Starting May 1st, 2025, all non-Thai nationals entering Thailand will be required to use the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), which will completely replace the traditional paper TM6 immigration form.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) Requirements
Last Updated: April 30th, 2025 6:27 PM
Thailand is introducing the new Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) to replace the paper TM6 immigration form for all foreign nationals entering Thailand by air, land, or sea.
The TDAC aims to streamline entry procedures and enhance the overall travel experience for visitors to Thailand.
Here's a comprehensive guide to the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) system.
TDAC Fee / Cost
FREE
When to Submit
Within 3 Days Before Arrival
THE TDAC IS FREE OF CHARGE, PLEASE BE AWARE OF SCAMS
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is an online form developed to replace the paper-based TM6 arrival card. It is designed to provide 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.
Official Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) Introduction Video - Learn how the new digital system works and what information you need to prepare before your trip to Thailand.
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.
How Does the TDAC System Work?
The TDAC system streamlines the entry process by digitizing the information collection that was previously done using paper forms. To submit the Digital Arrival Card, foreigners can access the Immigration Bureau website at http://tdac.immigration.go.th. The system offers two submission options:
Individual submission - For solo travelers
Group submission - For families or groups traveling together
Submitted information can be updated anytime before travel, giving travelers flexibility to make changes as needed.
TDAC Application Process
The application process for the TDAC is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly. Here are the basic steps to follow:
Visit the official TDAC website at http://tdac.immigration.go.th
Choose between individual or group submission
Complete the required information in all sections:
Improve personal data entry by scanning the MRZ or uploading a passport MRZ image to automatically extract information, eliminating the need for manual input.
Improved the Departure Information section: When editing the Mode of Travel, a Clear button has been added to allow users to cancel their selection.
Improved the Country of Residence search functionality to support searching for "THA".
Improved the display of Country of Residence, Country where you Boarded, and Countries where you stayed within two weeks before arrival by changing the country name format to COUNTRY_CODE and COUNTRY_NAME_EN (e.g., USA : THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA).
For Update the Arrival Card:
Improved the Accommodation section: When editing or clicking the Reverse icon on Province / District, Area / Sub-District, Sub-Area / Post Code, all related fields will expand. However, if editing Post Code, only that field will expand.
Improved the Departure Information section: When editing Mode of Travel, a Clear button has been added to allow users to cancel their selection (as this field is optional).
Improved the Country of Residence search functionality to support searching for "THA".
Improved the display of Country of Residence, Country where you Boarded, and Countries where you stayed within two weeks before arrival by changing the country name format to COUNTRY_CODE and COUNTRY_NAME_EN (e.g., USA : THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA).
Added a section for entering outbound travel information.
Updated the Health Declaration section: Uploading a certificate is now optional.
The Post Code field will now automatically display the default code based on the province and district entered.
The Slide Navigation has been improved to show only the sections where all information has been successfully completed.
Added a 'Delete This Traveler' button to remove individual traveler information.
The List for the [Same as Previous Traveler] option now only shows the entry date into Thailand and the traveler's name.
The [Next] button has been renamed to [Preview], and the [Add] button has been renamed to [Add Other Travelers]. The [Add Other Travelers] button will not appear once the maximum number of travelers supported by the system is reached.
The Email Address field has been removed from Personal Information.
The system has been updated for additional protection in line with OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) standards.
The Stepper navigation has been improved: the [Previous] button will no longer appear in the Personal Information step, and the [Continue] button will not appear in the Health Declaration step.
For Update the Arrival Card:
Added a section for entering outbound travel information.
Updated the Health Declaration section: Uploading a certificate is now optional.
The Post Code field will now automatically display the default code based on the province and district entered.
The Email Address field has been removed from Personal Information.
The system has been updated for additional protection in line with OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) standards.
Revise the Personal Information page so that the Previous button is not displayed.
Official Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) Introduction Video - This official video was released by Thailand Immigration Bureau to demonstrate how the new digital system works and what information you need to prepare before your trip to Thailand.
Note that all details must be entered in English. For dropdown fields, you can type three characters of the desired information, and the system will automatically display relevant options for selection.
Required Information for TDAC Submission
To complete your TDAC application, you will need to prepare the following information:
1. Passport Information
Family name (surname)
First name (given name)
Middle name (if applicable)
Passport number
Nationality/Citizenship
2. Personal Information
Date of birth
Occupation
Gender
Visa number (if applicable)
Country of residence
Long-term or permanent foreign residents in Thailand are advised to select 'Thailand' under 'Country of Residence', which will be available once the system is activated.
Please note that the Thailand Digital Arrival Card is not a visa. You must still ensure you have the appropriate visa or qualify for visa exemption to enter Thailand.
Benefits of the TDAC System
The TDAC system offers several advantages over the traditional paper-based TM6 form:
Faster immigration processing upon arrival
Reduced paperwork and administrative burden
Ability to update information before travel
Enhanced data accuracy and security
Improved tracking capabilities for public health purposes
More sustainable and environmentally friendly approach
Integration with other systems for a smoother travel experience
TDAC Limitations and Restrictions
While the TDAC system offers many benefits, there are some limitations to be aware of:
Once submitted, certain key information cannot be updated, including:
Full Name (as it appears in passport)
Passport Number
Nationality/Citizenship
Date of Birth
All information must be entered in English only
Internet access is required to complete the form
The system may experience high traffic during peak travel seasons
Health Declaration Requirements
As part of the TDAC, travelers must complete a health declaration that includes: This includes Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate for travelers from affected countries.
List of countries visited within two weeks before arrival
Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate status (if required)
Declaration of any symptoms experienced in the past two weeks, including:
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Fever
Rash
Headache
Sore throat
Jaundice
Cough or shortness of breath
Enlarged lymph glands or tender lumps
Other (with specification)
Important: If you declare any symptoms, you may be required to proceed to the Department of Disease Control counter before entering the immigration checkpoint.
Yellow Fever Vaccination Requirements
The Ministry of Public Health has issued regulations that applicants who have travelled from or through countries declared as Yellow Fever Infected Areas must provide an International Health Certificate proving they have received a Yellow Fever vaccination.
The International Health Certificate must be submitted together with the visa application form. The traveller will also have to present the certificate to the Immigration Officer upon arrival at the port of entry in Thailand.
Nationals of the countries listed below who have not travelled from/through those countries do not require this certificate. However, they should possess concrete evidence showing that their domicile is not in an infected area to prevent unnecessary inconvenience.
The TDAC system allows you to update most of your submitted information anytime before your travel. However, as mentioned earlier, 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 revisit the TDAC website and log in using your reference number and other identifying information.

