Where do I put my departure location on the TDAC when transiting through Singapore to Thailand?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Long time since I’ve filled in something like TDAC. If flying from Brisbane, Australia,transit in Singapore is it Brisbane I put on the card?
Answer summary
The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) requires you to specify your departure point when flying to Thailand. If you're flying from Brisbane, Australia, and transiting through Singapore, you should indicate Australia as your departure point. However, ensure you also input the flight number of your final leg into Thailand (from Singapore to your destination in Thailand). Additionally, if you're on a single ticket for the transit, it simplifies the entry process; otherwise, ensure compliance with any customs requirements in Singapore.

@Dennis *********

@John *******
you can go back in and make changesBrandon ************
Most Thai forms want to know the flight that will land you in Thailand. That's also the boarding pass that they will ask for at immigration.

As I understand it, you enter the country from which you are departing on your final flight into Bangkok (Singapore) and that same flight number. BTW, are you on a single ticket for your SIN transit, or will you clear customs and check-in separately? If the latter, you will need to complete a Singapore digital arrival card.

Others mentioned this. I've not looked at the TDAC yet but it probably wants to know where you're leaving from as in departure point. Transit isn't really an originating departure point because you've not entered that country.

OP@Lynnette ******
thanks I thought so. Just checking.Lynnette *******
@Diana ******
Brandon says either will work. He's the oracle so I'll see if mine gets accepted on Tuesday. 😉Lynnette *******
I'll be there almost a month this time. I have family there.
Diana *******
OP@Lynnette ******
thanks. How long are you staying in Thailand?Lynnette *******
@Diana ******
ok. I wonder what others have put.Diana *******
OP@Lynnette ******
please let me know if you have time. He is very knowledgeable. Very clear.
But good to know what your experience is. I’m leaving end of the month so can’t do it yet.
Lynnette *******
@Diana ******
just checked my flight number, from UK is not same as my arrival flight number! So would probably be the country I transit through as the flight originated there. Not at all sure. Lol. I think I'll stick with Heathrow as that's where I start my flights.Activity
