Just a simple question: I have the DTV visa; do I need an ETA and DTAC? Can I apply for them 3 weeks before departure?
Answer summary
For those holding a DTV visa, the ETA is not in use anymore, and you are required to fill in the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) either within 72 hours of arrival or upon arrival at the airport. You can submit the TDAC application just 3 days before your departure.