For older visitors without inline skills, will a paper version be available?
March 29th, 2025
From what we understand it must done online, maybe you can have someone you know submit for you, or use an agent.
Assuming you were able to book a flight without any online skills the same company could help you with the TDAC.
March 29th, 2025
Will the airlines require this document at check-in or will it be only required at the immigration station at Thailand airport? Can it be completed before approaching immigration?
March 29th, 2025
At the moment this part is unclear, but it would make sense for airlines to require this when checking in, or boarding.
S
March 29th, 2025
Seems to be a huge step back from the TM6 this will confuse many travelers to Thailand. What will happen if they do not have this great new innovation on arrival?
March 29th, 2025
It looks like airlines may also require it, similar to how they were required to hand them out, but they just require it on check-in or boarding.
Robin smith
March 29th, 2025

Always hated filling out those cards by hand
Polly
March 29th, 2025
For a person holding a student visa, does he / she need to complete the ETA before returning to Thailand for term break, holiday etc? Thanks
March 29th, 2025
Yes you would need to do this if your arrival date is on, or after May 1st.
This is the replacement of the TM6.
Shawn
March 30th, 2025
Do ABTC card holders need to complete the TDAC
March 30th, 2025
Yes, you would still need to complete the TDAC.
Same as when the TM6 was required.

Only pro-COVID scam countries still adhere to this UN fraud. It is not for your safety, only for control. It is written in Agenda 2030. One of the few countries that would "play" a "pandemic" all over again just to please their agenda and secure funds to harm people.
March 30th, 2025
Thailand has had the TM6 in place for over 45 years, and the Yellow Fever Vaccine is only for specific countries, and has nothing to do with COVID.

Having added the arrival date prior to the airport of departure, while at the airport if the flight is delayed and does not meet the given date for the TDAC, what happens upon arriving at the airport in Thailand?
March 30th, 2025
You can edit your TDAC, and the edit will be instantly updated.
Mairi Fiona Sinclair
March 30th, 2025
Where is the form?
March 30th, 2025
As mentioned on the page: https://tdac.immigration.go.th
But the earliest you should be submitting is April 28th as the TDAC starts to become a requirement on May 1st.
March 30th, 2025
So, how to obtain the link more easily
March 31st, 2025
It is not required unless your arrival is May 1st or after
Jason Tong

Won't be long, no more forgetting to wake up when they pass out TM6 cards.

