ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

TDAC (THAILAND DIGITAL ARRIVAL CARD) 

Starting May 1st anyone entering thailand is required to fill out the TDAC before the stamp in. 

You can do it online with the website from 3 days before your arrival right down to your arrival here 

IF you can't do it before you get here, there are kiosks set up before passport control to fill it out once you land 

remember anyone arriving after 12:01am May 1st has to fill one out 

here's the website 

[members only]

Also for people who live here 

you CAN select thailand as your Country of Residence, then it will give the +66 for your thai number and you can select the province you live in

TLDR : Answer Summary

Starting May 1st, all individuals entering Thailand must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) prior to passport control. This can be done online at least three days before arrival or at kiosks available at the airport upon landing. The new requirement applies only to international arrivals, not domestic travelers. Residents can select Thailand as their country of residence on the TDAC form. The community discusses details regarding filling out the form, the accessibility of kiosks, and specific questions about travel logistics and visa extensions.

what are you asking? There is no TDAC for domestic travel you do it before you stamp IN to the country

the TDAC has a section for departing flight. However I just reviewed it again and realized it is not a mandatory field, so non-issue.

I asked about kiosks at land borders when I reentered Thailand by car the other day. The officer told me he has no idea but doesn't look like it. Most likely you'll need to use your laptop or smartphone to fill it out or borrow one. Best advice if traveling by land is to fill it out on your laptop while at your hotel the day you cross back to Thailand.

no, it wasn't an available option earlier, but the Thai government was going to add it for those foreigners living in Thailand. If you've already submitted a form, you can go to the website and use the "update" option and you should find it is available now, as

mentioned at the end of the original post.

This is just like in Cambodia, where they too have kiosks (tablets) to fill out "Digital Arrival Cards" at their arrival area in their airports, and TDAC is similar to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, etc. so TDAC or " ตม.6 ออนไลน์ " should not be something that travelers entering Thailand should be overly worried about....

Hopefully, arrival queues at Thai Immigration do not go too crazy during May 2025 because of TDAC!

I guess these TDAC kiosks will communicate directly with the immigration then so no print or digital QR-code is needed?

nope, you will go to the kiosk , log on to the internet, fill the form in and get a QR code via your email then proceed to immigration/passport control

Ok, then I guess it could be a bit murky anyway as internet connection and smart phones are a bit of the main issue here.

hi Paul…..how things change so quickly….I worked in both Manila and Phnom Penh pre- COVID days and at that time I can’t imagine either country having such technology at their airports…Thailand catching up with the rest of Asia it seems 😁…on a side note as a point of interest, I loved living/working in cambodia, very relaxed and friendly place

you're asking questions BEFORE anyone has used the system yet..

Those are for people who weren't able to file a TDAC onlin with the website during the 3 days before they arrived here.

I think people will find out how it will work starting at 12:01AM on May 1st 😛
