TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) up to three days prior to your arrival in Thailand. You can also complete it up to the day of your arrival. Despite some confusion in the comments, it is confirmed that the TDAC can be applied for as soon as three days before arrival, and even on arrival day at the airport.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Chris *********
@Goel *******
like what exactly?
Goel ********
@Chris ********
i was trolled, bullied and harassed for my posts and racists comments which is against Facebook and Thai cyber laws. I tagged group admin also and informed abt situation but nothing was done and i was told just block the guy and move on. Well i coming from Singapore and Dubai where laws are strict and racism is taken seriously. But these boot lickers cheapsters think they can act cool and hide their identity in groups . Well no wonder thai government need to reform laws for providing visa and do profile filtering. We don't need someone who destroys thai culture and spoil reputation.

Thailand Digital Arrival Card.

That's the earliest you can do it. It says "within 3 days of arriving" so 1day before or 2 or 3.
Ernst *********
Do it three days before, two days before or one day before.

You can do it when you land in Thailand before you get to immigration.
Michael *****************************
No you can also do it 2 days before,…FFS
Kim *********
@Michael ****************************

Jordee ******
@Michael ****************************
Landing day too. I've seen it, service agents helping tourists to do it.
Brandon ************
You can do it 3 days prior to arrival.

You can do it 2 days prior to arrival.

You can do it 1 day prior to arrival.

You can do it the day of arrival.

You can do it at the airport as you are walking to immigration.

The choice is yours.

@Brandon ***********
but isn’t doing it at the airport under certain circumstances. Not just everyone is able to do that . Am I correct about that?
Albert ********
@Brandon ***********
👍🏼 I’ll do mine ahead of time. I’ll be Fast Tracking it through the airport, on an electric cart I hope.
Brandon ************
@Albert *******
no. Anyone can do it whenever they want. It just needs to be done by the time you get to passport control. You can do it in line if you want. The earliest you can do it is 3 days before you arrive
Igor *********
@Brandon ***********
not at least 3 days before arrival? 🤣😂🤣 ....
David ********
@Brandon ***********
in all seriousness, this is the best answer. 👍🏻🙏🏻😎
Steven *******
@Brandon ***********
Can you do it at the Immigration window?
Wayne *********
@Steven ******
yes and make everyone else wait. Do it before you go to the immigration line don't hold up those that are organised and have theirs already.
Steven *******
@Wayne ********
I was joking
Brandon ************
@Steven ******
If you like waiting in line twice, sure. When you get there they will send you out of line to the kiosks if it's not done already.