I'm from Australia unsure how the Health Declaration works If I pick Australia from the drop down box will it skip the Yellow Fever section providing I haven't been to those countries listed
March 31st, 2025
Yes you do NOT need Yellow Fever Vaccination if you have not been in the listed countries.
John Mc Pherson
March 31st, 2025
Sawadee Krap, Just found out the requirements for the Arrival Card. I'm a 76 year old male and cannot provide a departure date as requested plus for my Flight. The reason being, I have to get a Tourist Visa for my Thai Fiancée which lives in Thailand, and do not know how long a time procedure, so therefore I cannot provide any dates until all is past and accepted. Please consider my Dilemma. Yours Sincerely. John Mc Pherson. Australia.
March 31st, 2025
You can apply up to 3 days before your arrival date at MOST.
Also you can update the data if things change.
The application, and updates are approved instantly.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY QUERY (It does stipulate in Required Information for TDAC Submission) 3. Travel Information says = Date of departure (if known) Departure mode of travel (if known) is that sufficient for me?
Rob
March 31st, 2025
I never completed the TM6, so not sure how closely the information sought compares with that on the TM6, so apologies if this is a stupid question. My flight leaves the UK on 31 May and I have a connection to Bangkok, departing on 1 June. In the travel details section of the TDAC, would my boarding point be the first leg from the UK, or the connection from Dubai?
March 31st, 2025
Departure information is actually optional if you look at the screenshots they do not have the red asterisks next to them.
The most important thing is the arrival date.
Luke UK
March 31st, 2025
As a Thailand privilege member, I am granted a one-year stamp upon entry (extendable at immigration). How can I provide a departure flight? I agree with this requirement for the visa exemption and visa on arrival tourists. However, for long-term visa holders, departure flights should not be a mandatory requirement in my opinion.
March 31st, 2025
Departure information is optional as noted by the lack of red asterisks
Luke UK
March 31st, 2025
I overlooked this, thank you for the clarification.
March 31st, 2025
No problem, have a safe trip!
March 31st, 2025
I hold a O Retirement Visa and live in Thailand. Will be returning to Thailand after a short vacation, do I still need to fill out this TDAC? Thank you.
March 31st, 2025
If you are returning on, or after May 1st then yes you will need to.

Can’t wait to see you again, Thailand

Thailand is waiting for you
March 31st, 2025
I live in Thailand on a NON-IMM O visa (Thai family). However Thailand as country of residence is not selectable. What to select? country of nationality? That would make no sense as I haven’t a residency outside off Thailand.
March 31st, 2025
Looks like an early error, maybe select nationality for now because all non-Thai need to fill it out according to current info.
March 31st, 2025
Yes, will do so. Seems the application is more focused on tourists and short-term visitors and not so much considering the specific situation of long-term visa holders. Besides TDAC, „East German“ doesn’t exist anymore since November 1989!
March 31st, 2025
I have a 2-hour stop over in Kenya from Amsterdam. Do I need a Yellow Fever Certificate even in transit?
The Ministry of Public Health has issued regulations that applicants who have travelled from or through the countries which have been declared Yellow Fever Infected Areas must provide an International Health Certificate proving that they have received a Yellow Fever vaccination.
March 31st, 2025
It would appear so: https://www.mfa.go.th/en/publicservice/5d5bcc2615e39c306000a30d?cate=5d5bcb4e15e39c30600068d3
RR
March 31st, 2025
So they're going to track everyone for safety reasons? Where have we heard that before, eh?
March 31st, 2025
This is the same question that the TM6 had, and that was introduced over 40 years ago.
raymond

