Can you complete a DTAC form in advance and submit it just 3 days before departure?

Question

Can you complete a dtac in advance but not submit it until 3 days before departure?

Ask Thailand · Answer

The consensus from the comments is that you cannot complete the DTAC form in advance and submit it later; it must be done within the 3-day window before departure. However, many users emphasize that filling out the form is quick and straightforward, taking approximately 5 minutes to complete. Some suggest familiarizing yourself with the form by filling out a dummy application to ease the process. It's advised to gather necessary accommodation details ahead of time to avoid any complications.

Why would you want to do that - it takes 2 minutes not 20 minutes

Hi all. Yes it’s easy to do but make sure you know the sub district of where your accommodation is - that’s the only thing that gave me pause as it wasn’t on my accommodation address. I put the address in maps to find out.

PS I don’t understand why some people have to reply in a snarky way - how would you feel if you got a snarky reply to a simple question? Play nice - it costs nothing.

No you can't. But it is really easy to do, you should not have any problems filling it out just 3 days prior. Took me 5 minutes and the  QR code arrived mere seconds after submitting the form.

Here is another post on TripAdvisor to a very nervous Aussie about the form despite being advised POLITELY that it's easy, only takes a few minutes etc. "Here's a suggestion to make it easy for you to fill in at the hotel (rather than assuming you have wifi on the plane)

Go to the web site and fill in a dummy application saying you are arriving tomorrow going through all the stages apart from submitting it. Make a note of the questions you found hard (like the detailed accommodation details and save the answers for when you want to do it for real. Completion will then take less than 5 minutes."

Thanks to all who have made polite replies. I now exactly how long it takes having completed one up to the point of submission and was wondering if I leave it at this point until 3 days before departure to press the complete button. A simple question for a simple answer.

Have you tried to ask DTAC,…

Graeme ****** · Answer

No you can't, the only people I have seen do it are some of the travel agents but they hold your info and still submit the TDAC within the 3 day window. The online form only takes 5 mins and you only need to fill in the highlighted * boxes
