All non-Thai nationals entering Thailand are now required to use the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), which has completely replaced the traditional paper TM6 immigration form.
Last Updated: November 17th, 2025 2:41 AM
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.

This is an image of the Agents TDAC system, and not the official TDAC immigration system. If you do not submit through the Agents TDAC system you will not see a form like this.
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.

jeg bestilte 50 GB e sim for meg og min kone, hvordan aktiverer vi det ?
Du må være koblet til WiFi, og i Thailand. Alt du trenger å gjøre er å skanne QR-koden.

I can not choose arrival day! I arrive 25/11/29 but can only choose 13-14-15-16 in that month.
You can select Nov 29th on https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyHei. Jeg drar til Thailand 12 desember,men får ikke fylt ut DTAC kortet. Mvh Frank
Du kan sende inn din TDAC tidlig her:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI am traveling from Norway to Thailand to Laos to Thailand. One or two TDAC's?
Correct you will need a TDAC for ALL entries into Thailand.
This can be done in a single submission by using the AGENTS system, and adding yourself as two travelers with two different arrival dates.
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyЯ указала что карта групповая но при подаче перешла на предварительный просмотр и получилось что нужно было уже получать карту . Получилась как индивидуальная, т.к. я не добавила путешественников . Это подойдет или нужно переделать ?
Вам нужен QR-код TDAC для КАЖДОГО путешественника. Неважно, в одном документе он находится или в нескольких, но у каждого путешественника должен быть QR-код TDAC.
So gut
How can I apply early for my TDAC, I have long connecting flights, and will not have great internet.
You can submit early for your TDAC through the AGENTS system:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI am going to TAPHAN HIN. THE FORM ASKS FOR THE SUBDISTRICT THERE. WHAT IS ITS NAME?
For the TDAC Place / Tambon: Taphan Hin District / Amphoe: Taphan Hin Province / Changwat: Phichit
My surname in my passport contains 'ü'. How can I enter it? The name should be entered as it appears in the passport. Can you please help me with that?
Simply write "u" instead of "ü" for your TDAC, as it only allows letters A to Z.
I am now in Thailand and I have my TDAC. I changed my return flight; does my TDAC remain valid?
If you have already entered Thailand and your return flight has been changed, you do NOT need to submit a new TDAC form. This form is only required for entry into the territory and does not need to be updated once you have entered.
I will go to Thailand but when filling out the form Is a return ticket mandatory or can I buy it after I arrive? The stay may be extended; I don't want to purchase it early.
A return ticket is also required for TDAC, just like for visa applications. If you will enter Thailand with a tourist visa or visa-free, you must show a return or onward flight ticket. This is an immigration rule and this information must be provided on the TDAC form. However, if you have a long-term visa, a return ticket is not mandatory.
Do i have to update the TDAC when i am in Thailand and move to other city and hotel? Is it possible to update the TDAC when i am in Thailand?
You do not need to update the TDAC when you are in Thailand. It is only used for entry clearance, and not possible to change after the arrival date.
Thank you!
Hello, I will fly from Europe to Thailand and back at the end of my 3 week holiday. Two days after arriving in Bangkok I fly from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur and be back in Bangkok in a week. Which dates do I need to fill in on the TDAC before I leave Europe; the end of my 3 week holiday (and fill in a separate TDAC when I go to Kuala Lumpur and arrive back after a week)? Or Do I fill in a TDAC for staying in Thailand for two days and fill in a new TDAC when I arrive back in Bangkok for the rest of my holiday, until I fly back to Europe? I hope I am clear
You can complete both of your TDAC applications in advance through our system here. Just select “two travelers” and enter each person’s arrival date separately.
Both applications can be submitted together, and once they fall within three days of your arrival dates, you’ll receive your TDAC confirmation by email for each entry.
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyHello, I am departing for Thailand on 5 November 2025 but I made a mistake in the name placement on the TDAC. The barcode has been sent to my email but I cannot edit the name 🙏 What should I do to ensure the data on the TDAC matches the passport? Thank you
The name must be in the correct order (an incorrect order may be accepted, since some countries list given name first and family name first). However, if your name is misspelled, you need to submit a correction or resubmit.
You can make changes using the AGENTS system here if you have used it before:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI wrote the airport incorrectly and submitted it early. Do I need to fill out and submit the form again?
You should correct your TDAC. If you used the AGENTS system, you can log in with the email address you provided and click the red EDIT button to modify your TDAC.
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyHi, I will go from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur in the early morning and come back to Bangkok the same day in late afternoon. can I do the TDAC before leave Thailand , so in the early morning from Bangkok, or I have to to this before start from Kuala Lumpur obligatory?Thank You for a kindly answer
You can do the TDAC while you are already in Thailand this is not an issue.
We will be in Thailand for 2 months. We will go to Laos for a few days; upon returning to Thailand, can we complete the TDAC at the border without a smartphone?
No, you will need to submit the TDAC online; they do not have kiosks like airports do.
You can submit it in advance via:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI completed registration for the Thai Digital Arrival Card and received a reply email, but the QR code was removed. At immigration, is it sufficient to present the registration data listed below the QR code?
A screenshot of the TDAC number, or the confirmation email, will be fine to present.
If you applied using our system, you can also log in here to download it again:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI only have a one-way ticket (from Italy to Thailand) and I don't know the return date — how can I fill in the TDAC under the "departure from Thailand" field?
