Are border runs to Thailand still allowed under current immigration rules?

I prefer the paper arrival card than this. It's faster and easier.

Has anyone said no yet?

Nah its just more waste of time and resources given that a tm30 still need to be completed...

Where did you got information from ?

The TDAC has nothing to do with exit ticket requirements.

If travelling with a (long term) visa you need a onward ticket.

No

For reference, most airlines will require proof of a return ticket prior to allowing you to check in/board for your flight here.

For EVERY (!) entry into Thailand, non-Thai citizens are required to have completed the TDAC, regardless of whether they have a visa or an existing stay permit.

The TDAC is not a visa. The electronic TDAC is just replacing the former TM6 arrival & departure paper card you used to fill out aboard your flight before you entered Thailand.

You can fill out and submit the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) starting three days/72 hours before your planned entry; it only takes five minutes on your home computer, it takes a little bit longer on the smartphone

It's important not to fall for fraudulent websites that charge a fee for the TDAC—they're all scammers. The official TDAC is free of charge. The correct ending of the link has to be “go” and “th”

Open the official website and simply fill it out pro forma.

Create a note or a Word .doc document on your computer with the requested information, e.g., passport number, name and address in your home country, primary address in Thailand, and so on.

Then, starting up from three days/72 hours before your planned entry, you can copy and paste the information into the TDAC—it only takes two minutes!

NOTE: The "Visa Number" and "Departure" from Thailand are NOT mandatory required fields- you can leave them blank.

BUT: As soon as you click on one of these fields not marked with a red *asterisk or start typing, an error message will appear if you don't fill out anything else. Then you would have to cancel everything and start over.

You can add family or group members on the same form, you would need to choose the option “group” for this.

The TDAC confirmation will reach your email inbox shortly after you have submitted the form. You should print out this email confirmation, as it contains a QR-code. Mainly expats who apply every year for their annual “extension of stay permit”, should print it out, because a printed and signed copy of the TDAC could be a part of the document submission on Immigration

If you don't have to present the printed TDAC at the immigration counter, it doesn't mean anything - the border official will see the TDAC you submitted on his/her computer screen as soon as they scan your passport, so they won't ask again

The TDAC is not a visa, it is only an information you give Thai authorities about your person, your arrival information and your place of stay.

Assuming you haven't completed a TDAC, they won't let you enter the country but will send you back to the terminals in front of the Immigration desks with a request to submit it.

This is the official website:

No.

Nope

@Herve ********

. TDAC is an arrival card

Just an arrival card, nothing else, it replaces the old TM 6 you fill out onboard before.

The TDAC is nothing more than a paperless version of the informational landing card that many countries require to be filled out on the plane. It doesn't grant any visa or length of stay or entry.

Tdac is separate, every foreigner needs one
