With the new Thailand arrival card how can I give details for a departure if I don’t exactly have those details 5 to 6 months out for a DTV?

FYI... this appeared on a forum today about the ease of using the New TDAC Arrival Card

"Sharing my experience in case others are worried.

My arrival in Thailand is scheduled for May 1st. Initial concerns regarding the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) application proved unfounded. The process was completed in under five minutes; the application was simple and straightforward. The email confirmation/QR code were received immediately, with a convenient download option also provided after submission. The entire experience was seamless and straightforward."

TDAC (THAILAND DIGITAL ARRIVAL CARD)

Starting May 1st anyone entering thailand is required to fill out the TDAC before the stamp in.

You can do it online with the website from 3 days before your arrival right down to your arrival here

IF you can't do it before you get here, there are kiosks set up before passport control to fill it out once you land

remember anyone arriving after 12:01am May 1st has to fill one out

“The system is fully ready, and backup measures are in place to ensure smooth operations. During the initial phase, travelers who encounter any issues can temporarily use a paper immigration form.

Hi all sorry if this has been asked already i did try search, do I need to fill in a TDAC before may 1st if im already in Thailand but about to pass that date? Or is it just for entering and as im here already I dont need to? Thanks 🙏🏻

I will be arriving in Thailand on 3rd of May- leaving U.K 2nd of May. Unfortunately, after studying many posts regarding new TDAC visa I still do not know weather to apply more than 3 days or less than 3 days before arrival. Please clarify many thanks.

Hello all, i have a question : do i already need to fill the Thailand Digital Arrival Card if i go to Thailand on the 10th of April ? I read it only starts in May but i’m not sure anymore. Thanks !

TDAC – A Friendly Clarification (and a Little Nudge)

A few days ago, I made a post about the Thailand Digital Arrival Card.

(The comment section has since been closed – not sure why).

Here’s the link to the original post:

And here’s the official update from TAT: 2 hours old.

> *“Long-term or permanent foreign residents in Thailand are advised to select ‘Thailand’ under ‘Country of Residence,’ which will be available once the system is activated.”*

So yes – Thailand was initially missing from the dropdown. That was an error, which I confirmed directly with TAT. It will be there when the system goes live.

In my own case – having previously held a NON-B visa and now holding a DTV – I am supposed to select Thailand as my country of residence, because I have my apartment here, live here, pay tax here, and is here 300+ days a year.

I must say it’s been amusing to read some of the confident “expert” answers in the group with things they don't know anything about.

So here’s a kind request:

Let’s try to stick to facts and official sources when giving advice – especially in a group where people rely on accurate information. Guessing can be fun, but it’s not always helpful. 😉
