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?

AnonymousAnonymousApril 20th, 2025 8:54 AM
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?

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”.

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 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?
0
AnonymousAnonymousApril 16th, 2025 2:29 PM
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.

If the country of residence is Thailand, it is advisable to select Thailand.
