Can I request the results of the registration retroactively? It is necessary for visa extension.
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]"
I successfully applied for and downloaded my TDAC yesterday. However, due to urgent matters, I have to cancel the trip. I would like to ask: 1) Do I need to cancel my TDAC application? 2) I applied together with my family members, who will still proceed with the trip. Will my absence cause any issues for their entry into Thailand, since our applications were submitted together?
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.
When filling out the TDAC application form, the form refused to accept the district and the sub-district from my Bangkok address. Why did they not accept it? The district is Pathumwan and the sub-district is Lumpini, but the form refused to accept them.
Worked for me, it's "PATHUM WAN", and "LUMPHINI"
Hello! I want to travel to Thailand on May 23rd. I have just started filling out the form, but I see the three-day rule. Am I in time? Should I buy a flight for the 24th? Thank you in advance for the information!
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
Everywhere we are told that this TDAC is free of charge. However, I was charged 18 US dollars, can someone tell me why?
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?
I accidentally made a mistake three times, so I created a new TDAC three times. Is that okay?
It is fine to resubmit your TDAC multiple times; they will pay attention to your latest submission.
How early can I apply for my TDAC?
There is no limit if you use an agency like "tdac.agents"
I went to the tdac website. It directed me to a site where I filled out the application form and submitted it. And then 15 minutes I was approved and received my Digital Arrival Card. But I was charged USD $109.99 through my credit card. I first thought it was HKD as I flying to Bangkok from HK. I did not know it was not it was free. The company is IVisa. Please avoid them.
Yes, please be careful with iVisa, there is an overview here: https://tdac.in.th/scam
I am traveling to Thailand from the Netherlands with a stopover in Guangzhou, but I cannot fill in Guangzhou as a transition zone. Should I then fill in the Netherlands?
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.
I am traveling to Kathmandu (Nepal) from Australia. I will be transiting through Thailand airports for 4 hours, then I will catch a flight to Nepal. Should I be required to fill up TDAC? I will not be going out in Thailand.
If you are stepping off the plane, then yes, you will need the TDAC, even if you are not leaving the airport.
I cannot enter the type of accommodation in Thailand or the address; my friend also says they cannot proceed from there.
If you cannot proceed with entering a Thai address or accommodation, please try the following link. Please share it with your friends: https://tdac.agents.co.th/zh-CN
If I am staying at a friend's house in Thailand, should I fill in the address of my friend's house in Thailand?
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.
What if there is a mistake typing the passport number? I have tried to update it but cannot change the passport number.
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.
Is it okay to submit a practice TDAC?
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.
In the case of having two passports, departing from the Netherlands using a Dutch passport and upon arrival in Thailand using a Thai passport, how should I fill out the TM6?
If you are traveling with a Thai passport, you do not need a TDAC.
If I have a mistake in my name, can I correct it in the system after I have submitted?
If you used the agent's system for your TDAC, then yes, you can; otherwise, no, you would have to submit your TDAC again.
In the case of having two passports, arriving in Thailand using a Thai passport and leaving Thailand using a Dutch passport, how should I fill out the TM6?
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.
Hello, I will be in Thailand on 20/5, departing from Argentina with a layover in Ethiopia. Which country should I put as the transit country to fill out the form?
For the TDAC form, you must enter Ethiopia as the transit country, as you will have a layover there before arriving in Thailand.
Has the last name with ö, should I replace it with oe instead?
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.
My mother has a Hong Kong SAR passport. Since she applied for her Hong Kong identity document when she was young, it does not have the month and day of birth. Her Hong Kong SAR passport only has the year of birth but no month or day. Can she apply for TDAC? If so, how should she write the date?
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.
If a foreigner with a work permit goes on a business trip for 3-4 days, do they still need to fill out the TDAC? They have a 1-year visa.
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.
In the case of being a US NAVY member who entered the country on a warship, do I need to fill it out?
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.
What if I did not complete a digital arrival card prior to entering?
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.
I am filling out my TDAC and the system wants 10 dollars. I am doing this with three days left. Can you please help me?
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.
Hi, I need to get information about the arriving visa exemption stream for a visa on arrival. Staying planned for 60 days + 30-day extension. (How best to extend the 30 days?) During this time, I will be applying for DTV. What do I do? 3 weeks until planned arrival. Can you help?
