Who Must Submit a TDAC
All foreigners entering Thailand are required to submit the Thailand Digital Arrival Card before their arrival, with the following exceptions:
- Foreigners transiting or transferring in Thailand without going through immigration control
- Foreigners entering Thailand using a Border Pass
When to Submit Your TDAC
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.
How Does the TDAC System Work?
The TDAC system streamlines the entry process by digitizing information collection previously done on paper. The system offers two submission options:
- Individual submission (single traveler)
- Group submission (after completing the first page, you can add more travelers to the same submission; up to 100 travelers).
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.
Why use the Agents TDAC System
Our TDAC service is built for a reliable, streamlined experience with helpful features:
- Multiple languages
- Form resumability (save and continue later)
- Unlimited travelers in one submission
- Automatic submission attempts until successful
- Reliable document delivery by email
- Always-available download from the status page
Multiple Entries into Thailand
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.

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.

I am returning to Thailand from Lao ffor one day before I travel home to the US how do I update my digital arrival card?
You do not need to update your TDAC once it's already been used.
If you're re-entering Thailand, you need to submit another TDAC.
Yeah, that’s what I found too. Had to fill out a new TDAC for my quick return trip, it’s pretty straightforward each time. Just a bit annoying if you’re hopping in and out quickly.
What is this new THIM thing? Can i still use the TDAC?
Yes, you can still use the TDAC. You can read more about the THIM here: https://thim.in.th
В имени допущена ошибка вместо Татьяна, написано ТТАТЬЯНА
If you used AGENTS you can login and edit your TDAC, otherwise resubmit.
Untuk mode transportasi, saya pilih apa penerbangan "penerbangan komersial, penerbangan swasta/kargo, lainnya" dari Indonesia ke Thailand?
What should I fill in for the question; Country/Region where you boarded the plane, if I start in INDONESIA (CGK) and transit in MALAYSIA (KUL) but do not go through immigration, where the flight takes us to the final destination Thailand (HKT)? for different flight numbers between CGK-KUL and KUL-HKT
For your TDAC its whatever it says on the arrival ticket. So if the flight number that arrives in HKT is KUL-HKT you put that one.
Thank you
No problem
-Soy Ciudadano Boliviano , me encuentro en China, como inicio mi tramite de visa para ingreso a Tailandia para turismo una semana de estadia ?
The TDAC is not a visa, you can just apply for the TDAC at https://agents.co.th/tdac-apply/
I am coming to bangkok from morocco with correspondance in Istambul. Wich Departure Country. Country/Territory where you Boarded and flight number shoul I mention in the TDAC
For the TDAC you use the final flight country you are arriving from. Not the first country to depart from.
I just filled up the TDAC online but arriving in Thailand is only for my connecting flight.I did not know early that it does not require TDAC if it's only for connecting flight.What will I do?
If you pass immigration then you need a TDAC. If not then it's ok, the TDAC will be automatically cancelled if you do not enter with it.
Hello, my expats' family arrived in Thailand, he applied TDAC for his family, but he used own name instead of his child (So now there're 2 Mr. X with different passport number on the TDAC) They're already arrived in Thailand, is there a way to fix the information?
If they already arrived in Thailand it does not matter. There is no way to edit a TDAC which was already used to enter.
Hi, I am coming in Thailand with my family, 4 adults. Can we complete group form? Our flight is forom Cluj-Istambul-Bangkok-Phuket What do we write on the form? We land in 04.04.2026 when we should complete the form?
Yes you can use the agents form of group sizes up to 100: https://agents.co.th/tdac-apply
Hi, I am arriving on Sunday, 29 in the afternoon and will travel on Monday morning to Bhutan. So it's only transit. The website does not accept arrival on 29/3/2026 and departure on 30/3/2026. I have entered departure for 29/3 to achieve acceptance of my data. Is this ok?
Sometimes the form has errors, you should try the agents TDAC form if you have edge cases like this: https://agents.co.th/tdac-apply/ This should auto select "I am a transit passenger, I don't stay in Thailand." It's free as well.
I am arriving in Thailand on Sunday and I am filling in my TDAC… I was in Athens, Greece last weekend but when I am on the health section it does not allow me to select Greece from the drop down menu. What should I do?
For official TDAC Greece its "HELLENIC REPUBLIC (GRC)", you can do this through the agents form and it is much easier to find: <a href="https://agents.co.th/tdac-apply/" rel="nofollow noopener">https://agents.co.th/tdac-apply/</a>
Hi there, What should input as I have an hyphenated first name? Thank you.

Buongiorno, mia figlia si trova in Thailandia dal 2 febbraio. Doveva partire da Bangkok il 5 marzo ma il volo è stato annullato e rimborsato. Non trova voli di ritorno in Italia prima di aprile. Cosa deve fare x chiedere il prolungamento del TDAC?
Dovrebbe richiedere un nuovo TDAC.
Hallo, wir reisen von Berlin nach Paris dann nach Bangkok und weiter nach Koh Samui. Was genau muss ich als Abflugort eingeben? Berlin oder Paris? Und bei der Ankunft Bangkok oder Koh Samui? Vielen Dank.
Sie haben den tatsächlichen Flug nach Thailand gewählt, daher wäre für Ihren TDAC Paris, Frankreich, der Zielflughafen.