I intend to travel from Poipet Cambodia via Bangkok to Malaysia by Thailand train without stopping in Thailand. How do I fill up the accommodation page??
March 31st, 2025
You check the box that says:
[x] I am a transit passenger, I don't stay in Thailand
Allan
March 31st, 2025
Does a Non-immigrant O visa require submitting DTAc?
March 31st, 2025
Yes, if you are arriving on or after May 1st.
March 31st, 2025
This seems to be okay as long as we can type in the information they need. If we have to start uploading things like photos, fingerprints, etc., it will be too much work.
March 31st, 2025
No document upload is required, just a 2-3 page form.
(if you traveled through Africa then it's a 3 pager)
Dave
March 31st, 2025
Can you submit the form on a laptop? And get the QR code back on a laptop?
March 31st, 2025
The QR is sent to your email as a PDF, so you should be able to use any device.
Steve Hudson
April 1st, 2025
OK, so I screenshot the QR CODE from the PDF from my email, right??? Because I will not have internet access upon arrival.
April 5th, 2025
You can screenshot it without even getting the email they show it at the end of the application.
March 31st, 2025
Do DTV Visa holders require to fill out this digital card?
April 1st, 2025
Yes, you would still need to do this if you are arriving on or after May 1st.
March 31st, 2025
It is stated that the TDAC application must be made 3 days before entering the country. Question 1: 3 days AT THE LATEST? If yes, how many days AT THE EARLIEST before entering the country? Question 2: How long to receive the result if living in the EU? Question 3: Are these rules likely to change by January 2026? Question 4: What about the visa exemption: will it be reverted to 30 days or remain at 60 days starting from January 2026? Thank you for answering all these 4 questions by sworn persons (please no
April 1st, 2025
1) It is not possible to apply more than 3 days before entering the country.
2) Approval is instant, even for EU residents.
3) No one can predict the future, but these measures seem to be planned for the long term. For example, the TM6 form has been in place for over 40 years.
4) To date, no official announcement has been made regarding the duration of the visa exemption starting from January 2026. Therefore, it remains unknown.
April 2nd, 2025
Thank you.
April 2nd, 2025
Thank you. 3 days before entry: it's a bit rushed, but okay. So: if I plan to enter Thailand on January 13, 2026: from what EXACT date should I send my TDAC application at the earliest (since my flight would leave on January 12): January 9 or January 10 (considering the time difference between France and Thailand on those dates)?
April 2nd, 2025
Please respond, thank you.
April 5th, 2025
It's based on Thailand time.
So if the arrival date is January 12th you would be able to submit as early as January 9th (in Thailand).
Paul Bailey
April 1st, 2025
I fly into Bangkok on the 10th May and then on the 6th June fly to Cambodia for about 7 days for a side trip and then re enter Thailand again. Do I have to send another online ETA form ?
April 1st, 2025
Yes, you would need to fill one out each time you enter Thailand.
Same as the old TM6.
Alex
April 1st, 2025
If you are staying in various hotels in different cities which address do you enter on your form?
April 1st, 2025

I went through all comments and got a good view about the TDAC but the only thing I still don't know is how many days before arrival I can fill in this form? The form itself seems easy to fill in!
April 1st, 2025
At most 3 days!
Jack
April 1st, 2025
What if I were to decide to travel to Thailand within 3 days? Then obviously I cannot submit the form 3 days in advance.
April 1st, 2025
Then you can submit it 1-3 days.
Dave
April 1st, 2025
You stated the QR code is sent to your e-mail. How long after doing the form is the QR code sent to my e-mail?
April 1st, 2025
Within 1 to 5 minutes
April 12th, 2025
I can’t see a space for email
Darius
April 1st, 2025
So far,so good!
April 1st, 2025
Yeah, I remember one time I went to the bathroom, and while I was in there, they handed out the TM6 cards. When I came back, the lady refused to give me one afterward.
I had to get a one after we landed...
April 1st, 2025
So when traveling with my Thai Family. Do I lie and put down that I'm traveling solo? As it's not a requirement for Thais.
MSTANG
April 1st, 2025
Will a traveler be denied entry if they missed the 72 hours deadline to submit the DTAC ?
April 1st, 2025
It is unclear, the requirement may be required by airlines before boarding, and there may be a way to do it once landed if you did somehow forget.
April 1st, 2025
sure all! your data will be safe. lol. they call it "land of scams"- good luck

April 1st, 2025
Transit in that context means if you were on a connecting flight.
be aware of fraud

April 1st, 2025
Yes, starting May 1st

Looks pretty straight forward to me. I fly on the 30th April and land on the 1st May🤞the system doesn’t crash.
April 1st, 2025
The app appears pretty well thought out, it looks like the team learned from Thailand Pass.
April 1st, 2025
What if the passport does have a family name? In the screenshots, it's compulsory to put a family name; in that case, what should a user do?
Generally, there is an option that says 'Don't have a family name' on other countries' websites like Vietnam, China, and Indonesia.
April 1st, 2025
Maybe, N/A, a space, or a dash?

