Hi, does anyone know, does the new TDAC, have a time limit?, I read it's 30 days, on a 60 day+30 day on entry visa, that doesn't make sense. I'm assuming it's OK. Also if you're doing a border run (Cambodia), after your 90 days, do you still have to do another DTAC on line, beforehand, while you're still in Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) must be completed within three days of arriving in Thailand, and it is required each time you enter the country, regardless of how many times you leave. The confusion regarding the time limits seems to stem from mixing up the TDAC with visa durations. Additionally, if you plan to do a border run to Cambodia after your initial 90 days in Thailand, you will need to submit a new TDAC application online each time you re-enter Thailand. It's essential to use the official TDAC website to avoid scams.

Also make sure you're using the official TDAC website (there are a LOT of clone sites by companies out there)

You are very confused. The TDAC is an arrival document. Nothing to do with your visa

Nothing to do with 60 days or 30 days or 90 days. It’s got to do with when you arrive and must be completed within three days of your arrival unless you hold a Thai passport.

TDAC is a one time entry digital arrival card, every time you enter you submit a new one even if you leave and enter 3 times per day
