Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) Requirements

TDAC can be submitted directly for free within 72 hours of arrival.

Alternatively, you can start applying in advance through a reliable agency for a fee ($8). Then it will be automatically submitted and issued when it is 72 hours before arrival.

For your TDAC, you will use your Pattaya address, as that is the first place you will stay.

At the moment the TDAC is not required when leaving Thailand.

But it is being asked for if you apply for certain visa types, so it makes sense to save your TDAC email/pdf.

If you do not have a family name or surname, for filling out the TDAC form, you simply enter a dash like this: "-"

For the information on the departure date from Thailand in the TDAC form, it is not necessary to fill it out if the student has accommodation in Thailand and will stay for more than 1 day.

The departure date information only needs to be filled out if the student does not have accommodation information in Thailand, such as if it is a transit flight or if they are only staying for 1 day.

Therefore, if they do not have plans to book a return ticket at the end of the internship, they can leave the departure date blank without any issues.

If you lose your TDAC information, you can try contacting <a href="mailto:[email protected]"

I did not receive a confirmation email before entering Thailand, but foreigners have already passed through Thai immigration. When applying for a visa extension, it is necessary to use the confirmation letter. I have sent the details via email to <a href="mailto:[email protected]"

You don’t need to cancel your TDAC application. Your family members should still be able to enter Thailand without any problems, even though the applications were submitted together.

If there’s any issue at the airport, they can fill out a new TDAC there. Another option is to resubmit a new TDAC for them just to be safe.

Worked for me, it's "PATHUM WAN", and "LUMPHINI"

You can submit the TDAC form on the same day as your flight, or use the agent form to submit it ahead of time: https://tdac.agents.co.th

If you were charged $18, it’s likely because you selected both the early submission service ($8) and a $10 eSIM during checkout.

Please note that eSIMs are not free, and submitting the TDAC more than 72 hours in advance requires assistance. That’s why agents charge a small service fee for early processing.

If you submit within the 72-hour window, it's 100% free.

Unfortunately, I issued the request within 72 hours and the amount was charged 
Unfortunately, I made the visit twice, which doubled the amount for two people, and I did not benefit from the service. How can I get a refund or benefit from it?

It is fine to resubmit your TDAC multiple times; they will pay attention to your latest submission.

There is no limit if you use an agency like "tdac.agents"

Yes, please be careful with iVisa, there is an overview here: https://tdac.in.th/scam

If you have a separate ticket for the flight from Guangzhou to Thailand, you must select “CHN” (China) as the country of departure when filling out the TDAC.

However, if you have a continuous ticket from the Netherlands to Thailand (with only a stopover in Guangzhou, without leaving the airport), you should choose “NLD” (Netherlands) as the country of departure on your TDAC.

If you are stepping off the plane, then yes, you will need the TDAC, even if you are not leaving the airport.

If you cannot proceed with entering a Thai address or accommodation, please try the following link.
Please share it with your friends:

Yes, if you are staying at a friend's house in Thailand, you should fill in your friend's address in Thailand when completing the TDAC. This is to inform the immigration bureau of your accommodation in Thailand.

If you register through the official government site, unfortunately, the passport number cannot be changed after submission.

However, if you use the service at http://tdac.agents.co.th

So what is the solution? Should I make a new one?

Yes, if you used the official TDAC domain then you need to submit a new TDAC to change your passport number, name, and a few other fields.

No, please do not submit false information for the TDAC.

If you want to submit it early, you can use services like tdac.agents.co.th, but do not submit false information there either.

If you are traveling with a Thai passport, you do not need a TDAC.

If you used the agent's system for your TDAC, then yes, you can; otherwise, no, you would have to submit your TDAC again.

If you arrive in Thailand with a Thai passport, you do not need to complete a TDAC.

Thank you. I apologize, I would like to correct my question.

For the TDAC form, you must enter Ethiopia as the transit country, as you will have a layover there before arriving in Thailand.

For TDAC, if you have letters in your name that are not A-Z, replace them with the nearest letter, so for you just "o"

You mean instead of ö

yes "o"

Enter the name exactly as it appears on the ID page of the passport at the bottom in capital letters in the first line of the machine-readable code.

