So, What Exactly Is the TDAC?
The TDAC is essentially a digital form that replaces the traditional TM6. It allows travellers to fill out and submit all necessary entry information before they even leave home.
The form is quick to complete (once you know what you need), and it includes:
Personal Details: Full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number.
Travel Info: Flight number, arrival date, accommodation address, purpose of visit.
Health Declaration: A few basic questions to support ongoing health and safety screening protocols.
You’ll need to complete the form within 72 hours of your scheduled arrival in Thailand. Once submitted, you’ll receive a confirmation email or QR code, which must be shown—alongside your passport—when you land

Answer summary
The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) is a new digital form that replaces the traditional TM6 card, allowing travelers to submit entry information before arriving in Thailand. Required details include personal information, travel specifics, and a health declaration, which must be completed within 72 hours of arrival. A confirmation email or QR code must be shown upon landing. It's mandatory for all travelers, regardless of visa status, including short visits or long-term residency.

I'm sure it'll run as smooth as silk in May.

Also it can be completed at the airport on arrival if you forget. You just delay your departure from the airport

Yes. All foreigners have to do this when travelling to Thailand. Even if you have a long stay visa or any visa of any sort, you have to do it every time before you enter Thailand.
Even if you live in Thailand and just fly out for a meeting to Malaysia and you are out the country for just six hours, you have to do it before you enter Thailand.

For those who have traveled to countries already using arrival cards(what ever name they use) it's a standard procedure
