I am Belgian and have been living and working in Thailand since 2020. I have never had to fill this in, not even on paper. And I travel very regularly for my work worldwide. Do I have to fill this out again for each trip? And I cannot select Thailand as my departure location in the app.

Yes, you will now need to start to submit a TDAC for EACH time you arrive internationally in Thailand.

You cannot select Thailand where you leave because it's only required for entering Thailand.

Good day. Please answer, If my flight details are Vladivostok- BKK by one airline Aeroflot, I will check my baggage in at Bangkok airport. After I stay in the airport, I will check in for the flight to Singapore with another airline but on the same day. Do I need to fill in the TDAC in this case?

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,

Hello, Admin. If a foreigner is in Thailand and has not yet exited the country, how should they fill it out? Or can they fill it out in advance?
0
AnonymousAnonymousApril 28th, 2025 4:29 PM
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.

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.

Please suggest a solution for the same.

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.
