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

I always fill her out in my mind and then by the time reality happens I'm already imagining another woman

It includes a number of medical questions that cannot be answered weeks in advance.

@Wayne ********
you can't use it until you have to go 3 days before arrival anyway
Wayne *********
@John *******
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 betting is illegal, I bet 0 baht the site crashes first or second day.

It’s becoming the norm in many countries so get used to it if you’re planning on doing some travelling.

@John *******
Cool! Feel free to not travel to Thailand then if you don't want to "waste" all of about six minutes submitting a simple form.

@Tim *********
did you also obtain the QR code for immigration? Or could you just register it? If the latter, do they tell when you obtain the QR code? Or were there no feed back messages.
Richie *******
@Stenbjorn ********
He dint get anything becouse you can't do it at the moment he's a fool 🤣 😂
Stenbjorn *********

impossible to register for May 6 arrival. You can only select the highlighted dates on the application
Richie *******
Stuart *********
Assuming you’re referring to the TDAC. You can fill it out early. 72 hours prior.
Stuart *********
Except it doesn’t go live until May 1st so the earliest is April 28th
Dennis **********
@Stuart ********
if you land in Thailand on May 1st you can fill it out at the airport i presume
Andy ************
@Dennis *********
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!
Dennis **********
@Andy ***********
if you have wifi on your phone you should be able to do it once you land , by all acounts it only takes a few minutes
Andy ************
@Dennis *********
I'd be doing it before I get on the plane or even on the plane. Once I get to Suvarnabhumi I want to get through as quickly as possible
Stuart *********
@Dennis *********
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.
