I have a retirement visa and a re-entry stamp . Do I still need to do the TDAC online ?
Answer summary
Yes, all foreigners, including those with a retirement visa and a re-entry stamp, are required to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) every time they enter Thailand. The TDAC is mandatory regardless of visa status, and it applies to every entry into the country, including brief departures. When registering for the TDAC, you can select 'other' as the reason for travel and indicate 'retired' in the next section.
