how can I do it while waiting in airport security when it’s supposed to be submitted 3 days before arrival 🤦🏼‍♀️

@THAI *****************************

thank you

@Ron *****

that’s what I’m trying to figure out, there tends to be translation ambiguities here. What the official translation is at the moment

“When to Submit Your TDAC

Foreigners should submit their arrival card information 3 days in advance of arriving in Thailand, including the date of arrival. This allows sufficient time for processing and verification of the information provided.”

3 days in advance means minimum 3 days before arrival, but is that the official Thai statement or translation error? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Steven **************

is that your interpretation or are you working with immigration department? I know there can be translation ambiguities with official releases. So I’d understand if you know what the department actually said but the English translation is sounding different.

The official translation is “When to Submit Your TDAC

Foreigners should submit their arrival card information 3 days in advance of arriving in Thailand, including the date of arrival. This allows sufficient time for processing and verification of the information provided.”

@David *****

there used to be arrival & departure cards for many years. You could fill on the flight or at the immigration queue upon arrival. It disappeared for a while now coming back as an online form to be submitted 3 days prior

@Ian ****

it clearly states multiple times 3 days before arrival.

“When to Submit Your TDAC

Foreigners should submit their arrival card information 3 days in advance of arriving in Thailand, including the date of arrival. This allows sufficient time for processing and verification of the information provided.”

@Maxim **********

I don’t think I misunderstood, it clearly says 3 days before

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

why does it say

“When to Submit Your TDAC

Foreigners should submit their arrival card information 3 days in advance of arriving in Thailand, including the date of arrival. This allows sufficient time for processing and verification of the information provided.”

@Nick ***********

it’s NOT about how long it takes to fill the form, it’s about the “must be submitted 3 days prior” that I’m addressing. People can’t book a weekend trip on a whim with this new form.

@Steven **************

the new one just be submitted 3 days prior to arrival, that’s what I’m addressing.
