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) online within three days prior to their arrival or utilize kiosks available at airports upon landing. The TDAC is required even for residents returning, though questions regarding its specifics, such as the onward travel section for residents and application for domestic travelers, have arisen. Residents can select Thailand as their country of residence on the TDAC website. Discussions also mention the similarity of this system to those in other Southeast Asian countries, and users have shared their experiences with the digital form.
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.

There's an option for visa no. for the digital arrival card. Where do I find this? I've extended so many times, is it the hand written number on the stamp?

 don't bother filling out any information that doesn't have a red asterisks next to it <- the visa number isn't a required field

 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.

 I doubt it, some borders are very small and don't have the space nor the personnel. Even at Aranyaprathet, they'd send you back to the Poipet side to print documents if you're re-entering there by car or motorcycle.

 there are "touts" on the cambodian side who ask you as of today IF you have a TDAC done. They'll do it for you while you wait, then you can stamp in

 Oh interesting. Maybe they do it for you on their phones. These helpers are also on the Thai side and yep, they're always Cambodian nationals. BTW Cambodian citizens need to fill out the form too, if they're using passports.

 Yeah my experience has been that the Thai side generally doesn't have any photocopy facilities or at least claims they don't. I was once sent back to the Cambodian side to take some additional photocopies of my car registration documents at the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border while re-entering Thailand and that's the biggest and most popular border crossing between the two countries.

The Cambodian side does, because travelers on e-visas often need to print out a copy of their e-visa for departure (Cambodian e-visas are only valid for arrivals at some border crossings, not all, but for exiting the country any international border can be used).

 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

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?

So what are the terminals shown in this picture? Do you have to scan these terminals with your phone your bar code or QR code, or whatever immigration sends you back after your have submitted your form…anybody know?

 the terminals are your last resort if you didn't file before arrival. You'd be sent to the terminal before you get in front of an immigration officer, fill it in, get your TDAC approval sent to your email, or possibly also scan a QR code, show the officer your approval QR code.

 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 😛
