What does it mean to complete the TDAC arrival card within 3 days before my flight to Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi. With the TDAC arrival card, it says to complete within 3 days. So is that the 3 days prior to your flight arriving into Thailand? I mean, can I still complete it the day before my flight and be okay? Or does it mean to complete it at least 3 days before? I'm just wondering because I'll be waiting on my DTV approval and may need to move my flight if I'm still waiting, so I don't know exactly which day I will fly.

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can complete the TDAC arrival card within 72 hours before your flight to Thailand, meaning any time in the 3 days leading up to your departure is acceptable. If you have a stopover, you should provide the flight details for the leg arriving in Bangkok.

If you have a stopover I take it that it's the flight you arrive in Bangkok on that you provide the details for ?

The calendar to choose your date of arrival only lets you go back 3 days. So you can do it any time within those 3 days