Once completed on my computer, how do I get the QR CODE onto my MOBILE PHONE to present to immigration upon my arrival???
April 1st, 2025
Email it, airdrop it, take a photo, print it, message it, or simply complete the form on your phone and screenshot it.
Francisco
April 1st, 2025
I am planning to enter Thailand under the visa exemption rules that allow a 60-day stay, but I will extend an additional 30 days once I am in Thailand. Can I show a departure flight on the TDAC that is 90 days from my arrival date?
April 2nd, 2025
Yes, that is fine.
April 2nd, 2025
Upon completion of TDAC, can the visitor use the e-gate for arrival?
April 2nd, 2025
Not likely, as the Thailand arrival e-gate is more related to Thai nationals and select foreign passport holders.
The TDAC is not related to your visa type, so it's safe to assume that you will not be able to use the arrival e-gate.
Someone
April 2nd, 2025
Do we need TDAC if we already have a visa (any kind of visa or education visa)?
April 2nd, 2025
Yes
April 2nd, 2025
Non-O extension
April 2nd, 2025
Even holding a Non-O visa? Since TDAC is a card replacing TM6. But Non-O visa holders don’t need TM6 before. Does that mean they still need to apply for TDAC before arrival?
April 2nd, 2025
Non-o holders always needed to fill out the TM6.
You may be confused as they temporarily suspended the TM6 requirements.
"Bangkok, 17 October 2024 – Thailand has extended the suspension of the requirement to fill out the ‘To Mo 6’ (TM6) immigration form for foreign travellers entering and exiting Thailand at 16 land and sea checkpoints until 30 April 2025"
So on schedule its coming back May 1st as the TDAC which you can apply for as early as April 28th for a May 1st arrival.
April 2nd, 2025
thanks for clarification
shinasia
April 2nd, 2025
Scheduled to enter on May 1st. By when should I apply for TDAC? Can I apply just before entry if I forget to apply?
April 2nd, 2025
If you plan to enter on May 1, you can apply starting April 28. Please apply for the TDAC as early as possible. We recommend applying in advance for a smooth entry.

April 2nd, 2025
You chose your nationality country
Dwain Burchell
April 2nd, 2025
Can I apply before May 1st?
April 2nd, 2025
1) Must be at most 3 days before your arrival
So technically you can if you are arriving on May 1st, then you would be applying before May 1st, as early as April 28th.

Returning to Thailand with a Non-O visa, I obviously do not have a return flight! What future date should I put for the exit and what flight number should I use since I do not have it yet?
April 2nd, 2025
The Departure field is optional, so in your case, you should leave it blank.

April 3rd, 2025
If you complete the form, the departure date and flight number is a mandatory field. You cannot submit the form without it.

I am Laotian. My journey is that I drive from Laos to park at the Chong Mek border checkpoint on the Laos side. Then, when I check my documents and walk into Thailand, I will hire a Thai pickup truck to take me to Ubon Ratchathani Airport and board a flight to Bangkok. My travel date is May 1, 2025. How should I fill out the form regarding arrival information and travel details?
April 2nd, 2025
They will fill out the TDAC form and select the travel mode as 'LAND'.
Nini
April 3rd, 2025
You need to enter the vehicle registration number from Laos or the hired vehicle.
April 3rd, 2025
Yes, but you can do it while you are in the car.
Nini
April 3rd, 2025
I don't understand because the vehicle from Laos does not drive into Thailand. At the Chong Mek checkpoint, I will hire a Thai tour vehicle, so I want to know which vehicle registration number I need to enter.
April 3rd, 2025
If you walk across the border into Thailand, select 'Other' and there is no need to fill in the vehicle registration number.
April 2nd, 2025
I arrive at Bangkok airport and have my connecting flight 2 hours later. Do I still need the form?
April 2nd, 2025
Yes, but just select the same arrival and departure date.
This will automatically select the option 'I am a transit passenger'.
Kaew
April 2nd, 2025
In the case of a Laotian still in Thailand, how should I proceed to continue my passport for exit and then re-enter Thailand? Please provide some advice.
April 2nd, 2025
They will fill out the TDAC form and select the travel mode as 'LAND'.

At the time of TM6, there was a stub at the time of departure. This time, is there anything required at the time of departure? If the departure schedule is unclear when filling out the TDAC, is it okay not to fill it out?
April 3rd, 2025
Depending on the visa, a departure date may be required.
For example, if entering without a visa, a departure date is required, but if entering with a long-term visa, a departure date is not necessary.

