Answer summary

Yes, you must fill out the TDAC form if you are entering Thailand, even if it's just for a short duration. Additionally, remember that Malaysia has its own electronic arrival card that you need to fill out each time you arrive.

Of course for every arrival into both countries. Be careful of scam websites that will ask for credit card info and charge you. There is no payment required for either country.

Cualquier persona que no tenga pasaporte tailandés necesita llenar una TDAC cada vez que entre al reino, sin importar si es turista o no, ni si tiene visado o no.

If you are entering Thailand even for 1 second, you must fill out a TDAC.
