Last Updated: January 5th, 2026 12:44 PM
View the detailed original TDAC form guideThe Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is an online form that has replaced the paper-based TM6 arrival card. It provides convenience for all foreigners entering Thailand by air, land, or sea. The TDAC is used to submit entry information and health declaration details before arriving in the country, as authorized by the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand.
The TDAC streamlines entry procedures and enhances the overall travel experience for visitors to Thailand.

All foreigners entering Thailand are required to submit the Thailand Digital Arrival Card before their arrival, with the following exceptions:
Foreigners should submit their arrival card information within 3 days before arriving in Thailand, including the date of arrival. This allows sufficient time for processing and verification of the information provided.
While it is advisable to submit within this 3-day window, you may submit earlier. Early submissions remain in a pending state and the TDAC will be issued automatically once you are within 72 hours of your arrival date.
The TDAC system streamlines the entry process by digitizing information collection previously done on paper. The system offers two submission options:
You can submit for free within 3 days before your arrival date, or submit earlier anytime for a small fee (USD $8). Early submissions are automatically processed when it becomes 3 days before arrival, and your TDAC will be emailed to you upon processing.
TDAC delivery: TDACs are delivered within 3 minutes of the soonest availability window for your arrival date. They are emailed to the traveler's provided email address and are always available for download from the status page.
Our TDAC service is built for a reliable, streamlined experience with helpful features:
For regular travelers with multiple trips to Thailand, the system lets you copy a previous TDAC's details to quickly start a new application. From the status page, select a completed TDAC and choose Copy details to prefill your information, then update your travel dates and any changes before submitting.
Use this compact guide to understand every required field in the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). Provide accurate information exactly as it appears on your official documents. Fields and options may vary depending on your passport country, travel mode, and selected visa type.

The TDAC system offers several advantages over the traditional paper-based TM6 form:
The TDAC system allows you to update most of your submitted information anytime before your travel. However, certain key personal identifiers cannot be changed. If you need to modify these critical details, you may need to submit a new TDAC application.
To update your information, simply log in with your email. You will see a red EDIT button which allows you to submit TDAC edits.
Edits are only allowed if it is more than 1 day before your arrival date. Same-day edits are not permitted.
If an edit is made within 72 hours of your arrival, a new TDAC will be issued. If the edit is made more than 72 hours before arrival, your pending application will be updated and automatically submitted once you are within the 72-hour window.

Most fields in the TDAC form include an information icon (i) that you can click to get additional details and guidance. This feature is particularly helpful if you are confused about what information to enter in a specific TDAC field. Simply look for the (i) icon next to field labels and click it for more context.

To access your TDAC account, click the Login button located in the top right corner of the page. You will be asked to enter the email address that you used to draft or submit your TDAC application. After entering your email, you will need to verify it through a one-time password (OTP) that will be sent to your email address.
Once your email is verified, you will be presented with several options: load an existing draft to continue working on it, copy details from a previous submission to create a new application, or view the status page of an already submitted TDAC to track its progress.

Once you verify your email and pass the login screen, you may see any draft applications associated with your verified email address. This feature allows you to load an unsubmitted draft TDAC that you can complete and submit later at your convenience.
Drafts are automatically saved while you are completing the form, ensuring that your progress is never lost. This autosave functionality makes it easy to switch to another device, take a break, or simply complete the TDAC application at your own pace without worrying about losing your information.

If you have already submitted a TDAC application in the past through the Agents system, you can take advantage of our convenient copy feature. After logging in with your verified email, you will be presented with the option to copy a previous application.
This copy function will automatically prefill the entire new TDAC form with the general details from your previous submission, allowing you to quickly create and submit a new application for your upcoming trip. You can then update any changed information such as travel dates, accommodation details, or other trip-specific information before submitting.

