Do I need to fill out the TDAC when returning to Thailand with a re-entry permit?

THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.

Hi, do I also have to fill out the TDAC when returning with a re-entry permit? Thanks....
Answer summary
Yes, you are required to fill out the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) when entering Thailand with a re-entry permit. All foreign passport holders must complete this form, whereas Thai citizens and certain permanent residents are exempt. It is advised to complete the TDAC through the THIM app, which allows you to submit it in advance and receive reminders about health questions prior to your arrival.

Graham Seal I was under the impression that legal permanent residents in Thailand as their legal domicile didn't, but could be wrong

Not talking about people with long term visas or EOS but real permanent residents

Yesi Lookgood it is easy but it's not something to be doing whilst waiting in immigration queue

Must be a nightmare trying to do it on a phone

Paul Thomas I did it while walking to immigration one time because I forgot to do it. Not recommended to do it on your phone trying to find your visa number, passport number and more at the same time , but doable .

There are also screens before immigration where you can do it if you don’t have a device etc

If you are entering Thailand and don't have a Thai passport, you must fill out a TDAC.
