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.

**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;

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)

Arrival post,

Got approved for the DTV visa two months ago, arrived a month later than my original intended arrival date. Immigration officer seemed happy that I had a visa, and said that most people aren’t getting appropriate visas at the moment. (I believe people have to apply for a visa exemption on arrival pre departure now, but a lot of people aren’t) stamped me in and said after 180 days to leave Thailand, and then come back for a new stamp. Whole process took 2-3 minutes, didn’t ask for any documentation etc. just had a print out of my visa. 🙂

I have searched, but can not find the answer.

American. I would like the visa exempt, as i have gotten in the past.

I may be confused, but do i need to some how electronically inform Thai immigration that i plan to arrive? I thought i read someplace somethibg more was involved than just showing up.

Can i just fly into bkk as i have years gone by?

Thanks

Hi there. I will be arriving at Suvarnabumhi next week with a brand new Irish passport. It has a new number. Is there any problem with this? How do they pull up my travel history? Should I bring my old passport just in case? Is my name n fingerprints enough?

Hi Brainstrust,

Question:

I have a DTV Visa and will be arriving into Thailand in November.

I do not have a return/departing ticket booked as I didn’t need to have or prove a return flight as part of the DTV application process.

Am I going to run into any issues at immigration when arriving in Thailand? Or does having a DTV exclude that requirement?

Many 🙏 thx

Hi everyone

Just a quick question: I will be arriving in September. I'm staying about 20 days. I haven't been to Thailand since 2012. At immigration is it now the case that you have to say exactly where you are staying? I used to write on the form Bangkok or Ubon and was never questioned about it or asked for more details.

Please advise

Thanks in advance
