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.

Give me joy, shipmates. I have finally completed the Thai Elite (TE) process.

If you're considering doing this, please allow at least two months(!) to complete it. It was even more in my case because it turned out my bankers are Hoares and Fuggers. And I made the mistake of transferring to my Thai account before transferring to TE. Side note, this step also showed that the actual price is not necessarily just 500k.

Big up to those of you who helped with advice (advise?) and pointers along the way. Owe you a beer or two!

Hi all... I'm going to Cambodia this weekend to submit the DTV application. And I'm trying to complete the Cambodia e-arrival card. However, I have a question. It asks for departure date from Cambodia. I have a flight scheduled on May 7. But I know that's too soon as I won't receive an answer yet on my application. And it will cost me more to change the flight than take a bus. So I decided to skip the return flight and take a bus about a week later (although I don't know the exact date since it depends when I get the DTV). So I'm just wondering if in departure date I'm supposed to put my scheduled flight date because that's what it shows with the airline, even tho I may leave a week later? Or should I put the date of a week later?

I am in a bit of a pickle time-wise. Currently awaiting final approval letter on EEA visa, it should arrive this week or early next one (already paid). However, my current extended TR visa is bound to end on 27.10, so I need to think of plan b).

I wanted to already book a flight to KL and back to Phuket on the same day, as the flight late next week is relatively cheap. Waiting until early next week can double the price probably.

If my approval comes in time, I will schedule EEA affixing for the Phuket entry, that would be plan a).

However if I don't, I wanted to attempt re-entry on exempt and figure out EEA affix later on. That said, same day re-entry via air feels potentially risky.

My visa history is just 3 months last year Nov-Jan (TR+extension+land bounce to get extra 2 days), and 3 months now on TR+extension.

Should I be afraid of getting denied, and should rather plan at least overnight stay in KL? Or perhaps the immigration officer could be more understandable considering I have almost approved EEA (already have approval letter with me)?

Or, traditionally, it's all luck based? 😂

TM.30 self-file by EMS post to Chaeng Wattana - it took them almost 7 weeks to send back confirmation, but finally they did. So be patient folks :)

Actually it would make sense to have TM.30 self-file stands at the luggage collection section on the airports. Then we could do it easily when waiting for luggage.

Tullio Ferri asked in a post that got deleted mistakenly how long to expect to be at Chaengwattana to get ED visa extensions if they leave for the immigration office at 7 AM

also confirming i got my dtv approved today @ phnom penh cambodia, aus passport, living in thailand 2 years (1st year visa runs + 2nd year ed language visa)

-submitted on 16th may via issa compass visa agent

-remote worker

-only had the 500k thb in my account for 3 days before submission (still have it on me in case)

-was not asked for further docs or interview

-upon arriving in cambodia, was told by agent that its become an up-to-a-month process here now

enjoyed my stay in cambodia, no regrets, and to all those that wanna cry about paying for an agent--- kk bro we get it youre the coolest smartest guy known to man... id rather pay a $100-150 for peace of mind + saving my time + having application fee reimbursed if worst case.. i.e. having as much % chance of successful outcome... but i guess im the fool, right?

was going to originally return to thailand via land border, but due to current border dispute just gonna fly + vip fast track
