When I used to work here on a non B I would see SHOPPING CARTS full of paperwork being rolled through Chaeng Wattana😆 they LOVE their paperwork here.
One time I went one time to Laos because I was switching companies, and when I came back the officers in Suvarnabhumi wanted the *entire stack of paper* I submitted to get my visa at the Thai embassy in Vientiane, so in essence wanted me to carry two copies of everything which would have been the equivalent of an entire ream of paper in my carry onðŸ«
This was only 2 years ago. Luckily after an interrogation about my work, and a lot of apologizing, I got through but it was so stressful.
Just print your visas guys, the DTV is literally one single piece of paper. It’s not that hard and it could save you a hell of a headache if you catch an officer on a bad day.