For her TDAC, she will fill in her date of birth. If she has any questions, she may need to resolve them upon arrival. Has she used this document to go to Thailand before?

This is her first time in Thailand. We are preparing to enter BKK on 09/06/2025.

This is her first time traveling to Thailand. We will arrive at BKK on 09/06/2025.

Yes, regardless of what type of visa you hold or if you have a work permit, if you are a foreigner traveling to Thailand, you must fill out the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) every time you enter the country, including cases where you go on a business trip and return within a few days. The TDAC replaces the old form TM6 entirely.

It is recommended to fill it out online in advance before entering the country to facilitate passing through immigration.

TDAC is a requirement for all foreigners entering Thailand, but if you are traveling by warship, it may be considered a special case. It is recommended to contact the commanding officer or relevant officials, as travel on behalf of the military may be exempt or have different procedures.

It is only an issue if you did not complete a TDAC and entered Thailand after May 1st.

Otherwise, it's completely fine not to have a TDAC if you entered before May 1st, as it did not exist at that time.

On the agent TDAC form, you can click back and check if you added an eSIM, and uncheck that if you do not need one, then it should be free.

I suggest you join the Facebook community and ask there. Your question is not TDAC related.

The TDAC portal for agents correctly supports the spelling of the district VADHANA as an alternative spelling for WATTANA.

https://tdac.agents.co.th

For filling out TDAC, only specify the first province you will travel to. Other provinces do not need to be filled out.

If you submitted your TDAC on "tdac.immigration.go.th", then: [email protected]

And if you submitted your TDAC on "tdac.agents.co.th", then: <a href="mailto:[email protected]"

For TDAC, you do not need to print it out.

However, many people choose to print their own TDAC.

You just need to show the QR code screenshot or PDF.

There seems to be an error in the main TDAC system.

If you remember the issued TDAC number, you can try editing your TDAC.

If not, try this: https://tdac.agents.co.th (very reliable)

Or reapply through http://tdac.immigration.go.th

TDAC has nothing to do with extending your stay. If you enter before May 1, you do not need TDAC at this time. TDAC is required for entry into Thailand for non-Thai nationals only.

For the TDAC, you can choose a return flight 90 days before arrival if you are entering with a 60-day visa exemption and plan to apply for a 30-day extension of your stay.

What type of visa did you enter Thailand with?

If it is a short-term visa, the officer's response is likely correct.

Many people choose Thailand as their country of residence when applying for a TDAC and enter Thailand.

For your TDAC you select ARE as the country code.

Which URL did you use to submit the TDAC?

For the TDAC if your name has a dash inside of it, replace it with a space instead.

Is it okay if there is no space available?

You can try the agent portal:

https://tdac.agents.co.th

For the TDAC you would choose Dubai => Bangkok as it is the arrival flight.

Thank you

Thank you

Approval should take effect immediately, but an error has been reported on https://tdac.immigration.go.th.

Alternatively, if you arrive within 72 hours, you can also apply for free at https://tdac.agents.co.th/

You do not need to do anything to cancel the TDAC. Let it expire, and apply for a new TDAC next time.

For the TDAC it's not required at the moment to update anything after your arrival date.

Only your current plans on the day of your arrival need to be on the TDAC.

Although you only enter for a day, or even just for an hour and then leave, you still need the TDAC. Everyone entering Thailand through the border must fill out the TDAC, regardless of how long they stay.

The TDAC also does not need to be canceled. When you do not use it, it will expire on its own.

At the moment they do not ask for the TDAC when leaving Thailand, but it is starting to be required for some types of visa submissions from within Thailand.

For example, the LTR visa is requiring the TDAC if you arrived after May 1st.

The TDAC is only required for entry at the moment, but this may change in the future.

It appears the BOI is already requiring the TDAC for applicants applying within Thailand for the LTR if they arrived after May 1st.

You do not need to modify your TDAC after you already arrived. It is not required to keep the TDAC updated after you already entered.
