Even those holding Diplomatic and Official/Service/Government Passports (and thus, diplomatic, consul, and official Thai Visa's) must all submit a TDAC

Well, from 09 May 2025 to 04 November 2025 = 180 days

There are Kiosks (tablets) to apply for and fill out TDAC at Thai Immigration Arrival at Thai Airports

Why troll in a Facebook Group with a focus on Thai Visa topics?

However, to answer your question, a suggestion to look at a map, atlas, or globe would easily answer why a flight from USA to Europe would be shorter than a flight from USA to Thailand.

Also, United Airlines (UA) has flown and will fly again to Bangkok

This is just like in Cambodia, where they too have kiosks (tablets) to fill out "Digital Arrival Cards" at their arrival area in their airports, and TDAC is similar to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, etc. so TDAC or " ตม.6 ออนไลน์ " should not be something that travelers entering Thailand should be overly worried about....

Hopefully, arrival queues at Thai Immigration do not go too crazy during May 2025 because of TDAC!

Yeah, because some of the very first initial DTV Extensions were issued without UC Stamps, but it seems that nowadays, a DTV Extension would be after an UC Stamp

@Stuart ********

At Phuket, did the Thai Immigration Office immediately issue a DTV Extension, or, did they get an Under Consideration (U/C) Stamp first, then subsequently went in again to get the actual Extension Stamp?

@Daniel ******

Of course my initial Comment is relevant because it is pertinent information that Hong Kong is NOT a part of China for Mainland China immigration and transit purposes, and Hong Kong is NOT a part of China's Visa–Free Transit Policy

Therefore, you would be making a direct entry into China at Beijing, as Hong Kong is NOT 1 of the 60 Ports of Entry China has specified for their 10-Day Visa-Free Transit Policy
