What is the TDAC and what do you need to know about it before arriving in Thailand?

@Frangipani ******

you're confusing citizen with resident, which are distinct statuses. Seems possible that the site will ask for "citizen" status instead, given that it has already asked for a passport number.

There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the wording "within" 72 hours.

In other words, this means:

- "at most 72 hours" before arrival

-"not more than 72 hours" before arrival

Good luck to all.

@Brian ********

I think you meant "at most". Otherwise you've completely changed the meaning.

What should I do about my trip to Thailand with the potential new visa policy for Canadians?

Benjamin *********

It only changed from 30 to 60 days in July 2024. From what I recall, there were posts/discussion/etc for a few months about it before it was actually implemented

Why was I denied entry to Thailand and how can I ensure a stamp next time?

Benjamin *********

fair enough, but if immigration told him he needs a visa do they flag that in the system? I wouldnt risk it. Same happened to me awhile back, but luckily they let me through at the time and said next time you need a visa or you won't be let in again.

I'm sure they would have told you what to do - get a visa for your next entry. Your visa exemption days are over.

@Brandon ***********

#2 seems like a strange requirement as many people will continue travelling to other countries rather than "return to the country of origin".

"They" don't send you anywhere. You choose to go and come back immediately.
