ORIGINAL POSTER
Sorry to ask another Tdac question as I can see there has been quiet a few lately.

I am travelling next month on a UK passport with my wife who is Thai, she will be leaving the UK on her UK passport but entering Thailand on her Thai passport.

So will she actually need a TDac? If so would she need to enter her Thai passport details or her UK passport details?

Thanks for any help on this.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Thai national entering Thailand on a Thai passport does not need to submit a TDAC (Tourist Declaration and Arrival Card). If your wife enters using her Thai passport, she is exempt from this requirement. However, if she were to use her UK passport to enter Thailand, she would then need to submit a TDAC using her UK passport details.
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.

Anyone entering on a Thai passport doesn’t need a TDAC.
Ellie *******
All and only foreigners (who with foreign passport (s)) need to submit TDAC. Thai nationals don't.

That means, if she enters Thailand using a Thai passport, she doesn't need to do TDAC. In case she enters Thailand with a UK passport, she needs to submit TDAC with UK passport information.
