I have a Non Imm O Visa and extension of stay based on retirement. When completing TDAC where do I find my Visa No. ?

I have a question. Coming Tuesday I will be leaving from Thailand to Malaysia and return back the next day. As DTV holder do I need to fill TDAC form and if yes, what should I fill in departure date and flight info? Cuz I don’t know yet. It will be in next 6 months.

With the new DTAC requirement from May 1st can we assume the proposed ETA has been scrapped as they would require the same information ?

Submitting a printed TDAC for an application to an extension?

Yesterday, I read a report that initially puzzled me.

You all know and are aware of the requirement to fill out and submit the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card), which has been in effect since May 1, 2025. It can be completed starting 72 hours before your planned arrival in Thailand.

As soon as you receive the TDAC QR code via email, you should definitely print it out and take it with you. Why is that?

You won't be explicitly asked for it at the immigration counter anymore, because the immigration officer can see it on their computer screen after scanning your passport. And you can theoretically show it on your phone.

BUT:

According to a recent report, Immigration will require a copy of the TDAC signed by you in blue ink, when applying for the next one-year extension of stay. And most likely soon, the same when applying for the 30-day tourist extension.

To date (August 16, 2025), there has only been one report on this. However, I am expecting more of those to appear.

It's somewhat understandable, because previously, you had to present your TM6 departure card when applying for the one-year extension of stay, and the same applied when one applied for the 30-day touristic extension.

When the TM6 was abolished almost three years ago for air travel and later also for land travel, I had to react.

I had long since removed the fact that you no longer had to present the TM6 departure card from my consultation templates – and now it will probably be added back to the list of requirements of the various immigration offices as proof of a completed TDAC.

By informing people about this, I can at least prevent you from having to leave the immigration office empty-handed if they ask for a printout of your TDAC and you unfortunately don't have it with you on this day

Be prepared and always expect the unexpected

Question:

So...

If I leave the USA on June 6,@1230(Friday)..with lay over in Japan ,and touch down, in BKK @1155(Saturday june7th)...

When would be the best time to put in the TDAC?

Wendy? Or Thursday?

) being it has to be 3 days exact...

ThankI for the info.😊

Hi there, Need some advice please..Coming to Thailand in January for a month…4 days Bangkok then a week to Vietnam before returning to Thailand…Do I need to apply for a separate TDAC to get back into Thailand from Vietnam ? Or will my original TDAC to gain entry to Thailand be sufficient? Thanks for any help…Regards George.

I am a non-O visa (retirement) holder with a multiple re-entry permit. When I return home from outside Thailand do I need to do a TDAC?

Hi when filling the TDAC card online can it be done before the 3day arrival date as I tried and it would not let me. Also do you still have to register with immigration when you arrive?

**ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) **

It would appear that the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (the system that replaces the old TM6 paper arrival/departure cards) has an operational website..

It would also appear in the user manual that this is for EVERY foreign traveler who enters thailand by air or land.

Here's the link;

[members only]

They have good video about how it works and the user guide is also easy to understand.

Other than the earlier announcement saying it would start May 1 there has been no update

Just wanted people to know it appears to be 'up and running' 🙂

I am NOT telling people to start using it, just that it would appear it's actually going to roll out (hopefully when they say May 1)

Question:

-- Can I just do the TDAC @ BKK before going thru Immagration?
