… and then press the red button a few times more to test whether the computer changed its mind… 🤣

It’s not even a visa. It’s an arrival card. Countries created this so the personal information is already in the system so the immigration officer doesn’t have to do it.

Shortening the queues.

@Wayne *******

Why would that be? You can still enter without a tdac after 30 April, but you may expect a long queue. 😉

@Anna ********

I know what “within” means. I’m not as illiterate as most Americans. 🤣

@Lynnette ******

Your wording is equally confusing. “Within 3 days of arriving”, meaning I have three days after arrival to complete? 🤣🤣🤣

@Lynnette ******

That’s my wording! 🤣🤣🤣

The website says “within 3 days” or something and too many conclude it must be no later than 3 days upfront. Confusing and leading to wrong conclusions.

@Brian ********

“At least”. Wonderful translation to English as you can find many in Thailand.

I am quite deep into the tax rules of Thailand as I started a Facebook group on “Thai tax rules for expats”. You won’t believe the unbelievable number of translation errors and misinterpretations of the Thai law with which we deal on almost a daily basis.

That said, we should be grateful that they at least try. I consider that a courtesy to their tourist economy, but keep telling people to “handle with care”.

Thailand Tax rules for expats

@Brian ********

Yep. That would have been the best wording. 👍

@Brian ********

Actually not. It is “maximum 72 hours”. Not “at least”.

Technically “within 72 hours” is the correct expression, but it seems to confuse lots of people.

Theoretically you could fill out the tdac while in the plane (provided you have internet).

@Sajid ****

Yes. You can still enter Thailand without the tdac, but you’ll be in a long waiting line.
