Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) Requirements

Just put the numeric part for the TDAC if it does not allow you to.

Exempt

found it, thanks. :)

The official TDAC form has a bug right now where if you select a city with a "-" in it then it will cause an issue.

You can get around this by deleting the dash, and replacing it with a space.

In your situation, your second flight likely has a different flight number. Because of this, you will need to select China and the corresponding flight number for your TDAC as the country of departure.

For the TDAC, if you are Thai but entering the country using a UK passport, you will need to fill out the TDAC for the same reason that you will receive a visa stamp.

Just select the UK as the country in your passport.

If it's a separate ticket then you should be using the flight last ticket / leg of the journey for your TDAC arrival flight.

Yes, you need to submit a TDAC application for each entry into Thailand.

The earliest you can do this via the official government website (https://tdac.immigration.go.th/) is 3 days before your arrival.

However, it is also possible to do it on the day of your flight, or even upon your arrival in Thailand, although this may cause delays if you do not have internet access or if the kiosks at the airport are overwhelmed.

It is therefore recommended to do it in advance, as soon as the 72-hour window opens.

You do not need to update your TDAC as you have already entered Thailand.

Please contact [email protected]

Yes, if the hotel address has repeated names of areas or sub-areas, it is not a problem. As long as the complete address and postal code are correct and consistent with the actual location of the hotel, it will not cause any issues with the TDAC application.

The TDAC can be submitted directly for free within 72 hours of arrival.

Alternatively, you can start the application in advance through a trusted agency for a nominal fee ($8). It will then be automatically submitted and issued when it is 72 hours before arrival.

For your TDAC, you will use your Pattaya address, as it is the first place you will stay.

At the moment the TDAC is not required when leaving Thailand.

But it is being asked for if you apply for certain visa types, so it makes sense to save your TDAC email / pdf.

If you do not have a family name or surname, for filling out the TDAC form, you can simply enter a dash like this: "-" in the family name field.

This is acceptable and can be processed in the TDAC system without issue.

For the information regarding the departure date from Thailand in the TDAC form, it is not necessary to fill out if the student has accommodation in Thailand and will stay for more than one day.

The departure date information is only required if the student does not have accommodation information in Thailand, such as if it is a transit flight or if they are only staying for one day.

Therefore, if the student does not have plans to book a return ticket at the end of the internship, they can leave the departure date field blank without any issues.

If you lose your TDAC information, you can try contacting [email protected]. However, from what we see, there are many cases where the email bounced back, so it is recommended to keep your TDAC registration information safe and not delete the confirmation email.

If you used an agency service, there is a high chance that the agency still has the information and can send it to you again. It is recommended to try contacting the agency you used.

I did not receive a confirmation email before entering Thailand, but the foreigner has already passed through Thai immigration. To extend the visa, a confirmation letter is necessary. I sent the details via email to [email protected]. Please help check it.

You don’t need to cancel your TDAC application. Your family members should still be able to enter Thailand without any problems, even though the applications were submitted together.

If there’s any issue at the airport, they can fill out a new TDAC there. Another option is to resubmit a new TDAC for them just to be safe.

It worked for me; it's "PATHUM WAN" and "LUMPHINI" for the TDAC form for your address.

You can submit the TDAC form on the same day as your flight, or use the agent's form to submit it in advance: https://tdac.agents.co.th

If you were charged $18, it’s likely because you selected both the early submission service ($8) and a $10 eSIM during checkout.

Please note that eSIMs are not free, and submitting the TDAC more than 72 hours in advance requires assistance. That’s why agents charge a small service fee for early processing.

If you submit within the 72-hour window, it's 100% free.

It is fine to resubmit your TDAC multiple times; they will pay attention to your latest submission.

There is no limit if you use an agency like "tdac.agents", but through the official site, they limit you to 72 hours.

Yes please be careful with iVisa, there is an overview here: https://tdac.in.th/scam

For the TDAC if your arrival date is within 72 hours it should be 100% free.

If you use an agency to apply early it should NOT be more than $8.

If you have a separate ticket for the flight from Guangzhou to Thailand, you must select “CHN” (China) as the country of departure when filling out the TDAC.

