@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

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.”

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.

What about people who book a flight last minute? I’ve done that many times; depressed after a week of long work days, have a drink on a Thursday night thinking “I need a weekend getaway” and bought flights to depart Friday 😂What happens then? At least the paper version could have been filled in during the flight or on arrival

PS I’m NOT talking about how long it takes to fill the form, it’s about the “must be submitted 3 days prior” that I’m addressing.
