Do I need to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) for my trip with kids from the UAE to Thailand on UK passports?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Hello, I am traveling to Thailand with my two kids from the UAE but with UK passport.I believe we can get visas on arrival but do we need to do the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) ?
Answer summary
Travelers from the UAE holding UK passports do need to fill out the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering Thailand, as it is required by many airlines at check-in. Upon arrival, they will receive a 60-day visa exemption stamp instead of needing a visa on arrival. It's also advised to complete the TDAC up to three days prior to arrival and to avoid misleading sponsored websites for the TDAC application.

Everybody without Thai passport does the arrival card. It’s just a way to know who enters.
And you will enter without visa. It’s call visa exemption which most countries are entitled to. Only a few passports need to go get a visa on arrival - not a single western country ;)

You'll enter with a visa exemption ( no visa) of 60 days. The TDAC is an online "arrival" card, so if you are "arriving" you need to fill it in.

A very good question as there are lots of tablets at the airports for those people without computer and smartphone or unable to use one.

Make sure you don't get scammed like many have from searching TDAC on Google, as the first result is typically a sponsored website beginning with "iv" that charges over $100 USD for a TDAC. The real government TDAC website is free. tdac.immigration.go.th

Also to avoid confusion at the airport you are not getting a Visa on Arrival so don’t follow those signs.
You’ll get a free 60 day visa exempt stamp from any of the “foreign passports” desks.

TDAC and 60 day stamp

You must do the TDAC which you can do up to three days before your arrival.
No visa; you will get 60 days visa exemption at immigration.

Just to highlight that the TDAC, literally stands for Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). So yes, there is an “arrival” card.