Jag heter Göran ,hur skriver jag mitt förnamn i formuläret för tdac ansökan?
För din TDAC använder du "o" istället för "ö" eftersom endast A-Z-tecken är tillåtna i TDAC.
Hello, I have a French passport and I plan to leave for Thailand on 2 February 2026 and return to France on 19 April 2026, so a trip of about 75 days without a visa, as I intend to apply for an additional extension at the Kalasin immigration office when I am there. Do I need to indicate a return date to France on the TDAC application form? And if so, which one?
Yes, you must indicate a date of departure from Thailand on the TDAC application, even if you plan to extend your stay after your arrival. You should simply indicate the currently planned return date, which is 19 April 2026. The TDAC is not a visa but an administrative declaration, and the departure date is provided for information purposes only, without binding effect. Applying later for an extension of stay at the immigration office, for example in Kalasin, is a normal and accepted procedure, even if the actual departure date changes. As long as you have not already obtained an extension on a visa‑exempt entry, the extension is in principle granted without difficulty. Thai immigration officers are used to this type of situation and it generally does not cause any problems.
When filling out the TDAC, I entered my patronymic (middle name) in the “patronymic” field, even though this field is not mandatory. Is this a mistake?
When filling out the TDAC, you must indicate your full name. If you have a middle name or patronymic, it should be entered, even if the field is marked as optional. This is not a mistake.
It should not be complicated.
The TDAC is very simple.
What should I indicate on my TDAC knowing that I arrive in Bangkok on 13 January, then go to Vietnam for 1 month, then return to Thailand for 34 days? Thank you.
You will need to complete two TDAC forms, one for each entry into Thailand, and you will complete them separately since you will enter Thailand multiple times.
Good afternoon. I just want to clarify about my nationality. My passport was issued in Taiwan because I was working there. If I put Taiwan, my nationality is shown as Taiwan. What should I do?
If you do not hold a Taiwan passport then you have filled out your TDAC incorrectly, and should fill out another one.
I left Thailand on 7 December for China, and my flight back to Bangkok is on 25 December. I faced a problem with filling out the arrival card: when I enter the passport number I get a false remark.
You can try the agents TDAC system, it's free as well:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyHello, the Accommodation Information cannot be filled in, it is gray. What should I do?
It was my mistake. I filled the Departure section with the wrong date. I should have put my departure date from Thailand, not from my country. Because the section is misleading. Please write this notice in the application.
This is corrected in the agents TDAC system
Hello, I registered in TDAC with the return date of 6 January. I arrive 19 December but I want to stay 20 more days; in my passport I have to return 16 February. What do I need to do to change the date in TDAC?
Since you already entered using the TDAC you do not need to update it if your travel plans change. It is only required to be correct upon entry.
I have entered the wrong arrival and departure dates from Thailand in TDAC, what should I do?
Edit your TDAC to correct it, or submit again.

