I’m leaving in a couple of weeks for a work thing so figured I’d just stamp in under the usual visa waiver/exemption. When the IO scanned my passport the DTV popped up in the system and she asked to see the printout (I had several copies prepared fortunately - thanks guys). She then apologized because it was her first time dealing with a DTV, so she had to get a manager to come over and walk her through the validation process. No biggy, just sharing so other DTV holders aren’t surprised.

I arrived sandbox last night. Thai embassy Canberra made it clear I did not need return flight for coe. The counter staff at Singapore Airlines in Adelaide said that according to home affairs one was required. It did not stop me boarding and they said if thai immigration wanted a return flight just book a cheap one to Singapore. Air Asia has the for $150. But I held my nerve and got through without it.

Sweet!
