What is Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)?
Who Must Submit a TDAC?
All foreigners entering Thailand are required to submit the Thailand Digital Arrival Card before their arrival, with the following exceptions:
- Foreigners transiting or transferring in Thailand without going through immigration control
- Foreigners entering Thailand using a Border Pass
When to Submit Your TDAC
Foreigners should submit their arrival card information within 3 days before arriving in Thailand, including the date of arrival. This allows sufficient time for processing and verification of the information provided.
How Does the TDAC System Work?
The TDAC system streamlines the entry process by digitizing the information collection that was previously done using paper forms. To submit the Digital Arrival Card, foreigners can access the Immigration Bureau website at http://tdac.immigration.go.th. The system offers two submission options:
- Individual submission – For solo travelers
- Group submission – For families or groups traveling together
Submitted information can be updated anytime before travel, giving travelers flexibility to make changes as needed.
