Ask questions and get help with Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC).
If approval to enter Thailand has been obtained but cannot go, what will happen to the TDAC approval?
At this time, there is nothing.
How many people can I add to submit together?
Many, but if you do that it will all go to one person's email. It may be better to submit individually.
Can I submit tdac without flight number as on standby ticket
Yes, it is optional.
Can we submit tdac on the same day of departure
Yes, it is possible.
I am flying from Frankfurt to Phuket with a stopover in Bangkok. Which flight number should I use for the form? Frankfurt - Bangkok or Bangkok - Phuket? The same question applies for the departure the other way around.
You would use Frankfurt, as it is your origin flight.
Does an ABTC holder need to fill out a TDAC when entering Thailand?
ABTC (APEC Business Travel Card) holders still must submit a TDAC
Does the Visa on Arrival need to submit a TDAC, or is it an exemption?
If you are not a Thai citizen, you still need to complete a TDAC.
I am Indian. Can I apply for TDAC twice within a span of 10 days as I am entering Thailand and leaving twice during my 10-day travel? So do I need to apply twice for TDAC? I am Indian, entering Thailand, then flying to Malaysia from Thailand, and again entering Thailand from Malaysia to visit Phuket. So I need to know the TDAC process.
You would do a TDAC twice. You need to have a new one for EVERY time you enter. So, when you go to Malaysia, you fill out a new one to present to the officer when you enter the country. Your old one will be void when you leave.

My question is, I am entering Thailand and leaving Thailand two times, so do I need to apply for TDAC two times or not?? I need to apply for TDAC from India the first time and the second time from Malaysia, all within a week, so please guide me on this. Please suggest a solution for the same.
Yes, you need to do the TDAC for EACH entry into Thailand. So in your case, you would need TWO.
If I use a PC to fill in the TDAC info, will a printed copy of the TDAC confirmation then be accepted by the immigration control?
Yes.
What should I indicate as the Country of Boarding when I fly from Germany via Dubai to Thailand? The flight number is according to the old departure card, that of the flight with which I arrive. Previously it was Port of embarkation.. Thank you for your answers.
The original departure point, in your case, is the entry into Germany.
Thanks, so also the flight number from Germany to Dubai?? Is that nonsensical, or?
Thanks, so also the flight number from Germany to Dubai?? Is that nonsensical, or?
Only the original flight counts, not the layovers.
Do ABTC holders also need to apply?
For foreigners holding a NON-QUOTA visa and having a residence permit along with an alien identification card, do they need to register for TDAC?
If I have already submitted TDAC and then cannot travel, can I cancel TDAC and what should I do to cancel it?
Not required, just submit a new one if you decide to travel again.
CAN I CANCEL TDAC AFTER SUBMITTED
If I arrive in Thailand on April 28 and stay until May 7, do I need to fill out the TDAC?
No, you do not need it. This is only required for arrivals on May 1 or later.
Thank you!
TDAC will start on 1/5/2025 and must be registered at least 3 days in advance. The question is, if a foreigner enters Thailand on 2/5/2025, they must register in the period from 29/4/2025 - 1/5/2025, right? Or does the system just start allowing registration one day in advance, which is 1/5/2025?
In your case, you can register for TDAC between April 29, 2025, and May 2, 2025.
Has the MOU been registered?
If the flight to Thailand is not direct, do you also have to indicate the country where you have a layover?
No, you simply choose the first country from which you are departing.
Can I apply early 7 days before arrival?
Only with agency.
Can I apply early 7 days?
I live in Thailand. I am on vacation in Germany. But I cannot indicate Thailand under residence. What now? Am I being encouraged to cheat?
No, you do not have to cheat. Thailand will be added as an option on April 28.
If I have a Non B visa/work permit, do I still need to submit this form?
Yes, you do need to fill out the TDAC even if you have a NON-B visa.
What should I do if I registered my TDAC in advance but lost my phone on board or after I got off the plane? And what should I do if I'm an elderly person who couldn't register in advance and got on a plane and doesn't have a companion whose phone has a 3G old phone?
1) If you registered your TDAC but lost your phone, you should have printed it out to be safe. Always bring a hard copy if you're prone to losing your phone. 2) If you're elderly and unable to handle basic online tasks, I honestly wonder how you even managed to book a flight. If you used a travel agent, have them handle the TDAC registration for you too, and print it out.
What should be written in point 2 regarding occupation, what is meant?
You have submitted your work.
Do I need to stand in line or just use the QR code?
It is recommended to print it out, but generally, just taking a screenshot of the QR code on your mobile phone is sufficient for use.
I am going to Vietnam from 23/04/25 to 07/05/25 returning via Thailand on 07/05/25. Do I need to fill out the TDAC form?
