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.
Hello I have been trying to fill out your Thailand Departure Card and keep have technical issues. Example I enter year/month/day as shown and system indicated invalid format. Arrow down freezes & more. Tried 4 times changed browsers cleared history.
Please try the AGENTS system; it will accept all dates:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyHello, I am traveling in January from Frankfurt via a stopover in Abu Dhabi to Bangkok. Which departure airport and which flight number do I enter? Thanks
You should indicate the UAE in your TDAC registration, as you will be travelling directly from there to Thailand.
I ordered a 50 GB eSIM for me and my wife, how do we activate it?
You must be connected to WiFi, and be in Thailand. All you need to do is scan the QR code.
I am flying tomorrow 15/11 but I cannot fill in the date. Arrival 16/11.
Try the AGENTS system
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyIt just shows an error when I try to fill it in. Then I have to start over again.
Flight from Venice to Vienna then Bangkok and Phuket, which flight do I have to write on the TDAC, thank you very much
Select the flight to Bangkok if you leave the aircraft for your TDAC
I have to leave on the 25th: Venice, Vienna, Bangkok, Phuket. Which flight number do I have to write? Thank you very much.
Select the flight to Bangkok if you leave the aircraft for your TDAC
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-applyHi. I am going to Thailand on 12 December, but I am not able to fill out the DTAC card. Best regards, Frank
You can submit your TDAC early here:
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-applyI indicated that the card was a group card but during submission it went to preview and it turned out that I already had to obtain the card. It ended up as an individual card because I didn't add the travelers. Will this be acceptable or do I need to redo it?
You need a TDAC QR code for EACH traveler. It doesn't matter whether it is in one document or in several, but each traveler must have a TDAC QR code.
So good
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. THERE IT ASKS FOR THE SUBDISTRICT. WHAT IS IT CALLED?
For the TDAC Town / 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?
You simply write "u" instead of "ü" for your TDAC, as it only allows letters from 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’m going to Thailand but while filling out the form: Is a return ticket mandatory, or can I buy it after I arrive? My stay might be extended, so I don’t want to buy it too early.
A return ticket is also required for TDAC, just like for visa applications. If you are entering Thailand on a tourist visa or under visa exemption, you must show a return or onward flight ticket. This is part of the immigration regulations and this information must also be included in 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 acceptable, because some countries list the given name first and some list the 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 need to 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, and when returning to Thailand, can we complete the TDAC at the border without a smartphone?
No, you will have to submit the TDAC online; they do not have kiosks like the airports do.
You can submit it in advance via:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyAfter completing the registration for the Thailand Digital Arrival Card, I received a reply email, but the QR code was shown as deleted. Upon entry, is it sufficient to present the registration data listed below the QR code?
If you have a screenshot of your TDAC number or the confirmation email, you can present that and it will be fine.
If you applied using our system, you can also log in again here to download it:
https://agents.co.th/tdac-applyI only have a one-way ticket (from Italy to Thailand) and I do not know the return date. How can I complete the TDAC in the field “departure from Thailand”?
The return section is optional only if you are traveling with a long‑term visa. If you enter visa‑exempt (without a visa), 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 visa‑exempt travelers. Also remember to have 20,000 THB in cash upon your arrival.
Hi! I have filled in the TDAC and sent it last week. But I have not received any answer from TDAC. What should I do? I am travelling to Thailand this Wednesday. My personal identity number is 19581006-3536. Best regards, Björn Hantoft
We do not understand which personal identity number this is. Please also 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 have to enter Turkey or Germany in the 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 the address of 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 on a one-way ticket unless you hold a long-term visa. This is not a TDAC rule, but an exemption rule related to the visa requirement.
I have finished filling in the information and submitted it, but I did not receive an email. I also cannot register again. What can I do?
You can test 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 the TDAC, if you do not have a family name/last name, you still have to fill in the last name field. Just 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 have to stay a few days in Bangkok and then a few days in Chiang Mai. Do I need to make 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 agent system you can easily do it here, 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.
