Is it possible to apply on the weekend as we fly out on a Tuesday and we have to apply three days before

Answer summary

Yes, you can apply for the Thai Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) on the weekend as long as it's within three days of your planned arrival. Many users confirm it's possible to complete this process online, and it's not considered a formal application but rather filling out an arrival card.

It’s really not an application you just fill out the arrival card

You apply within 3 days of arrival so Monday or before arrival on Tuesday would be ok

Assuming you’re referring to TDAC. If so yes you can apply on a weekend as long as it’s with three days of your arrival.