If you are not Thai and you exit the plane in Thailand, you will need to fill out the TDAC
If I am a citizen of an ASEAN state, am I required to fill out TDAC?
If you're not a Thai national, then you need to do the TDAC.
How can I cancel a TDAC sent by mistake? I am not traveling until May and was testing the form without realizing I sent it with incorrect dates and without reviewing it?
Just fill out a new one when necessary.
If I’m visiting a bordering province in Thailand for a day trip only from Laos (no overnight stay), how should I fill in the “Accommodation Information” section of the TDAC?
If it's the same day, it won't even require you to fill that section out.
Kosovo is not on the list as far as the reminder for TDAC!!!... Is it on the list of countries when filling out the TDAC pass... thank you.
They do it in a very odd format. Try "REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO"
It is not listed as the Republic of Kosovo either!
Thank you for reporting this, it is fixed now.
IF BANGKOK IS NOT THE DESTINATION BUT ONLY A CONNECTING POINT TO ANOTHER DESTINATION SUCH AS HONG KONG, IS TDAC REQUIRED?
Yes, it is still required. Select the same arrival and departure date. This will automatically select the option 'I am a transit passenger'.
I have never booked accommodation in advance during my trips to Thailand... The requirement to provide an address is burdensome.
If you are traveling to Thailand with a tourist visa or under the visa exemption, this step is part of the entry requirements. Without it, you may be denied entry, whether or not you have a TDAC.
Choose any accommodation in Bangkok and enter the address.
The surname is a mandatory field. How do I fill the form if I do not have a surname? Can someone help, we are traveling in May
In most cases, you can enter NA if you only have a single name.
Hi, but when on TDAC it asks you for the flight number when leaving Thailand. If I have a single ticket from Koh Samui to Milan with a stopover in Bangkok and Doha, do I have to enter the flight number from Koh Samui to Bangkok or the flight number from Bangkok to Doha, i.e., the flight with which I physically leave Thailand?
If it’s a connecting flight, you should enter the original flight details. However, if you're using a separate ticket and the exit flight isn’t connected to the arrival, then you should enter the exit flight instead.
Hello, when the tdac asks for the flight number for departure from Thailand, if I have a single ticket from Koh Samui to Milan with a stop in Bangkok and Doha, should I put the flight number from Koh Samui to Bangkok or the flight number from Bangkok to Doha, that is, the flight with which I physically exit Thailand?
What should I do if I want to temporarily enter during a transit time (about 8 hours)?
Please submit the TDAC. If the arrival date and departure date are the same, accommodation registration is not required, and you can select “transit passenger”.
Thank you.
Upon arrival in Thailand, do you need to show a hotel reservation?
Currently, this is not reported, but having these items may reduce potential issues if you are stopped for other reasons (for example, if you are trying to enter on a tourist or visa waiver).
Good morning. How are you? May you be happy.
Hi, may you be happy.
What departure location should be indicated when in transit? Departure country or country of layover?
You select the original country of departure.
If I am a Sweden Passport Holder and I have Thailand Resident Permit, Do I need to fill this TDAC?
Yes, you still need to do the TDAC, the only exception is Thai nationality.
It’s good aides.
Not that bad of an idea.
I am an Indian passport holder visiting my girlfriend in Thailand. If I don’t want to book a hotel and stay at her home, what documents would I be asked for if I select staying with a friend?
You just put your girlfriend's address. No documents are required at this time.
What about a visa run? When you go and come back on the same day?
Yes, you would still need to fill out the TDAC for a visa run / border bounce.
Yes, you would still need to fill out the TDAC for a visa run / border bounce.
I work in Norway every two months. and am in Thailand on visa exemption every two months. is married to thai wife. and has Swedish passport. is registered in Thailand. Which country should I list as a country of residence?
If you are staying more than 6 months in Thailand, you could put Thailand.
Good afternoon 😊 Suppose I fly from Amsterdam to Bangkok but with a layover at Dubai airport (of about 2.5 hours), what should I fill in at “Country where you boarded”? Regards.
You should choose Amsterdam because flight transfers do not count.
You can also create unnecessary problems, I used to provide some fake address for my stay, with the occupation Prime Minister, it works and no one cares anyway, for the return flight also some random date, no one wants to see the ticket anyway.
Good morning I have a retirement visa and I live in Thailand 11 months per year. Do I need to fill out the DTAC card? I tried to complete an online exam, but when I enter my visa number 9465/2567, it is rejected because the symbol / is not accepted. What should I do?
In your case, the 9465 would be the visa number. The 2567 is the Buddhist Era year it was issued in. If you were to subtract 543 years from that number, you would get 2024, which is the year your visa was issued.
Thank you so much
Is there any exception for senior citizens or elders?
Only exception is for Thai nationals.
