Hi all.

I have a question about the TDAC. I'm flying out to Bangkok next Sunday the 28th. Will the weekend delay the processing of my TDAC if I apply on Friday the 26th?

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) does not require traditional processing. Once submitted, you receive a QR code instantly, and there are no approvals or checks involved. Therefore, applying on a Friday should not delay your arrival, and it can be completed quickly, even if changes occur later. However, it's important to apply within three days of arrival.
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.

It has to be done Within 3 Days of arrival. If the worse came to the worse, you can do it on arrival with WiFi.

No my flight was on a Monday and I filled out Friday night and got it instantly. Then I was in transit in KL and changed flight to arrive in Bangkok earlier and updated TDAC and still instantly. But check your spam as mine was in junk mail

Its an arrival card so nothing gets processed It is just a notification of your arrival

There is no processing. You submit it and get a QR code. No one is checking or approving.
