Can I still get my visa at airport like before?

I question for anyone who has just arrived in Bangkok by air. This may be a little long but I still confused by the immigration officers response.

I arrived early this morning from the US. Going through the immigration line and the officer looked at my passport and the Digital Arrival Card. I did the DAC at home and going through the questions, the boxes for “ where are you staying” and “On ward travel or return flight” were grayed out and you could not enter anything. So I tried it twice same thing. I went ahead with the process and it let me. Within minutes I received the email as completed and then printed it out which was one page. I also copied the QR code.

When she saw the DAC paper work she asked “ where is the second page, where are you staying and how long do you plan to stay. I am staying with a friend and had the address. She also wanted their name and phone number which I had. I had booked a flight to Cambodia out about 55 days in case I was asked this. I had planned on 60 days visa eexempt and possibly applying for the 30 day extension. Long story short she called my friend, apparently ask our relationship, ask how long I was staying and then told them they would need to take me to immigration ansi would need to get a Visa to stay longer. Now mins you, she only told them this and did not tell me. She finally stamped my pass port and I met my friends outside. They then told me what she said and none of us understood why she would say I need to go to immigration and get a Visa.

So if anyone may have an idea or if you are flying in just be aware of what they may be looking for on the DAC and hopefully you do not have the same issue. Thanks

Do you use the TDAC before you leave your home country .

Just entered with TDAC. Easy application except for the clumsy country drop down lists. Doesn't seem to have made any improvement on immigration but not an issue for me as my flight always arrives early morning.

Long time since I’ve filled in something like TDAC. If flying from Brisbane, Australia,transit in Singapore is it Brisbane I put on the card?

I fly to Thailand every January for 30 days vacation, is the passport enough?

Ich du jedesmal Januar nach Thailand Fliegen für 30 Tage Urlaub reicht da der Reisepass?

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."

Hello,

Let's say I get the DTV via email (not happened yet 😞 ) at something like 3pm. Can I take a 7pm flight the same day to Thailand or is the DTV only activated the next day?

Will the new TDAC forms need to be printed out or will a screenshot work for entry after May 1?

Anyone that is familiar with the China Visa free transit scheme can you tell me if I leave from Thailand then layover in Hong Kong on the way to Beijing, that means I am entering from Hong Kong not Thailand correct?
