What’s happening with the DTV and new digital entry on May 1st?

Apperently you need to input an outbound flight? Obviously this shouldn’t really apply to DTV or those with work permits

TLDR : Answer Summary
The recent updates regarding the Digital Travel Authorization Card (TDAC) indicate that, starting May 1st, all non-Thai citizens, including those holding DTVs and work permits, must complete a new digital entry form when entering Thailand. Although some users expressed concerns about mandatory departure flight details, comments clarified that these details are not required. The new digital form replaces the old paper-based form provided on flights and aims to simplify the entry process for all foreign visitors to Thailand.

don’t overthink it. it will be super easy and not strict at all. would most likely even be able to fill it out at arrival airport…

It's for EVERYONE that isn't a Thai citizen. It's just replacing an old paper form they used to hand out on the plane with a new digital form. Many countries have a similar system.

I went through the form on a dummy run, assuming a land based entry by car. I entered a car license plate for entry and while I also entered the same one for exit there is no need to enter outbound travel details.

The real problem is the form asks for country of residence and Thailand isn't an option lol

Thailand never considers a nonThai part of their country. You are just a guest and ATM. If you can accept that, you can have the best life here.

@Bryan *******
you just put your origin country is fine. Even though I’m living here in Thailand, I just put my country.

The version that goes live will have Thailand as a residence option.

You don't need to input outbound travel derails.

From what I’ve read, all visa statuses are required to complete the TDAC when coming into Thailand by air, land and sea.

Everyone except citizens
