TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has been granted a 3-month Non-Immigrant O visa and is inquiring about the necessity of submitting a DVCard three days prior to arrival in Thailand. A comment clarifies that if the user does not hold a Thai passport, a TDAC must be submitted with every entry.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Do you have a Thai passport? If not then you are required to submit a TDAC on EVERY entry.

nothing to do with visas. It's just an online card with your arrival info. Same as used to do on a paper card on the plane.

For the visa or the arrival card? If someone is trying to charge you for the arrival card within 3 days of arrival then it's a scam. The official site is
