Can the TDAC card be filled out before the 3-day arrival date and do you still need to register with immigration upon arrival in Thailand?

THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.

Hi when filling the TDAC card online can it be done before the 3day arrival date as I tried and it would not let me. Also do you still have to register with immigration when you arrive?
Answer summary
You can only fill out the TDAC card online within 72 hours (3 days) before your arrival in Thailand. It cannot be done earlier. Additionally, you are still required to register with immigration upon arrival, regardless of submitting a TDAC card.

NO it can be done from 3 days before you arrive right down until you go to stamp in to thailand (there are kiosks in the arrival hall)

YES just because you do a TDAC doesn't have anything to do with the TM30 you file when you come back in from abroad

Can only be done up to 72 hours before arrival. As for TM30 with immigration, that is office specific.
