Do you need to use the TDAC before departing for Thailand?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Do you use the TDAC before you leave your home country .
Answer summary
The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Certificate) is used for entry into Thailand, not for departure from your home country. Travelers must complete the TDAC online within 72 hours before arriving in Thailand. It can also be filled out at the airport or via flight Wi-Fi, but doing it in advance is recommended to avoid delays at immigration.

Can't believe people are still asking about TDAC. Think one could do a degree on TDAC with the amount of information written about TDAC.

3 days before you arrive
Is that complicated? 🤷♂️

Fill it out three days before your arrival in Thailand, or two days, or 1 day.
You can do it on your flight if they have wifi.
You can do it after you have landed in Thailand in the airport using their WiFi.
You can also use one of the kiosks at the airport in Thailand before immigration.
Just do it!!!!!!

I did it at the airport before I flew out, it's really quick n simple. Surprisingly (or maybe not), a lot of people flying into BKK did not do it and had to wait in a horrendously long line while it took me just a few minutes to go through immigration.

You use it to enter Thailand not to depart the country you are travelling from
Lynnette *******
It's on the website. You do it online up to 3 days before landing. Wherever you are. Even in the airport on arrival before immigration, but that'll delay your entry.

Anytime within 72 hrs before passing passport control in Thailand

Read the many many many posts on TDAC!! And the many many many websites. And the many many many YouTube videos. They will explain all
Phil ******
Nothing to use. You just fill in your information up to 3 days before so your registered when you enter Thailand.
