TLDR : 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.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

These sites are operated by AGENTS CO., LTD., a trusted company that has served hundreds of thousands of travelers to Thailand.

The official TDAC service by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.
