Which country should I select in the TDAC form as the boarding country: UK or Qatar?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question or if it’s been answered before, but in the TDAC form when it says ‘Country/Territory where you boarded’ do I select UK as that’s the beginning of my journey or do I select Qatar which is where I’ll have my connecting flight? Thank you in advance!
Answer summary
When filling out the TDAC (Thailand Declaration Form), travelers are advised to select the country where their journey began. Most commenters suggest choosing the UK if it is the origin of the trip, regardless of connections in Qatar. They emphasize that since the form is intended to reflect the starting point of the journey, it should typically be the UK unless a different flight was boarded in Qatar. It's also important to ensure this information matches what has been submitted on the visa application.

I put where I boarded and started my journey, UK. The connecting flight was delayed and flight number changed so it would have been pointless to put that, especially as I didn't start my journey there. It was accepted as UK and I'll stick to that next time too.

Its where you started that mainly of use to them if you have come from a yellow fever country and then have to do health declaration and submit yellow fever card. Not applicable to you

If you applied for visa , cos your over the 60 days , then I would put what you put on the visa. I am connecting Dubai and I put Dubai, as the place where I am boarding to Bkk I also put this on the visa, was all accepted . I would imagine it has to match the visa.I am also coming from UK

I will be entering visa exempt but I wasn’t sure if it was the UK or Qatar since I will change flights at Doha…Graeme ******
@Jason *****
hi Jason I'm not sure that it matters as I have flown from uk via dubai aswell and still used uk as my starting point and then used the flight number from dubai to bangkok as the arrival flight, again never a problem. From my perspective since I live in the uk not dubia or doha then if there was an issue i dont want to be returned to my transfer airport but to my country of origin which is the uk, thats the reason I always say uk is where I started my journeyJason ******
@Graeme *****
yeah u got a good point, however I don't want to be flown back to UK ever , I hate the shit hole now . . They can send me Africa if they want , I don't care , I just dont want rip off UK .Graeme ******
@Jason *****
agree unfortunately I still have a house in the uk 😁Graeme ******
I have flown many times from uk via doha and always put from UK as that was the start of my journey then I put the flight number as that from Qatar to bangkok. Every time it has been accepted
