What is the maximum number of days you can stay on TDAC?
There was much noise about it being 30 maximum rather than 30 plus extension which I think could give maximum of 90 days.
Answer summary
The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) is simply an entry card required for all travelers entering Thailand and does not dictate the length of stay. Currently, travelers entering Thailand without a visa (visa-exempt) receive a 60-day stamp upon entry, with a possibility of extending their stay for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office. Some concerns had been raised about potential changes to the visa exemption allowing only a 30-day stay, but as of now, the length remains at 60 days with proper documentation.

Good question.
Thailand’s Immigration Bureau is a Government Department with staff specifically trained to operate their specific procedures in accordance with the current legislation.
Suggest you contact them for a response to your query rather than strangers here on Meta/FB.
If it goes to 30 days visa exemption then u will be only allowed a stay of 2 months then u have to leave .u need a tourist visa to stay longer .I'm hoping if they cut it to 30 days I'm hoping they cut the 2 entrys a year to limited amount of entrys.
Lot of confusion regarding ThailandDigitalArrivalCard = former slip flight crew handed out before landing. Find a pen and all documents in order to get info. I always wondered what the people at immigration said trying to decipher the crow feet’s 🤣
Visa exempt, a number of countries do not need to apply for visa before entering, but still some requirements, onward travel (airline generally do this check as it is their cost), prof of accommodation and at least funds of equivalent 20K baht. Personally never been asked. One time I only wrote the name of accommodation and was order to fill in the correct address.
Visa on arrival several country’s use this and often handled as administration and collecting fee in cash
Traditional VISA, you apply from place of residency to Embassy or consulate before traveling.
I guess the confusion is with younger people from EU/EES with free movement. Older farts like me, had to be more prepared traveling in the olden days.
Thanks to everyone for your comments, as previously stated I’m mistaken, what I need to know, in simple terms without long term visas is, how do I stay for approximately 6 weeks?
0 days. The TDAC has nothing to do with how long you can stay in Thailand. It's an entry card that EVERYONE without a Thai passport must fill out to enter Thailand. Whether you're entering visa exempt or with a 5 year visa, you must fill out a TDAC.
If you're talking about visa exempt, then that still gives a 60 day entry stamp and can be extended one time for 30 days. It may change to giving 30 days on entry at some point.
