Do UK nationals with a valid DTV need to complete a new TDAC for entry into Thailand each time?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Hiya, may I ask please, will UK nationals with a valid DTV still have to fill out a new TDAC each time entry Thailand? Thanks for any insight
Answer summary
UK nationals with a valid DTV (Digital Tourist Visa) must fill out a new TDAC (Thailand Declaration Card) each time they enter Thailand. This requirement applies to all non-Thai nationals, regardless of their visa status. Users in the comments confirm that every foreigner must complete the TDAC form upon entry, similar to other countries' entry procedures, and express that there are no exemptions even for those holding a DTV.

With or without visa, if you’re a foreigner then you are required to do TDAC.

DTV has to do everything, it does not make you a VIP in Thailand. That is reserved for the Elite Visa's but even they will have to do this :D
Andrew ********
It does say all-non Thai nationals ..
And DTV is a glorified tourist visa...
Pretty straightforward

@Chris ******
mdac is not a travel authorization. It is exactly same arrival card as notification. And you don't need to do any other eta before going to Malaysia.Marianna ********
@Chris ******
thanks for confirming

Yes, all foreigners with and without visa.

As it says "All non-Thai nationals..." must complete the card ...
Virtually same as TM6 that you'd fill out on the aircraft before landing.
