The TDAC system aims to:

✅ Simplify immigration entry for tourists and travelers
✅ Reduce wait times and congestion at airports and land borders
✅ Enhance security and improve visitor tracking
✅ Integrate with Thailand’s digital systems, including e-visas and tourist fee collection
✅ Promote a paperless, eco-friendly travel process
This transition aligns with Thailand’s goal of modernizing travel procedures and improving data collection for tourism management.

✅ All foreign travelers, regardless of visa status, MUST complete the TDAC before entering Thailand
✅ Includes travelers from visa-exempt countries such as Singapore, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam
✅ Thai passport holders are EXEMPT
If you fail to submit the TDAC in advance, you can complete it at self-service kiosks upon arrival. However, advance submission is highly recommended to avoid long queues.

Online Submission (Recommended)

🔹 Access the official Thai Immigration website or mobile app
🔹 Fill in your details before departure
🔹 Submit the form and receive a confirmation code

On-Arrival Submission (Alternative)

🔹 Use self-service kiosks at immigration counters
🔹 Input the required travel details
🔹 Proceed through immigration clearance

Submitting the TDAC in advance speeds up the immigration process and ensures a hassle-free entry into Thailand.

When filling out the TDAC, you must provide:

📌 Personal Details: Full name, nationality, gender, date of birth, passport number
📌 Travel Details: Flight number, vehicle details (for land/sea), port of entry, and purpose of visit
📌 Accommodation: Hotel or residence address in Thailand
📌 Contact Details: Active mobile number and email address

The system automatically generates a departure card, using your arrival details. You only need to update your exit flight or departure details when leaving Thailand.

✅ Benefits of TDAC

• Faster immigration clearance
• No more paper forms—fully digital process
• Better travel security with integrated visitor tracking
• Seamless entry experience, especially for frequent travelers

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

• TDAC is mandatory from May 1, 2025—you CANNOT enter Thailand without it
• Ensure your details are accurate—errors can cause entry delays
• Last-minute completion at kiosks is available, but longer processing times may occur

If you forget to complete the TDAC before arrival, Thai immigration officers will assist you in filling out the form.

The TDAC system is part of a larger digital transformation in Thailand’s immigration and tourism sectors. It is connected to:

📌 Thailand’s E-Visa system
📌 Disease control and health screening databases
📌 Tourist fee collection systems (300 Baht fee implementation may be postponed)

This ensures that Thailand maintains efficient, secure, and visitor-friendly immigration policies.

To ensure global accessibility, the TDAC guidelines are available in five major languages:

🌍 English, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and Japanese

Thai Immigration has launched awareness campaigns to inform international travelers about this new digital entry requirement.

1️⃣ Visit the official Thai Immigration website or app
2️⃣ Fill out the TDAC form online before traveling
3️⃣ Save the confirmation number for reference
4️⃣ Have the details ready upon arrival (if using self-service kiosks)
Failing to comply with the TDAC requirement may cause entry delays.

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is a mandatory requirement for all foreign travelers entering Thailand from May 1, 2025. It replaces the previous TM6 form, offering a streamlined, digital immigration process.