You can do it as early as April 28th in your case.

Is the TDAC application from 3 days prior? Or is it until 3 days prior?
April 3rd, 2025
You can apply up to 3 days in advance, so it is also possible to apply on the same day, the day before, or a few days prior.
April 3rd, 2025
Starting from May 1st, do I need to fill it out if I go to Thailand at the end of April?
April 3rd, 2025
If you arrive before May 1st, you do not need to take any action.

My boss has an APEC card. Do they need this TDAC or not? Thanks

Yes, your boss is still required. He would have still had to do the TM6, so he will also need to do the TDAC.

To whom it may concern, I'm traveling in June. I am retired and now want to retire in Thailand. Will there be a problem purchasing a one-way ticket? In other words, will I need any other documentation?
April 3rd, 2025
This has very little to do with the TDAC, and more to do with the visa you will be arriving on.
If you just arrive without any visa then yes, you will run into issues without having a return flight.
You should join the Facebook groups mentioned on this website, and ask this, and provide more context.

Dear Sir/Madam, I have identified several issues with your new DAC online system.
I just tried to submit for a date in May. I realize that the system is not operational yet but I could complete most of the boxes/fields.
I note that this system is for all non-Thais, regardless of visa/entry conditions.
I have identified the following issues.
1/Departure date and flight number is marked * and mandatory! Many people entering Thailand on long-term visas such as Non O or OA have no legal requirement to have a departure date/flight out of Thailand. We cannot submit this form online without departure flight information (date and a flight number)
2/I am a British passport holder, but as a Non O visa retiree, my country of residence and my home is in Thailand. I am also a Thailand resident for tax purposes. There is no option for me to select Thailand. The UK is not my residence. I haven't lived there for years. Do you want us to lie and select a different country?
3/So many countries on the drop-down menu are listed under 'The'. This is illogical and I have never seen a country drop-down ever that doesn't start with a country's or a state's first letter. 🤷♂️
4/What do I do if I am in a foreign country one day and make a spontaneous decision to fly to Thailand the next day, i.e., Vietnam to Bangkok? Your DAC website and information state that this should be submitted 3 days before. What if I decide to come to Thailand in 2 days' time? Am I not allowed to come under my retirement visa and re-entry permit?
This new system is supposed to be an improvement on the current one. Since you disposed of the TM6, the current system is easy.
This new system has not been thought through and is not logical.
I submit my constructive criticism with respect to help shape this system before it goes live on 1 May 2025, before it causes many visitors and immigration a headache.
April 3rd, 2025
1) It's actually optional.
2) For now, you should still choose UK.
3) It's not perfect, but since it's an autocomplete field, it will still show the correct result.
4) You can submit it as soon as you're ready. There's nothing stopping you from submitting it on the same day you travel.
Dany Pypops
April 3rd, 2025
I stay in Thailand. When I want to fill in the 'Country of residence', it's impossible. Thailand is not included in the list of countries.
April 3rd, 2025
This is a known issue at the moment; for now, choose your passport country.
April 3rd, 2025
If I forget to fill out the TDAC, can I complete the formalities at Bangkok airport?
April 3rd, 2025
It is not clear. Airlines may require it before boarding.
April 4th, 2025
I think it is already clear. The TDAC must be filled out at least 3 days before arrival.
April 3rd, 2025
Do diplomatic passport holders also have to fill out
April 3rd, 2025
Yes, they would be required to (the same as the TM6).
April 3rd, 2025
I hold a Non-0 (retirement) visa. Each annual extension by immigration services adds a number and date of validity for the last annual extension. I assume that is the number that needs to be entered? Correct or not?
April 3rd, 2025
That is an optional field
April 4th, 2025
So my NON-O visa is about 8 years old and I annually get the extension based on retirement which comes with a number and expiration date. So what exactly should one enter in the field visa in that case?
April 4th, 2025
You can enter the original visa number, or the extension number.
April 4th, 2025
Hi, I arrive in Thailand and will be there for 4 days, I then fly to Cambodia for 5 days before returning to Thailand for 12 more days. Do I have to re-submit TDAC before I re-enter Thailand from Cambodia?

You would have to do it each time you enter Thailand.

