Anonymous participant I can assure you that any flight ✈️ from the USA will require the flyer to show PROOF of the Thai Visa or Visa Exempt Entry for entry into Thailand. IF visa exempt entry, the airline wants to see your flight departing Thailand within the number of days you are stamped into Thailand. And there's others who have had the same question asked on check-in in other countries.

Anonymous participant glad to hear you were successful. The print out serves as an easy way to use when you are getting the boarding pass for your flight ✈️ and the airline staff ask to see your Thai Visa and they pass it around to the supervisor to get approval from them to issue you the boarding pass. Passing around your cellphone is not handy vs a print out of the Thai Visa. Being the DTV visa is new, all airline staff are aware of it. As are the CV connecting airport staff when they want to see your Thai Visa to board the flight to Thailand.

So your flight ✈️ arrival with Thai Immigration Officers are not the only ones which a print out of the Evisa can be helpful.

Hmmmmm 🤔🤔 this anonymous person appears to be a Thai Visa Agent... ????

GREAT tips...as long as you meet the requirements for the DTV visa as required on the Thai Embassy or Consulate website where you will be applying for the DTV visa.

So you are proud of yourself in being able to use your cell phone to show PROOF of having a DTV Visa. Congratulations 👏👏👏.

It's not what you should have done... BUT it worked for you.

Absolutely no need to pay for a Thai Visa Agent to get the DTV visa, especially for the Muay Thai training gym.
James ********
The other replies say it all... Make sure you apply with both a Muay Thai gym which has successful track record of providing the important documents and helped its students obtain the DTV visa....

AND use the Thai Embassy or Consulate where the school recommends.
