What country and flight number should I put on my TDAC when transiting through Dubai?

You’re from every place you have ever been. Does that help? (ducking and running 5)

Port of Origin... not the one you transit through. And the flight number you arrive on.

...so thats Newcastle + your dubai-bkk flight number

Lot of people didnt have common sense nowdays

Newcastle 💯%

Someone already posted that the Q&A on the TDAC says best to put departure country airport (like UK) not the transit one, but the flight number is the one for the plane you get off.

Can you only apply for this 3 days before you travel?..or can it be done several months before you go?

I’m the same flying from Manchester stop over and change plane what flight number should I put ?

Dubai.

Up to you

Amazes me how some people manage to even get on the Internet if they have to ask stupid questions like this.

U.k. ! .👍

It’s the uk

This should be called thailand advise for dummies 🙄😂

What does it say on the boarding card that you will hand to the immigration officer?

Newcastle?

Dubai?

It's Dubai so you put Dubai on TDAC.

Dubai

I'm not sure i would get terribly excited about this, it's the same question they asked when the landing card was issued many years ago. I know when I fly out of Manchester I will use UK as my departure country even though I pass through Doha on my way to Bangkok. If you look at the TDAC for UK people there is also a separate Scotland option!!! So you can choose!!! Also they have choice of cities where you live back in the UK, the options here are all mixed up!! You have a choice of cities and counties!!! So the system isn't perfect so make a choice and enjoy thailand

The plane that arrives in bangkok

The flight from Newcastle has a number, it goes to Dubai not Bangkok and it may confuse the system so use the flight number from Dubai.

If you transited through Dubai without going through passport control, you originally boarded in Newcastle. If you went through passport control and had a stopover, then you boarded in Dubai.

The reason for this is that if you are refused entry, you are returned to the last country that admitted you in rather than your country of citizenship. Eg. a Nigerian arriving in Sydney on a direct flight from New Zealand who gets refused immigration clearance gets sent back to NZ. If he arrives from Lagos on a flight with a transit in Dubai, he goes back to Lagos. If he had a Dubai stopover, he would go to Dubai. If he gets refused entry there, immigration would require Emirates to take him back to Nigeria or a third county willing to admit him.

There are protocols and agreements in place for all this.

I put UK not UAE as we just switched planes in Dubai. It was fine. They don't even look at the TDAC at Passport control.

You only had 2 choices… some say Dubai and some Newcastle.

1. Are you glad you asked here?

2. Which of these strangers are you going to believe?

🙆🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

Dubai ain’t a country 😅

Newcastle

Original point of boarding

Uk m8 ie Newcastle

Newcastle 100 percent

Your departure country is where you first boarded the plane and your flight No is the one you land in Thailand so it will be Newcastle

If you watch Live Love Thailand's latest video, it will answer all kinds of questions like these. Your answer here is that, as long as you didn't leave the airport on your connecting flight, you always put where you've boarded initially, which is Newcastle. It doesn't matter how many connecting flights you have, you don't them down on the TDAC.

If you stayed airside in Dubai you never actually entered the country so it's original boarding place

I'm putting UK, which is where I board for the start of my journey on one booking reference. I also printed my e-ticket. As the airline requested that. I decided putting the transit airport looked like I came from that country, so not going to do it that way.

Dubai

According the FAQ of TDAC in case of a flight with transit the boarding country is that from Newcastle but flight number is that from dubai

See the following video

Il be doing mine later this year why not the flight you start on from uk before doing Dubai flight just curious thankyou

Dubai mate