Merry Christmas, have a safe trip to Thailand and an easy TDAC
If you made two TDAC cards by mistake,
The last TDAC will remain valid, and the previous one will become invalid.
Hello, I am traveling to Thailand on January 3. I am leaving from Germany and I have a stopover in Qatar. Which country should I indicate as the country of departure? Also, I do not have a return flight. Can I book a flight to Malaysia to justify my onward travel?
You must select Qatar as the country of departure for your TDAC. If you benefit from an exemption, a return or onward flight is required; a flight to Malaysia is acceptable.
Thank you for the uptime page
If the system is not working you can use:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyFor example: Family name: Arvas First name: Mehmet Ali It is written like this in the passport. How should I write it on the TDAC? Family name: ………….. ? First name: ……………… ? Middle name: ……………. ? Thank you
For your TDAC you can enter your given name as Mehmet Ali and your surname/family name as Arvas.
No surname
For no surname you use "-"
Hello 1 - I am going from Türkiye to Iran on a different plane. On the same day, without leaving the airport, I will go to Bangkok on a flight from Iran. country/territory where you boarded: Should I write Türkiye for this, or Iran? 2 - please list the name of the countries/territories where you stayed within two weeks before arrival Similarly: Should I write Türkiye or Iran? Thank you for your help
1) For your departure country, write the country you are flying from as shown on your arrival ticket. 2) For the countries where you stayed, write ALL of them, including your transit/connecting flights.
What to do if surname is blank
Then you enter "-", only a dash for the TDAC.
Hi there, I hold a Dutch passport and my partner holds a Bolivian passport. She has lived with me in the Netherlands for almost two years. Do we need to report to the Department of Disease Control? We are arriving from the Netherlands, which is not a yellow-fever country.
The yellow fever requirement is not based on passport, it is based on recent travel for the TDAC. So if you were only in the Netherlands she will NOT need a health certificate for the TDAC.
Thank you AGENTS!
We have a group with a cruise in Asia, and our clients arrive in Thailand in Koh Samui by sea cruise ship in Nathon and then go to Laem Chabang, Bangkok. What address should I mention in the application for arrival at, and for departure from, Thailand in the TDAC then? Thanks
For your TDAC, you enter the first address where they will spend the night after arrival, or the port.
Good afternoon. We arrive in Bangkok on January 3 and then we continue on a domestic flight to Chiang Mai. Should we complete the TDAC to present it in Bangkok or in Chiang Mai?
You must submit your application as Bangkok, since the TDAC is only required for entering the country.
If I go to Thailand and stay there for 3 days and register for the tdac form, and then I go to Hong Kong and want to return to Thailand again, do I have to register for the tdac again?
Yes, you must have a NEW TDAC for each entry into Thailand.
Do I have to pay for the TDAC?
TDAC is free of charge.
After registrering . When Will i get the qr code ?
If your arrival is within 72 hours, your TDAC will be issued in about 1 to 3 minutes. If your arrival is more than 72 hours away, it will be issued during the first 1 to 3 minutes after your arrival time enters the 72-hour window.
Hello, I am flying on December 5. I have just completed the form and paid 8 dollars, but I made a mistake. I filled it out again from the beginning and paid another 8 dollars, and now I have filled it out correctly. Will I have any problem because there are 2 TDACs submitted under my name? Which one will be considered?
Contact us at [email protected] at this address. Two earlier TDAC submissions are not necessary.
It would have been easy to correct the previous application, so now just write an email and they will refund the amount you paid the second time.
Also, having multiple TDACs is not a problem. They will always consider the last, most recently submitted one.If, when I arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport, the internet is not working, can I show a printed TDAC to the officer? (I want to be prepared in advance.) Thank you.
Take a screenshot or print the QR code from the TDAC.
Do I have to pay some taxes at the airport when I leave Thailand? In which currency is it possible
No, there is no fee to leave Thailand, and the TDAC has nothing to do with exiting the country. If anything, you might actually get money back. You can apply for a VAT refund at the VAT Refund counter for tourists at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Flying from Dubai to Bangkok. During the last 15 days I have been in Uruguay (residing) and in transit 9 hours in a Brazilian airport. Do I need a yellow fever vaccine?
Yes, for your TDAC you do need it, as you were in Brazil, as per: https://www.mfa.go.th/en/publicservice/5d5bcc2615e39c306000a30d?cate=5d5bcb4e15e39c30600068d3
There was a mistake in my name when I filled in the TDAC form, can it be corrected? Or do I need to submit a new TDAC?
You can submit an edit, or copy the previous application and submit a new one if you are using the AGENTS system:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyHello.. my accommodation address in Thailand has already been filled in. The field cannot be clicked, but the barcode has been issued. Do I need to fill it out again or can I use the one that has already been issued?
