Introduction to the Thailand Digital Arrival Card

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is an online form that has replaced the paper-based TM6 arrival card. It provides convenience for all foreigners entering Thailand by air, land, or sea. The TDAC is used to submit entry information and health declaration details before arriving in the country, as authorized by the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand.

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.

TDAC Application Process

The application process for the TDAC is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly. Here are the basic steps to follow:

  1. Visit the official TDAC website at http://tdac.immigration.go.th
  2. Choose between individual or group submission
  3. Complete the required information in all sections:
    • Personal Information
    • Trip & Accommodation Information
    • Health Declaration
  4. Submit your application
  5. Save or print your confirmation for reference

  • Ability to update information before travel
  • Enhanced data accuracy and security
  • Improved tracking capabilities for public health purposes

While the TDAC system offers many benefits, there are some limitations to be aware of:

  • Once submitted, certain key information cannot be updated, including:
    • Full Name (as it appears in passport)
    • Passport Number
    • Nationality/Citizenship

Health Declaration Requirements

As part of the TDAC, travelers must complete a health declaration that includes: This includes Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate for travelers from affected countries.

  • List of countries visited within two weeks before arrival
  • Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate status (if required)
  • Declaration of any symptoms experienced in the past two weeks, including:
    • Diarrhea

Important: If you declare any symptoms, you may be required to proceed to the Department of Disease Control counter before entering the immigration checkpoint.

Yellow Fever Vaccination Requirements

The Ministry of Public Health has issued regulations that applicants who have travelled from or through countries declared as Yellow Fever Infected Areas must provide an International Health Certificate proving they have received a Yellow Fever vaccination.

The International Health Certificate must be submitted together with the visa application form. The traveller will also have to present the certificate to the Immigration Officer upon arrival at the port of entry in Thailand.

Nationals of the countries listed below who have not travelled from/through those countries do not require this certificate. However, they should possess concrete evidence showing that their domicile is not in an infected area to prevent unnecessary inconvenience.

Hello. Myanmar crew members need a Transit Visa to board in Bangkok. The fee is US$35.

This matter is not related to TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card). TDAC is not required for crew members.

You must apply for a visa at the Thai embassy. You can contact them for assistance.

In your situation, your second flight likely has a different flight number. Because of this, you will need to select China and the corresponding flight number for your TDAC as the country of departure.

For TDAC, if you are Thai but enter the country using a UK passport, you will need to fill out TDAC for the same reason you will receive a visa stamp.

It is fine if there are repeated names of areas or sub-areas in the hotel address. As long as the complete address and postal code are correct and consistent with the actual location of the hotel, it will not cause any issues with the TDAC application.

International students holding a student visa are going to Malaysia for a holiday on the 21st and will return to Thailand to continue working. However, the system requires them to fill in the return flight details after completing their internship (in July), but since that is still a long way off, they haven't booked a return ticket yet. What should they do?

0
AnonymousAnonymousMay 23rd, 2025 9:18 PM

For the information on the departure date from Thailand in the TDAC form, it is not necessary to fill it out if the student has accommodation in Thailand and will stay for more than 1 day.

The departure date information only needs to be filled out if the student does not have accommodation information in Thailand, such as if it is a transit flight or if they are only staying for 1 day.

Therefore, if they do not have plans to book a return ticket at the end of the internship, they can leave the departure date blank without any issues.
