If I have an O visa stamp and a Re-Entry stamp, what visa number do I submit on the TDAC form? Thanks.

For your TDAC you would use your original non-o visa number, or a yearly extension stamp number if you have it.

TDAC, if I leave Australia and change over in Singapore to Bangkok (layover time 2 hours) both flights have different flight numbers, I have heard to just put Australia and then heard you must put the last port of call i.e. Singapore, which is correct.

You use your origin flight number where you originally boarded for your TDAC.

So for your case it would be Australia.

I understood this form was to be completed 3 days before arrival in Thailand.   I leave in 3 days on 3rd May and arrive on 4th May.. the form is not allowing me to put 03/05/25

The rule did not say complete 3 days before I left

I just tried to fill out the TDAC and couldn't proceed.

I am flying from Germany on May 3, with a layover on May 4 in Beijing and then flying from Beijing to Phuket. I arrive in Thailand on May 4.

I entered that I am boarding in Germany, but I can only select May 4 (and later) for the 'Departure Date'; May 3 is greyed out and cannot be selected. Or is that referring to the departure from Thailand when I fly back?

I can depend on your visa type.

If you arrive without a visa then you may run into issues with immigration as they may want to see a departure ticket.

In those cases it would make sense to submit the TDAC departure info.

If you are entering Thailand on a visa exemption, tourist visa, or visa on arrival (VOA), a return or onward flight is already a mandatory requirement, so you should be able to provide that information for your TDAC submission.

Suggestion is to book a flight where you can modify the dates.

What if I bought a ticket on May 9 for a flight on May 10? 
Airlines can't sell tickets to Thailand for 3 days or customers will condemn them. 
What about if I have to stay 1 night near Don Mueang airport in a hotel for connecting flights? 
I don't think that the TDAC was made by smart people.

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 an option for "I am a transit passenger"

It is really "Within 3 Days Before Arrival".

So you can submit on 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.

Dear TDAC Thailand,

I'm Malaysian. I have registered TDAC in 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

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,

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.

However, if you plan to return 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.
