90 Day Report question:

The TM-47 asks for “arrival card number”. I haven’t a clue what that number is. 1) is it really necessary? and, 2) can the number be accessed now, several months later? I’ve tried asking Google/AI and cannot get a straight answer.

Thanks in advance!
Answer summary
When filling out the TM-47 for your 90 Day Report, many expats recommend leaving the 'arrival card number' field blank, as it is not required anymore due to the transition to the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), which has replaced the paper version. If you need the number, it can be found on your TDAC, which may have been emailed to you. However, recent experiences indicate that it is often not necessary to provide it for the report.

Leave blank I did one in person yesterday. First 90 day after returning to Thailand from OS. Leave blank no need to get some thing from TDAC.

Blank. The enormous endeavour of creating a new TM47 form without the arrival card number which stopped being used 5 YEARS AGO seems to be too big to be addressed.

Before the TDAC it was a TM6 which I still have and the number is on it. There must be a number on TDAC put that number on it

It's printed on your TDAC (Thai Digital Arrival Card) which will have been emailed to you. Search for "TDAC" in your email inbox.

Is it printed on your previous 90-days registration.

Previously it was paper stapled to your passport. Unfortunately, I can’t remember because it was a few years ago since I had to do that.
