in the TDAC, you don't need to fill out the departure and the visa number - these are no mandatory fields. And name the hotel you stay during the first nights as adress in Thailand

Yoy will be fine unless you spent an extended period of time in Thailand using visa exempt entries prior to your recent Non-O

Johantje Perseyn I think you will be arriving on visa exempt i.e. no visa at all as you are Belgian I assume with a Belgian passport you will be stamped in for 60 days with your arrival day counting as day 1. The TDAC is just an arrival electronic online card that you need to fill in within 3 days of your arrival, only fill in the mandatory fields that are highlighted with an * don't fill in any of the other boxes as they are not required . I.e. visa number and departure date (these are not required). Also when you go to fill in your tdac make sure you use the official thai website as its free

Johantje Perseyn ik zou niet weten waarom jij problemen zou krijgen. Je had eerst een non O visum, je hebt geen verlenging aangevraagd, en je bent binnen de 90 dagen teruggekeerd naar België. Daar is volgens mij helemaal niks onwettig gebeurd. Nu kom je terug zonder visum, maar slechts voor 54 dagen, wat ook wettelijk kan, nu moet je wel een terourticket hebben he. Ik zie niet in waarom je problemen zou krijgen, maar het feit dat je zo snel weer terugkomt, kan het wel zijn dat ze je bij aankomst in Thailand gaan vragen wat je hier komt doen. Dat probleem heb ik ook gehad begin vorig jaar. Ik ben toen 2 keer op korte tijd voor 58 dagen gekomen. De derde keer heb ik een Non O retirement visum aangevraagd in België, wat ik ondertussen al verlengd heb voor 1 jaar. Veel succes.

Johantje Perseyn Daar moet jij niks invullen, want je hebt geen visum. Ikzelf had wel een visum toen ik in oktober ben aangekomen, maar ik heb het ook niet ingevuld, ik heb net gekeken.
