Do I need to do another TDAC when returning to Thailand after visiting Vietnam?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I entered Thailand last week, got the usual 60 day stamp. I stayed 3 days and then flew to Vietnam for 10 days. After this, I will be returning to Thailand for the rest of the holiday for approximately 2 weeks before flying home.
My question is, do I need to do another TDAC on arrival back to Thailand?

Preferably do the TDAC within 3 days of your arrival back in Thailand. Saves having to do it before passing through immigration on arrival.

Is this unnecessary bureaucracy? A question not a statement note please!? Alongside the seemingly more strick interpretation of visa exemption stamp regulations,more visitors/ tourists are allegedly heading for neighbours. Laos, Vietnam,and even the Phillipines. This has allegedly been reported by the Thai Tourist Authority. This is a crying shame and needs to be addressed.

Lots of other countries also do a digital arrival card. We recently went travelling for three days and had to do one for Malaysia and another for our return to Thailand. Better to do it before landing - less stressStuart *********

It’s an arrival card. What’s the issue?

im 67 yo and did mine at home BEFORE i left for Thailand. Better than crowded & understandably nervous situationMark *******
There isn't really an issue Stuart,apart from the fact after a long flight and being tired,I made a few elementary mistakes on the computer at the airport. And did become increasingly nervous! I suffer from anxiety unfortunately! So it was a tremendous relief when it read,' TDAC successfully completed.' I confess I only arrived on a one way ticket,so was questioned further by an Immigration Officer,after clearing the arrivals desk. He was very courteous as was I,and soon stamped my passport with a 60 days visa exemption stamp. Of which I am very grateful. I guess being 67 years old and old fashioned,I found the actual paper card of years ago,a lot more comfortable!
Unsure of my plans from here; whether to go to Jomtien and apply for an extra 30 days,or visit neighbouring countries,and apply for another 60 days upon my return. Only time will yell
