Introduction to the Thailand Digital Arrival Card
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is an online form that has replaced the paper-based TM6 arrival card. It provides 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.

This video is from the official Thai government website (tdac.immigration.go.th). The subtitles, translations and dubbing were added by us to help travelers. We are not affiliated with the Thai government.
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:
- Personal Information
- Trip & Accommodation Information
- Health Declaration
- Submit your application
- Save or print your confirmation for reference

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

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:

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.
