How do I complete a DTAC application for a stopover when my departure and arrival dates are different?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Has anyone completed a DTAC application successfully where they are doing a stopover? For example my departure date is different from my arrival date, so it won’t let me enter the departure date only the arrival! I suppose I just enter the same date for both; the arrival date?
Answer summary
Many users have shared their experiences completing a DTAC application while having a stopover. It is generally accepted to enter the arrival date into Thailand from your flight details, and the departure date from Thailand may be left blank, as it is not mandatory. Users confirmed that entering the details of the flight arriving in Bangkok suffices, regardless of a stopover in another country.

OPApologies, but I think the departure date refers to when I leave Thailand? As I’m resident I’ll leave this blank.

The tdac asks for arrival date into thailand and leaving date from thailand (this is optional so no need to fill it in).

No need for departure details.

They ask your departure date from Thailand? Are you sure? I put my departure date from UK to Thailand.

You just enter the details of your flight into Bangkok - not your original flight

It has nothing to do with being a resident. You dont need to enter a departure date because that field doesn't have an *. It's an arrival card,nothing elseDavid **********
