TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can fill out the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Certificate) form 72 hours prior to your arrival. There are some discussions regarding the complications involved, such as medical questions that cannot be answered in advance. There is also some light-hearted commentary on the process, with concerns about the potential for the website to crash when the system goes live.

What’s the chances that as of April 28 when people need to start applying for the TDAC that the website crashes, and everyone that was supposed to arrive on May 1 will have no idea what they can do

that’s what I’m referring to. They can’t let you fill out the form early because there are health related questions that you couldn’t possibly answer two or three weeks prior to arrival.

As I understand there will be a couple of computer terminals available and assistance from an immigration department officer. I can only imagine how the queues will be for this, so I think anyone planning not to do it beforehand should allow an hour or two going through immigration, but at least your luggage will be waiting for you!

I’d assume that would be the case. Probably will have some computers to do so but until it goes live it’s just assumptions.
