When filing for the TDAC is the arrival date considered Day 1 or is Day 1 the day before arrival? Example: I arrive on July 3. Is July 1 the earliest I can submit for the card?
Answer summary
The earliest you can submit for the TDAC is 72 hours before your flight arrival time, counting from the day you land in Thailand. If you arrive on July 3, you can begin submitting your application as early as July 1. Some users suggest doing it 2 days before to avoid any time constraints.

It's just another hoop that Thailand wants you to jump through whilst bemoaning the lack of tourists. KISS = Keep It Simple, Stupid. Now they're racially discriminating against foreign drivers despite doing nothing about their own drivers whose record is the 2nd WORST in the world. 14,144 deaths last year = nearly 40 every DAY! These are official figures which are not the whole truth.

Try it the last day you can before leaving. It will show available days. Or try today's date, just don't submit

It's 72 hours from day of arrival. You know what day you land, just count back from there. You can fill it in even on day you arrive, before you pass immigration.

I assume that's 72 hours using or within the Thailand time zone. So, if I'm in the US I need to adjust for the time difference.

it's the date on your ticket you'll arrive. It's an arrival card. For date you arrive.

Go safe and apply 48 hours before arrival, then both days will be possible
