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 ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring whether they will have sufficient time to complete the online arrival card for entry into Thailand after picking up their new passport on the same day as their flight. The community responses confirm that the process is quick, typically taking only a few minutes, and suggest that there is enough time to complete the online arrival card either before departure or upon arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

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
