The TDAC, or Thailand Declaration Arrival Card, is simply an entry card that does not affect your visa eligibility. Based on user experiences, as long as you do not overstay and maintain a reasonable gap between your visits, you should not face issues re-entering Thailand on a TDAC. Regular tourist visa holders or those utilizing visa exemptions can re-enter as needed. However, if you're concerned about crossing borders frequently, applying for a tourist visa every few entries could help mitigate potential scrutiny at immigration.

I arrived March to Thailand for the first time and got my 60 day tourists visa. However my visa runs out 3rd may and within that 60 day I am currently visiting Vietnam for 12 days and have a return ticket to BKK and I have a return ticket home . Do I fill out another TDAC and can I re enter?

TDAC is an arrival card nothing to do with visa. If you are worried just get a tourist visa

Why will it be refused.. you are not asking for a 30day extension .. why complicate things.. you can enter as many times as you like as long as you dont overstay and stay within the 60 day tourist visa which will be

30 day soon.. you cant apply for a 30 day extension more than once a year..  the second time is a 7 day extension.  Other than that you free to travel 5 times a yr for 3 wk if that what you choose

You sound like you are very much a tourist with minimal stays and with lots of time away from thailand. You should have no issue getting a 60 day visa exempt for your next trip. The TDAC is not connected at all to the visa process, it is thailands electronic version of the paper based entry card they used many years ago. So filling one in is just telling/ confirming you are arriving and where you are planning to stay ( at least for the first day or so) nothing more. A TDAC does not give you permission to enter

Where have you got the idea that the TDAC has something to do with this? It’s literally an arrival card.

Paul ******* · Answer

They’ll never refuse a TDAC. you may get shit at immigration if going in and out. Long term. If this is your only history you’ll be fine. I get a tourist visa every third visit just to prevent questions. Your scenario should be fine

TDAC has nothing to do with it.  TDAC is just an entry card.  Literally everyone except Thai citizens have to do it.  It has nothing to do with if you are allowed into Thailand or not.

If you have only gone for 4 weeks so far, then you shouldn't have any issue being admitted again as a tourist.   Most people start to have issues entering if their entries are back to back, or once they get to around 150 days in Thailand during the last 12 months.
