What information should I provide in the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) as a DTV visa holder?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Hi everyone! I’m on the DTV visa (Workation category) and have a couple of quick questions about the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC):
1. For “Country/Territory of Residence”, should I select Thailand if I rent an apartment here and live in Thailand full-time (no residence anywhere else)? Or should I still put my passport country?
2. For “Purpose of Travel”, is it best to select “Holiday”, since we don’t have a Thai work permit? Or is there a better option for DTV visa holders?
Have any of you entered Thailand after the TDAC was implemented while holding a DTV visa, and what did you do? If you have something else to recommend, please do let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Think of it in the simplest form possible, just as Thai immigration does. Put your home country as residence and tourism as reason. It's called "Workcation", which is a form of vacation.

OPGot it, it sounds like the best option for sure. Did you enter like this? I was hoping to find people here who have entered on a DTV while having filled in the new TDAC.
Also, is departure details OK to leave blank now for us DTV visa holders you think?