HASSAN
April 6th, 2025
What about the airline details? Should they be entered correctly, or when making them, should we provide only initial information to create the card?
April 6th, 2025
It needs to match when you are entering Thailand.
So if hotel, or airline charges before you have entered then you must update it.
After you already arrived it shouldn't matter anymore if you decided to switch hotels.
April 6th, 2025
Thai Privilege (Thai elite) members didn't write anything when entering Thailand. But this time do they also need to write this form? If so, It's VERY inconvenient !!!
April 6th, 2025
This is false. Thai Privilege (Thai elite) members did need to fill out TM6 cards when they were previously required.
So yes you still need to complete the TDAC even with Thai Elite.

April 16th, 2025
In your case, the 9465 would be the visa number.
The 2567 is the Buddhist Era year it was issued in. If you subtract 543 years from that number, you would get 2024, which is the year your visa was issued.

Is it necessary to complete a TDAC if I arrive around 23:20 on April 29 and pass through immigration after 00:00 on May 1 due to a delay?
April 28th, 2025
Yes, if this situation occurs and you arrive after May 1, you will need to submit a TDAC.

My arrival date is on 2nd May but I can’t seem to click on the correct date. When you say within three days does it mean we have to apply in three days span and not before that?
April 28th, 2025
Correct, you cannot apply further than that into the future unless you use an agency / 3rd party.

Hello Admin, if a foreigner is already in Thailand and has not yet left the country, how should they fill it out? Or can they fill it out in advance?
April 28th, 2025
You can fill it out in advance no more than 3 days before returning to Thailand.
For example, if you are traveling out of Thailand and flying back in 3 days, you can fill it out while you are still in Thailand.
But if you are returning in more than 3 days, the system will not allow you to fill it out yet; you will have to wait.
However, if you want to prepare earlier than that, you can hire an agency to handle it in advance.

I could not find the country Hong Kong.
April 28th, 2025
You can put HKG, and it should show you the option for Hong Kong.

Subject: Clarification Regarding Name Format for TDAC Arrival Card Respected Sir/Madam, I am a citizen of the Republic of India and am planning to visit Thailand (Krabi and Phuket) for a holiday. As part of the travel requirements, I understand that it is mandatory to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) prior to arrival. I am fully prepared to comply with this requirement and respect all relevant rules and regulations. However, I am facing difficulty while filling out the Personal Information section of the TDAC form. Specifically, my Indian passport does not contain a “Surname” field. Instead, it only mentions the “Given Name” as “Rahul Mahesh”, and the Surname field is blank. In this situation, I kindly request your guidance on how to correctly fill out the following fields in the TDAC form to avoid any issues or delays during immigration processing at Krabi Airport: 1. Family Name (Surname) – What should I enter here? 2. First Name – Should I enter “Rahul”? 3. Middle Name – Should I enter “Mahesh”? Or leave it blank? Your assistance in clarifying this matter will be greatly appreciated, as I wish to ensure that all details are correctly submitted in accordance with immigration standards. Thank you very much for your time and support. Sincerely,
April 28th, 2025
If you do not have a Family Name (Last Name, or Surname), simply enter a single dash ("-") in the TDAC form.

Good day. Please answer, if my flight details are Vladivostok-BKK by one airline Aeroflot, I will check my baggage at Bangkok airport. After I stay at the airport, I will check in for the flight to Singapore on the same day. Do I need to fill in the TDAC in this case?
April 28th, 2025
Yes, you still need to submit a TDAC. However, if you select the same day for both arrival and departure, accommodation details will not be required.

Do I understand correctly that if I fly with one airline in transit through Thailand and do not leave the transit zone, I do not need to fill out the TDAC?
April 28th, 2025
It's still required, they even have a "I am a transit passenger, I don't stay in Thailand." option you can select if your departure is within 1 day of your arrival.

Yes, you still need to submit a TDAC. However, if you select the same day for both arrival and departure, accommodation details will not be required.

So, can we not fill in the placement field? Is this allowed?
April 28th, 2025
You do not fill out the accommodation field, it will appear disabled as long as you set the dates correctly.

I am Belgian and have been living and working in Thailand since 2020. I have never had to fill this in, not even on paper. And I travel very regularly for my work worldwide. Do I have to fill this out again for each trip? And I cannot select Thailand where I leave in the app.
April 29th, 2025
Yes you will now need to start to submit a TDAC for EACH time you arrive internationally into Thailand.
You cannot select Thailand where you leave because it's only required for entering Thailand.

