TLDR : Answer Summary

If you are returning to Thailand after May 1st, 2025, you are required to fill out the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), regardless of your visa type. All non-Thai travelers must complete this form, which can be submitted online from three days prior to your arrival up to the day of your arrival.

IF you are coming back in to thailand ON or after May 1st you have to file the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) via the online web-portal

It doesn't matter what way you're entering the country, free stamp, visa on arrival, visa, extension w/re-entry, ALL foreigners are required to file one.

You can do it from 3 days before your arrival date right down to the day you arrive here

This is the website,