The return section is optional only if you are traveling with a long-term visa. If instead you enter without a visa (visa exemption), you must have a return flight otherwise you risk being refused entry. This is not only a TDAC requirement, but a general entry rule for travelers without a visa. Also remember to have 20,000 THB in cash upon arrival.
Hi! I have completed the TDAC and submitted it last week. But I have not received any response from TDAC. What should I do? I am traveling to Thailand this Wednesday. My personal ID number 19581006-3536. Best regards, Björn Hantoft
We do not understand which personal identity number that is. Please check that you have not used a fake website. Make sure the TDAC domain ends in .co.th, or .go.th
If I have a one-day stopover in Dubai, do I need to declare it on the TDAC?
You would choose Dubai for your TDAC if the last inbound flight is from Dubai to Thailand.
I have a one-day stopover in Dubai; do I need to declare it on the TDAC?
You would therefore use Dubai as the country of departure. It is the last country before arriving in Thailand.
Our ferry to Koh Lipe from Langkawi was changed due to weather. Do I need a new TDAC?
You can submit an edit to update your existing TDAC, or if you are using the AGENTS system you can clone your previous submission.
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI am flying from Germany (Berlin) via Turkey (Istanbul) to Phuket. Do I need to enter Turkey or Germany in TDAC?
For your TDAC your arrival flight is the last flight, so in your case it would be Türkiye
Why am I not allowed to enter an address for my stay in Thailand?
For TDAC you enter the province, and it should appear. If you have problems, you can try the TDAC agent form:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyHi I cannot fill in residence - it will not accept anything.
For TDAC you enter the province, and it should appear. If you have problems, you can try the TDAC agent form:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI entered the given name Günter (as it is in the German passport) as Guenter, because the letter ü cannot be captured. Is that wrong and must I now enter the given name Günter as Gunter? Do I now have to apply for a new TDAC because the given name cannot be changed?
You should write Gunter instead of Günter, because the TDAC only allows A-Z.
Can I really rely on that? I don't want to have to re-enter the TDAC at a so-called kiosk at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.
Departing from Helsinki and stopping in Doha, so what shall I write in TDAC when entering Bangkok?
You put Qatar as it matches your arrival flight for your TDAC.
If the family name is Müller, how do I enter it in TDAC? Is entering MUELLER correct?
In TDAC you simply use "u" instead of "ü".
I will enter Thailand by air and plan to leave by land. If I later change my mind and want to leave by air, will there be any problem?
No problem, TDAC is only checked on arrival. It is not checked on departure.
How do I enter the given name Günter in TDAC? Is entering GUENTER correct?
In TDAC you simply use "u" instead of "ü".
I am entering Thailand with a one-way ticket! I cannot provide a return flight yet.
Do not travel to Thailand with a one-way ticket unless you hold a long-term visa. This is not a TDAC rule but an exception to the visa requirement.
I have completed the form and submitted it, but I did not receive an email. I cannot register again either. What can I do?
You can try the AGENTS TDAC system at:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI will arrive in Bangkok on 2/12 before leaving for Laos on 3/12 and returning to Thailand on 12/12 by train. Do I need to make 2 applications? Thank you
A TDAC is required for each entry into Thailand.
What if Greece is not listed among the countries?
TDAC does include Greece. What do you mean?
I can't find Greece, either
How long is visa-free entry to Thailand at present—still 60 days, or back to 30 as it was before?
It is 60 days and that has nothing to do with TDAC.
If I do not have a last name/family name when filling in TDAC, how should I fill in the last name/family name field?
For TDAC, if you do not have a family/last name, you must still fill in the last name field. Simply put a hyphen "-" in that field.
I am traveling with my son to Thailand on 6/11/25 for competitions at the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship. When should I submit the application and do I need to make two separate applications or can I include both of us in one application? If I submit it from today, is there any fee?
You can apply now and add as many travelers as you need through the agents' TDAC system:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-apply
Each traveler receives their own TDAC.I don't have a return flight planned; I intend to stay either one month or two (in which case I will apply for a visa extension). Is return flight information mandatory? (Because I don't have a date or flight number). What should I fill in then? Thank you
A round-trip flight is required to enter Thailand under the visa exemption program and VOA. You can omit this flight from your TDAC, but you will still be denied entry because you do not meet the entry requirements.
I need to stay a few days in Bangkok and then a few days in Chiang Mai. Do I need to submit a second TDAC for this domestic flight? Thank you
You only need to complete the TDAC for each entry into Thailand. Domestic flights are not required.
I will travel home from Thailand on 6/12 at 00:05 but wrote that I travel home on 5/12. Do I need to submit a new TDAC?
You must edit your TDAC so that your dates match.
If you used the agents system you can easily do this, and it will reissue your TDAC:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyIf we are pensioners, do we also need to enter a profession?
Use the profession "RETIRED" for the TDAC if you are retired.
Hello I will travel to Thailand in December Can I apply for the TDAC now? Which link is the valid application? When will the approval arrive? Is there a possibility that it may not arrive?
You can apply for your TDAC immediately using the link below:

You can put UNENMPLOYED for your employment for the TDAC if you do not have a job.
I am returning to Thailand where I hold a non-o retirement visa with a re-entry stamp. Do I need this
Yes you still need the TDAC even if you have a non-o visa. The only exception is if you were entering Thailand with a Thai passport.
