Can foreigners with a Thai spouse use the Thai-only queue at the airport after the introduction of the TDAC?

Yep do it regulay to from australia..so.much quicker

It’s free and easy, why risk delays?

Yes you can go to the Thai queue with your wife, yes you still need to complete the TDAC even though she does not. It's generally best to print it out, however if you have done it right it is linked to your passport number and they can see it anyway.

I always carry a walking stick, I start limbing, and they allow me to use the VIP Fast Lane 😆 which is usually faster than the "Thai only" lane

Went through with my thai wife ok.

Went through this september

I went through thai queue with my thai wife 6 weeks ago,no problems

Yes u can , did it last week. No probs . TDAC completed day before , just go thru as normal

Yes been through thai only at BKK, DMK & HKT with wife, without issue.

As long as you've filled out the TDAC it will just be like every other time before it was introduced.

You can go through with your thai wife saving you a very long wait i did on monday saved me about a hour wait in the que But must still do the tdac arrival card

Give it a go, ultimately it's up to the IO. You'll probably be ok going through with your wife

Yes

My wife went through Thai line

I was sent to foreign passport line

No problems.

Easy entry

Went throughThai only with my wife a month ago no issue

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

Every non-Thai citizen is required to have completed the TDAC, regardless of whether they have a visa or an existing stay permit.

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.

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 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.

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.

Need to be with someone with a thai passport

Been through the Thai line twice with my family since TDAC and business as usual.

No you can still go though ok

The TDAC replaced the old written entry form into Thailand and such needs one per foreigner every time they enter Thailand

It does not give you the automatic rights to use the Thai lane although I have done so with my Thai wife in the past and many others have done as well.

But you need tdac regardless of your wife.

He who dares wins!

With my Thai wife or with my Thai passport daughter, we always go "Thai passports" queue. Never a question from IO.

went through Thai only queue Sunday night with Thai wife no problems from Aust