However, if you have a continuous ticket from the Netherlands to Thailand (with only a layover in Guangzhou, without leaving the airport), you should select “NLD” (Netherlands) as the country of departure on your TDAC.

If you are stepping off the plane then yes you will need the TDAC, even if you are not leaving the airport.

If you cannot proceed with entering your address or accommodation in Thailand, please try the link below. Please share it with your friends:

Yes, if you are staying at a friend's house in Thailand, then when filling out the Thailand Arrival Card (TDAC), you should fill in your friend's address in Thailand. This is to inform the immigration authorities of your accommodation in Thailand.

If you register through the official government website, unfortunately, the passport number cannot be changed after submission.

However, if you use the service at tdac.agents.co.th, all details, including the passport number, can be edited at any time before submission.

So what is the solution? Should I create a new one?

Yes, if you used the official TDAC domain, then you need to submit a new TDAC to change your passport number, name, and a few other fields.

No, please do not submit false information on the TDAC.

If you want to submit it early, you can use services like tdac.agents.co.th, but please do not submit false information there either.

If you are traveling with a Thai passport, you do not need a TDAC.

If you used the agents system for your TDAC then yes you can, otherwise no you would have to submit your TDAC again.

If you arrive in Thailand with a Thai passport, you do not need to do a TDAC.

Thank you. I apologize, I would like to correct my question.

For the TDAC form, you should enter Ethiopia as the transit country, as you will have a layover there before arriving in Thailand.

For TDAC, if you have letters in your name that are not A-Z, replace them with the nearest letter, so for you just "o".

you mean o instead of ö

yes "o"

Enter the name exactly as it appears on the ID page of the passport at the bottom in uppercase letters in the first line of the machine-readable code.

For her TDAC, she will fill in her date of birth, and if she has any issues, she may need to resolve them upon arrival. Has she used this document to go to Thailand before?

She is coming to Thailand for the first time. We are preparing to enter BKK on 09/06/2025.

She is traveling to Thailand for the first time. We will arrive at BKK on 09/06/2025.

Yes, currently regardless of the type of visa held or if you have a work permit, if you are a foreign national entering Thailand, you must fill out the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) every time you enter the country, including in cases of going on a business trip and returning within a few days. Because TDAC has replaced the old form TM.6 entirely.

It is recommended to fill it out online in advance before traveling to the country, as it will help facilitate passing through immigration.

TDAC is a requirement for all foreign nationals entering Thailand, but if you are traveling by warship, it may be considered a special case. It is recommended to contact your commanding officer or relevant officials, as military travel may be exempt or have different procedures.

It is only an issue if you did not complete a TDAC, and entered Thailand after May 1st.

Otherwise its completely fine not to have a TDAC if you entered before May 1st as it did not exist at that time.

On the agent TDAC form you can click back, and check if you added an eSIM, and uncheck that if you do not need one, then it should be free.

I suggest you join the Facebook community, and ask there. Your question is not TDAC related.

The TDAC portal for agents now correctly supports the spelling of the district VADHANA as an alternative format of WATTANA.

https://tdac.agents.co.th

We understand that this can be confusing, but the system now clearly supports it.

For filling out the TDAC, only specify the first province you will travel to. Other provinces do not need to be filled in.

If you submitted your TDAC on "tdac.immigration.go.th", then: [email protected]

And if you submitted your TDAC on "tdac.agents.co.th", then: [email protected]

For TDAC, you do not need to print it out.

However, many people choose to print their own TDAC.

You just need to show the QR code screenshot or PDF.

The main TDAC system seems to have an error.

If you remember the issued TDAC number, you can try to edit your TDAC.

If not, try this: https://tdac.agents.co.th (very reliable)

Or reapply through tdac.immigration.go.th and remember your TDAC ID. If you do not receive an email, please edit the TDAC again until you receive it.

TDAC has no relation to extending your stay. If you enter before May 1, you do not need a TDAC at this time. TDAC is required for entry into Thailand for non-Thai nationals only.

For the TDAC, you can choose a return flight 90 days before arrival if you are entering with a 60-day visa exemption and plan to apply for a 30-day extension of your stay.
