Ask questions and get help with Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC).
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.

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.
Hello, we will arrive in Thailand early in the morning on May 2 and leave in the evening for Cambodia. We will have to recheck our luggage in Bangkok traveling on two different airlines. Therefore, we will not have accommodation in Bangkok. How should we fill out the card then? Thank you.
If arrival and departure occur on the same day, you are not required to provide accommodation details, they will automatically check the transit traveler option.
I need a TDAC application to travel for a 3-week vacation to Thailand.
Yes, even if it is for 1 day, you will need to apply for the TDAC.
I need an application for a 3-week vacation to Thailand.
Yes, it is even required if it is for 1 day.
Is this application necessary for a three-week vacation?
Vaccination is only required if you traveled through the listed countries. https://tdac.in.th/#yellow-fever-requirements
I don't have a surname or a last name. What do I input in the field of last name?
What do you use for flight number? I come from Brussels, but via Dubai.
The original flight.
I'm not so sure about that. For the old flight, it had to be the flight number upon arrival in Bangkok. They won't check it anyway.
We, Malaysia, neighbor Thailand, regularly travel to Betong Yale and Danok every Saturday and back on Monday. Please reconsider the 3 days TM 6 application. Hope for a special entryway for Malaysian tourists.
You simply select LAND for "Mode of Travel".
I am a tourist bus driver. Should I fill out the TDAC form with a group of bus passengers, or can I apply individually?
This is unclear still. To play it safe you could do it individually, but the system does allow you to add travelers (not sure if it would allow a whole bus full though)
I’m already in Thailand and arrived yesterday have a tourist visa for 60 days. Want to do a border run in June. How do I apply then in my situation for the Tdac because in Thailand and border run?
You can still fill it out for a Border Run. You simply select LAND for "Mode of Travel".
Excuse me, I would like to ask. The country I am currently residing in does not allow me to select Thailand. Should I choose my country of origin or the last country I stayed in? Because my husband is German, but the last residence was in Belgium. Now that he is retired, he has no other address except Thailand. Thank you.
If the country of residence is Thailand, it is advisable to select Thailand. The problem is that the system does not yet have Thailand in the options, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand has informed that it will be added by April 28.
Thank you very much.
Difficult to read Application Forms - Needs to be darkened for better visibility
My name is Carlos Malaga Swiss nationality living in Bangkok and duly registered in Immigration as Retired. I am not able to enter in "Country of Residence"
Not sure about the Switzerland issue, but the Thailand issue should be fixed by April 28th.

My 7-year-old child holds an Italian passport and is traveling back to Thailand in June with their Thai mother. Do I need to fill out TDAC for my child?
If I have not purchased a return ticket, do I need to fill it out or can I skip it?
Return information is optional.
There is a fundamental flaw in this. For those residing in Thailand, it does NOT give Thailand as an option of Country of Residence
The TAT announced already that this would be fixed by April 28th.
Must one fill out a TDAC with a retirement visa and also with a re-entry?
All expats must do this before coming to Thailand from another country.
Convenient.
Do I need to fill it out twice if I'm coming first to Thailand and then flying to another foreign country and then flying back to Thailand?
Yes, it is required for each entry into Thailand
This is for business people. What about those who need to fly urgently, buy a ticket and fly immediately? They cannot fill out the information 3 days in advance. What should they do? Also, people at home do this often, and they are afraid of flying. Whenever they are ready, they just buy the ticket and fly.
Within 3 days before your travel date, so you can fill it out on the same day as your travel date as well.

WHAT TO DO WHEN ADVISED TO FILL IN THAILAND IN COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE BUT IT IS NOT INTELLIGENTLY SUGGESTED IN THE LIST OF PROPOSED COUNTRIES.....
The TAT announced that Thailand will be available on the list of trial countries when the program launches on April 28.
Does this replace the need to register a TM30?
No, it does not.
What about Thai citizens who have lived outside of Thailand for more than six months and are married to a foreigner? Do they have to register for the TDAC?
Thai citizens do not need to do the TDAC.
I arrive in Bangkok on April 27th. I have domestic flights to Krabi on the 29th and fly to Koh Samui on May 4th. Will I need TDAC because I am flying within Thailand after May 1st?
No, only required if entering Thailand. Domestic travel does not matter.
Domestic flight not, only when you enter Thailand.
I’m going to get there April 30. Do I need to apply TDAC?
No, you do not! It is only for arrivals starting May 1st.
LOL
Please note that instead of SWITZERLAND, the list displays THE SWISS CONFEDERATION, moreover in the list of states ZURICH is missing which prevents me from continuing the process.
Just enter ZUERICH and it works
Thai Privilege (Thai elite) members didn't write anything when entering Thailand. But this time do they also need to fill out this form? If so, it's VERY inconvenient!!!
This is false. Thai Privilege (Thai elite) members did need to fill out TM6 cards when they were previously required. So yes you still need to complete the TDAC even with Thai Elite.
If a hotel was listed on the card, but upon arrival it was changed to another hotel, should it be modified?
Most likely not, as it is related to entering Thailand.
What about the airline details? Should they be entered correctly, or when making them, should we provide only initial information to create the card?
It needs to match when you are entering Thailand. So if hotel or airline charges occur before you have entered, then you must update it. After you have already arrived, it shouldn't matter anymore if you decided to switch hotels.
I'm entering via train, so what should I put under the 'flight/vehicle number' section?
You select Other, and put Train
Hello, I will be traveling back to Thailand in 4 months. I would like to know if my 7-year-old child holding a Swedish passport needs to fill it out as well. And do Thai nationals holding a Thai passport need to fill it out when entering Thailand?
Thai citizens do not need to complete the TDAC, but must include their children in the TDAC.