I suggest you join the Facebook community and ask there. Your question is not TDAC related. https://www.facebook.com/groups/thailandvisaadvice
A foreign YouTuber commented that the names of sub-districts or districts appearing in the options use spellings that do not match those on Google Maps or actual usage, but follow the logic of the creators, such as VADHANA = WATTANA (V=วฟ). I recommend checking and comparing with the reality that people use so that foreigners can find the terms more quickly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoLEIR_mC88
The TDAC portal for agents correctly supports the spelling of the district VADHANA as an alternative spelling for WATTANA. https://tdac.agents.co.th
If the destination in Thailand includes multiple provinces, please fill out the address in which province when applying for the TDAC.
For filling out TDAC, only specify the first province you will travel to. Other provinces do not need to be filled out.
Hi, my name is Tj Budiao and I’m trying to obtain my TDAC information and I can’t seem to locate it. Would it be possible for me to receive some assistance, please? Thank you.
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]"
Is it necessary to print the document, or can I just show the PDF document on my mobile to the officer?
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.
I have submitted the entry card but have not received an email. What should I do?
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
In the case of extending a tourist visa for those who arrived before May, how can I stay for another 30 days?
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.
One can stay 60 days without a visa in Thailand, with the option to apply for a visa exemption of 30 days at an immigration office. Must one fill in the return flight date on the TDAC? Now there is also the question of whether they are returning from 60 to 30 days, making it difficult to book for 90 days to go to Thailand in October.
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.
Although my country of residence is Thailand, the customs officer at Don Mueang Airport insists that I should enter Japan as my country of residence because I am Japanese. The staff at the input booth also said that this is incorrect. I believe that the correct procedures are not well established, so I hope for improvements.
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.
I am traveling from Abu Dhabi (AUH). Unfortunately, I can't find this location under 'Country/Territory where you boarded'. Which one should I select instead?
For your TDAC you select ARE as the country code.
I have received my QRCODE, but my parents have not received theirs. What could be the issue?
Which URL did you use to submit the TDAC?
For those with family name and/or first name that has a hyphen or a space in it, how should we input their name? For example: - Family Name: CHEN CHIU - First Name: TZU-NI Thank you!
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?
Hi, I've submitted the application 2 hours ago but haven't received the email confirmation yet.
You can try the agent portal: https://tdac.agents.co.th
I am boarding at London Gatwick then changing planes in Dubai. Should I put London Gatwick or Dubai as my boarding location?
For the TDAC you would choose Dubai => Bangkok as it is the arrival flight.
Thank you
Thank you
Will I receive an email immediately after completing the registration? What should I do if I haven't received an email after a day? 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/
If I have filled it out and when the time comes we have an emergency and cannot go, can I cancel? What do I need to fill out if I want to cancel?
You do not need to do anything to cancel the TDAC. Let it expire, and apply for a new TDAC next time.
I might extend my trip and change my return date from Thailand back to India. Can I update the return date and flight details after arriving in Thailand?
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.
If I use the border pass but have already filled out the TDAC form. I am only going for one day, how do I cancel it?
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.
Hi, do you know if the same digital arrival card is used when leaving Thailand? I filled out the form at the kiosk on arrival, but I'm not sure if that covers departure? Thank you, Terry.
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.
Hi, I’ve arrived in Thailand, but I need to extend my stay by one day. How can I modify my return details? The return date on my TDAC application is no longer accurate.
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.
I would like to know this question.
How should I change the visa type if I submitted the wrong one and it got approved?
What do I do if I submit, and no TDAC file comes?
You can try contact the following TDAC support channels: 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: [email protected]
If I live in Bangkok, do I need the TDAC?
For the TDAC it does not matter where you live in Thailand. All non-Thai nationals entering Thailand must obtain a TDAC.
I can't select WATTHANA for District, Area.
Yeah, I can't select that either in the TDAC.
Select “Vadhana” in the list
Can we submit early 60 days earlier? Also how about transit? Do we need to fill it up?
You can use this service here to submit your TDAC more than 3 days before your arrival. Yes even for transit you have to fill it out, you can select the same arrival, and departure days. This will disable the accommodation requirements for the TDAC. https://tdac.agents.co.th
What to do if my travel to Thailand is canceled after submitting TDAC?
You do not need to do anything to your TDAC if your travel is cancelled to Thailand, and next time you can just submit a new TDAC.
