WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

I’m a kiwi and still have to fill out our one lol

it's a fair question

Yeah, the Kiwis and Aussies always do that. They discriminate against their own citizens. Thais are smarter; they make foreigners do things they don't require for their own.

Yes I mainly asked because I’m heading to Laos in a few weeks and wondered if my Thai GF had to fill one out on re-entry

Nope, she's good to go. Only mr. farang has to (interestingly, so do Laotians, which will cause chaos). Malaysia exempts Singaporeans and vice versa for Singapore. Not sure why Thailand isn't exempting it's neighbors. I can see problems for Lao, Burmese and Cambodian citizens who don't understand English and will be forced to fill out this form in English. While border pass holders will be exempt, those traveling on passports will struggle.

discriminate - "make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of ethnicity, sex, age, or disability."

if rule is same for everyone, where you see discrimination???)

In the case of Australia and New Zealand, they should be exempting their own citizens. Other countries do this. Even the USA wasn't requiring arrival forms for their own citizens while foreigners had to fill out the white or green I-94 forms (depending on whether they were coming with or without a visa).

So yes, it's discrimination because Aus/NZ citizens aren't being given any special privileges despite the fact they are citizens and thus should have more rights than foreigners.

In Thailand's case, the arrival form isn't required for Thais, which is the way it should be.

No, it's a form of discrimination. Most other countries grant privileges to their citizens that foreigners don't get. Australia and New Zealand treat foreigners the same or even better than locals. These two countries are WOKE as f***.
