Do I have enough time to get the online arrival card after getting my new passport before my flight to Thailand?

Hi All,
I'm planning on flying to Thailand on 24th June from London at 20.50
I have an appointment in London to get a new passport on the same day .
I will get my new passport at 1pm that day .
Does this give me enough time to get the online arrival card for entering thailand on visa exempt ?

Answer summary
The consensus from community responses is that you will have plenty of time to complete the online arrival card (tdac) for entering Thailand after picking up your new passport on the same day. It generally takes only about 5 minutes to fill out the form, and you can even do it upon arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport if necessary.

The tdac if you only fill the mandatory * fields will take no longer than 5 mins. You have plenty of time

Yes, do it at Heathrow from Wetherspoons. 😁

You can fill it in minus the passport details then update the saved form later with the new passport information.

Fill it in a Suvarnabhumi in BKK before immigration. You have enough time.

If you search YT for a tdac video you'll know exactly what details you need. Make a note of them on paper and you'll save time filling it in. 😉

Yes, only takes a few minutes. You could even do it at Suvarnabhumi before you reach immigration
