TLDR : Answer Summary
After applying for the arrival card online, the user received an unsolicited e-sim offer for $4.00, raising concerns about its legitimacy. Community members pointed out that such offers are typical of unofficial websites that may try to upsell despite the process being free on the official TDAC site. Users advised ensuring to complete the TDAC application on the official government website to avoid potential scams and recommended repeating the process if not certain.
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.

I went back and had a look. I think you’re right. I think I used a secondary provider called JSSVISA that linked to the TDAC sight. Nothing weird except the e-sim offer at the end which I didn’t do and now I’m happy I didn’t.

the government only allows TDAC to be submitted within 3 days or less before arrival. You are definitely on the way a scam website.

Well the TDAC process looked official and was free and it said I would receive an email within72 hours of departure but then the the E-sim offer appeared which I thought was a little odd and unexpected. Are you suggesting I repeat the process to be sure?

The confirmation was immediate but I’m not travelling until Jan 16th and it said I would receive my TDAC 72 hours prior to my departure.

Sounds like you did one of the non-official websites that offers the TDAC for free but also tries to upsell you. This is the official government site
