I have my ticket booked for my second entry in a year from uk and we are staying for 6 weeks . What do I need to do now please??
Answer summary
To prepare for your second entry to Thailand, you need to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online within 3 days prior to your arrival. Ensure you have proof of your ticketed departure, at least 20,000 baht or equivalent, and proof of accommodation for your first few days in Thailand. It is also suggested to have your return flights and accommodations booked for the entire trip. Completing the TDAC may be a new requirement if it wasn't done during your previous visit.

Jon, possibly you didn't complete the TDAC during your first visit as it only began a couple off months ago.

So, go onto the Thai immigration website and complete your Thailand Digital Arrivals Card. It should be completed only within 3 days prior to your entry to the country.

Ensure you make no payment for this electronic card as some are still paying 50 usd etc - it's free kf charge.

On entry to Thailand, they'll scan your passport and all your card details will appear on their database, some tourists still send a copy of the card onto their phone as proof it's even done, be we don't bother.

It's still 60 day visa exempt stamp for must countries, but you need to check for yourself.

yeah, it's a shame many don't remember back to when they had no idea about some aspects of travel and had to ask questions themselves. Enjoy your trip.

You entered before and do not know what to do? Like Andy Traveler said fill out the TDAC before you leave.

always good to ask, especially if they entered before the TDAC came into place.

We were there for 5 weeks this year left beginning of March back for 6 weeks next January so

Same scenario… have return flights and accommodation entire trip booked

And paid.. we were thinking perhaps get tourist visa ( have done before when 30

Days max ) just to make it easier and cover ourselves

Have proof of ticketed departure out, 20,000 baht or equivalent and proof of accommodation for first few days, in case they ask.
