How do i fill out digital arrival card, if i want to take a trip to Japan during my stay in Thailand? Should i fill out a new digital arrival card, or will the old one still be valid?
Answer summary
When you leave Thailand and wish to return, you must complete a new digital arrival card (TDAC) each time you enter the country. The arrival card is not reusable and must be filled out for every entry into Thailand, which can be done quickly online. Additionally, while planning a trip to Japan, remember that Japan also requires a digital arrival card for entry.

You need to complete a new one every time you enter Thailand. Only takes a few minutes.

Arrival card is for arriving

Once you've arrived, you've used it. It's not a reusable arrival card.

It's an arrival card. You fill out a new one every time you arrive in Thailand.