Hello, I am leaving on May 1st from Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia. During my TDAC registration, under 'Arrival information: Date of arrival', the date May 2, 2025 is invalid. What should I enter?
April 29th, 2025
You may need to wait 1 more day as they only allow you to submit within 3 days from the current day.

Hi Sir, I will transit from Malaysia from Phuket to Samui. How do I apply for TDAC?

The TDAC is only required for INTERNATIONAL arrival.
If you are just taking a domestic flight it is NOT needed.

Hi, I’m Laotian and planning to go on holiday in Thailand using my personal car. While filling out the required vehicle information, I noticed that I could only enter the numbers, but not the two Lao letters at the front of my plate. I was just wondering if that’s okay or if there’s another way to include the full license plate format? Thank you in advance for your help!
April 29th, 2025
Put the numbers for now (hopefully they fix it)
April 29th, 2025
Actually its fixed now.
You can enter letters, and numbers for the license plate.

Dear TDAC Thailand,
I'm Malaysian. I have registered for TDAC in the 3 steps. The closing required a valid e-mail address to send the successful TDAC form with TDAC number to me. However, the email address can't be switched to 'small font' in the email column. Therefore, I can't receive the approval. But I managed to take a snapshot of the TDAC approval number on my phone. QUESTION, can I show the TDAC approved number during immigration check-in??? Thank you.
April 29th, 2025
You can show the approval QR code/document they allow you to download.
The email version is not required, and is the same document.
April 29th, 2025
Are Permanent Residents required to submit TDAC?
April 29th, 2025
Yes, unfortunately it is still required.
If you are not Thai and are entering Thailand internationally, you must complete a TDAC, just like you previously had to complete the TM6 form.

How should I fill in the occupation section of the application form? I am a photographer, I filled in photographer, but it showed an error.
April 29th, 2025
OCCUPATION field is a text field, you can enter any text. It should not display 'invalid'.

Full Name (as it appears in passport) has been filled in wrongly by me, how could I update that?
April 29th, 2025
You need to submit a new one as your NAME is NOT an editable field.

How long do I have to wait for the card? I haven't received it in my email?
April 30th, 2025
Usually it's pretty quick. Check your spam folder for the TDAC.
Also, you could have just downloaded the PDF after you completed it.

Ich habe ein 1 Jahres Visum zum Aufenthalt in Thailand. Adresse hinterlegt mit gelbem Hausbuch sowie ID Karte.Ist ein TDAC Formular zwingend auszufüllen?
April 30th, 2025
Ja, auch wenn Sie ein Einjahresvisum, ein gelbes Hausbuch und einen thailändischen Personalausweis besitzen, müssen Sie das TDAC trotzdem ausfüllen, wenn Sie kein thailändischer Staatsbürger sind.

Hi, may I ask what if I leave on May 2 at night and arrive on May 3 at midnight in Thailand? Which date should I enter on my Arrival Card since the TDAC only allows me to enter one date?
April 30th, 2025
You can select Transit Passenger if your arrival date is within 1 day of your departure date.
This will make it so you do not need to fill out the accommodation.

ในกรณีที่เป็น US NAVY ที่เดินทางโดยเรือรบมาทำการฝึกในประเทศไทยต้องทำการแจ้งในระบบด้วยไหมคะ
It says submit TDAC 72 hours before arriving in Thailand. I have not seen is that Day arrive or time flight arrive? IE: i arrive 20 May at 2300. Thank you
April 30th, 2025
It is really "Within 3 Days Before Arrival".
So you can submit the same day of arrival, or up to 3 days before your arrival.
Or you can use a submission service to handle the TDAC for you much earlier before your arrival.

Wenn ich nur Durchreise Transit also von Philippinen nach Bangkok und sofort weiter nach Deutschland ohne Stop in Bangkok nur muss ich koffer abholen und wieder Einchecken 》 benötige ich den Antrag?
April 30th, 2025
Ja, Sie können "Transitpassagier" auswählen, wenn Sie das Flugzeug verlassen. Bleiben Sie jedoch an Bord und fliegen ohne Einreise weiter, ist die TDAC nicht erforderlich.

What if I bought ticket 9 of May to flight 10 of May? Avia companies can't sell tickets to Thailand for 3 days or customers will Condemn them. What about if I have to stay 1 night near Donmueang airport in hotel to connecting flights? I don't think that TDAC made by smart people.
April 30th, 2025
You can submit the TDAC within 3 days of arrival so for your first scenario you simply submit it.
As for the second scenario they have a option for "I am a transit passenger" which would be fine.
