TLDR : Answer Summary
A traveler at an airport experienced issues with the TDAC system not accepting their address. Despite this, they received a QR code. Responses suggest they should be okay with the QR code, as it might not be checked, but they may be asked about the address at passport control. Many users share their experiences, indicating that not being able to enter an address is common and usually not problematic, as immigration checks the information linked to the passport. Some recommend writing down an address to provide if needed.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

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 agents.co.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.

Sometimes it does not allow you to add an address other times it does,I have done it twice now and only the second time it allowed me to add an address
Mitch ********
They didn't check my tdac. I arrived last week
Richie *******
@Mitch *******
They did check it or you wouldn't be there now lol 😆 😂
Mitch ********
@Richie ******
no one asked to see my phone or QR code ? And no one checked my uncles when he arrived yesterday also. Walked through customs. Did the pass port check. Finger print check and that was all
Richie *******
@Mitch *******
Becouse the TDAC is linked to your passport once you hand that over it all pings up on there screen. If you had not done the TDAC you would have been pulled aside and not let through untill you done it.
Mitch ********
@Richie ******
that makes more sense then :) people were telling me that customs asked to see their phone and scan their QR code
Richie *******
@Mitch *******
No mate its all linked to your passport 😉
Mike *******
Do this before you get there!
Jeroen ***********
Works perfect
Mark ******
Have QR code should be all good
Jimmy ****
Do you fill out TDAC everytime entering Thailand?
Ernst *********
Just print your address out and hand it to the immigration officer.

No problem, it happens to may people.
Jack ******
No problem. My wife had same problem last month returning from KL. The immigration officer just asked for address which in her case was printed on her Thai driving licence. Just have an address written out and hand it over.
Seán *******
Its working very well! As can be seen in the comments its wedding out undesirables. Very quick getting VOA stamp at BKK
Troy *********
Same thing happened to me so went Vietnam instead last month.......
Sue **********
@Troy ********
You chose Vietnam because you were not able to fill out the entry card? Well then lets hope Vietnam is not going to follow all these countries in the world already having digital entry forms, this will get hard for you to travel 😉
Troy *********
@Sue *********
i travel to Thailand every two weeks first time I couldn't get in since June last year but your right I heard not to panic next time and do it at the airport on arrival.
John ********
I doubt if the address is a big issue. As they will get that from the TM30 when you check into your hotel.

TDAC is a mechanism to capture your name and identity to check out your background, check if you are not blacklisted, check you not on the wanted list etc before attempting to enter the Country.
Steve ***********
Not like they are gonna check
Phil ******
@Chris ***

Dean *******
Don't know why I bothered, walked straight through PP, absolute shambles
THAI ******************************
@Dean ******
Your TDAC shows up on their screen.

If you did not complete it they would have not let you pass.
Paul *********
Wouldn't let me either, still got in no issues
Maxi ******

@Paul *******
thanks Paul. This is the information I was looking for…I tried two devices and safar/chrome but the address field was the only one I couldn’t engage with.
Jim ********
They did check but you are unaware that they did
Matthew ********
and they wonder why its dead.
Jason ********
@Matthew *******
are you serious? You think something that takes 2 min will stop people from going? Get real man. 😉
Paul **********
@Jason *******
He’s only asking
THAI ******************************
@Jason *******
It's a little longer than that.

On average it's 5 minutes per traveler so a group of 4 is around 10-15 minutes.

Many still arrive at the airport without it, and have to complete it there, so it's not stopping anyone from flying.
Jason ********
The average is 3-5 minutes.

You just be mentally challenged or have a low IQ if you can’t do it in less than 3. I think it’s the latter😉
Bill *******
@Jason *******
I did it waiting in line…
Matthew ********
@Jason *******
2 minutes my arse.
Sylvia ********
@Matthew *******
this procedure is in many airports not only Thailand, I needed one to go to Malaysia in February
Matthew ********
be ok when people get use to it.card on the plane was best.
Tony ********
Just Find Any Hotel Address For First Night
Lynnette *******
You've got it issued so you should be ok. If not they might ask you when you go through passport control.
Rick *******
If you got the card, you're good..... If there are issues, you can always re-do at the airport in BKK