Accommodation information for your TDAC is required if you are staying more than 1 day in Thailand.
I tried to submit but I see a system error on the .gov TDAC url.
It appears the TDAC page is down on the .go.th domain, hopefully it will be back soon.
In the meantime you still can submit for FREE here:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-apply
Your TDAC will be immediately processed once the system is back.We are Italian citizens resident in Montevideo, Uruguay. We are flying from Uruguay to Dubai, UAE, with a flight change in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 9 hours in transit. After 4 days we fly to Bangkok. Do we need a yellow fever vaccine because we are going to be in transit in a Brazilian airport?
If your last flight is from Brazil to Thailand then you use Brazil for your TDAC (look at the flight number).
What do I fill in for the question; Country/Territory where you Boarded, if I start in Sweden (GOT) and transit in Finland (HEL) where the flight takes us to the final destination Thailand (HKT)?
If you have a flight ticket for a flight number that says HEL -> HKT then you would use HEL for your TDAC departure country.
The form does not recognize the return date and says it is a required field and that I should enter something. I select 09 for the day and it stays red.
You can use the AGENTS TDAC if you need to submit something at any time.
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI completed the TDAC, I received the email with the QR code in my name, but in the attachment there is another person, why?
This is an error that can occasionally occur with the government TDAC system.
If you used the AGENTS system, you should always receive the correct TDAC PDF that matches your data.
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyOk but do I have to go back and redo the TDAC
I have applied for TDAC, it's been 2 hours and I still have not received any email from you, can you please help me
When is your arrival date for your TDAC?
Due to the floods in Vietnam I am planning to stay in Thailand. However, on my TDAC it says that I am leaving Thailand on a certain date, which is not the case. The flight number will also no longer be correct. Just leave it like that?
If you are already in Thailand, you do not need to update your TDAC number after you arrive. The TDAC number only needs to be correct at the time of your arrival.
My return flight is after 69 days. Are there any problems with getting the TDAC and can I apply for an extension once I arrive?
Staying 69 days has nothing to do with the TDAC. The TDAC will be automatically approved. Your issue will be referred to the immigration office and, if you are stopped, you may have to explain your intentions to them.
I have a double surname with a hyphen, for example Müller-Meier. However, the hyphen cannot be entered in the form. What should I do?
For the TDAC: If your name contains a "ü", please use a "u" instead.
We fly from Madrid/Spain via Amman/Jordan with a connecting flight, no stopover, to BKK. Which boarding country should we select for the TDAC?
If the flight number you found doesn’t show Thailand as the destination, then it’s not the correct one. Please select the actual flight ??? -> BKK that you’ll be arriving on when you enter Thailand.
After applying, I decided to cancel my trip. Do I need to cancel my application?
If you do not enter the country with the TDAC you obtained, the TDAC will automatically become invalid, and you can submit a new application if necessary.
I have a question: when I come to Thailand, Bangkok, I need a TDAC. And I will fly to Chiang Mai that day. If I fly the next day with my Thai partner to Bangkok from Chiang Mai, do I need a new TDAC again?
No, the TDAC is only required when entering Thailand. It is not needed for domestic travel, and the TDAC does not need to be updated once you have already entered with it.
I am flying from Hanover to Switzerland and then on to Phuket. Which place do I have to enter on the TDAC?
You would indicate Switzerland as the country of departure for your TDAC.
We are flying from Hanover to Switzerland and then on to Phuket. Which place do I have to enter on the TDAC?
You would indicate Switzerland as the country of departure for your TDAC.
When I fill in the countries I have visited before departing for Thailand, I keep getting a red cross, even when using the drop-down menu. This way I cannot complete the travel track. What can I do?
Are you using the AGENTS TDAC or the .go.th TDAC?
Why do I need a new TDAC again when I am flying domestically?
You do not need a TDAC for domestic travel. A TDAC is only required each time you enter Thailand.
I applied for TDAC but received an email saying to edit because of incomplete information. After editing and resubmitting I was charged again, so I will cancel. Please refund the fee I paid the first time as well.
If you used the AGENTS system for TDAC, please contact [email protected].I have wrong registered for 2 times, how can I withdraw one application, thank you
Only the last TDAC application will matter, there is no need to withdraw, or cancel a TDAC.
do I need a booking confirmation (first night) of the hotel? (backpacker)
If you are a backpacker it is best to have all your documents in order. Please make sure to have proof of accommodation for your TDAC.
