TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, the new TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) rule applies to all foreigners entering Thailand, regardless of the visa type they hold, including DTV, LTR, ED, O visas, and even diplomatic passports. All non-Thai citizens must complete the TDAC before arrival, which can be done up to three days in advance.
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.

These sites are operated by AGENTS CO., LTD., a trusted company that has served hundreds of thousands of travelers to Thailand.

The official TDAC service 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.

It applies to all foreigners entering Thailand regardless of what visa you hold, it’s really pretty simple.

Even those holding Diplomatic and Official/Service/Government Passports (and thus, diplomatic, consul, and official Thai Visa's) must all submit a TDAC

Can I do it just before boarding the flight or it takes time to get a confirmation?

@Hilik *******
There are TDAC kiosks in International Arrivals Area of Thai Airports before queue into the Thai Immigration lines for those who had not yet submitted a TDAC before landing

Yes.

Yes, yes and yes.

Every single non Thai must do it every single time they want to enter Thailand. Even if you leave Thailand for a couple of hours for a meeting, you still have to do it.

Every foreigner has to do it, visa or visa exempt

Non thais are required to complete one before entering. Do up to 3 days before arriving. So either day 3-2-1.

Do you have a Thai passport? If not, then you do a TDAC
