TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, the TDAC application process does require you to provide an email address. This is where confirmation details, including a QR code and a PDF, will be sent after completing the application. It is important to use the official government website for the application to avoid scams.
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 tdac.in.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.

Make sure you use the offical site its free people are paying for it

tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/home

Yes that's where you get confirmation right away for your records so you can show immigration when you arrive so they dont send you to another line to do it, ask you to step aside to do it on your phone. If you already have proof of it you get in line and they check you in.

It asks you basically everything. Give a phony email address if you are concerned about them tracking you.

@Oswald ******
bad advice, as the confirmation QR code that you need is sent to your email address that you entered on the TDAC website.

@Pui ****
Hmmm, in that case give a real email, but abandon it right after receiving the QR code. But by this time there must surely be fraudulent QR codes that you can purchase from agents, right?

@Oswald ******
the QR code is tied into your exact passport number, as the immigration officer will be able to see it on their screen as well, so you can't use a generic QR code or one not tied to your specific online submission.

Make sure you use the "FREE" Government Online Application.

Evidently there are a few scam sites that ask for a fee.

Yes... It's where they send the confirmation PDF

Like most forms, you enter information in the relevant boxes. The important/essential ones have an asterix. Take a look.

Also what does it matter if it is at the beginning or end just put it where it ask.

Yes. It sends the confirmation QR code to your email.
