Arrival paperwork
Thailand Digital Arrival Card
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is an arrival-information requirement administered through the Thai Immigration Bureau. It is separate from a visa, visa exemption, Visa on Arrival, or eVisa application.
TDAC is arrival paperwork—not a visa.
TDAC essentials
The live TDAC service provides the current form and submission instructions.
| Question | What the official rules establish | What you must verify |
|---|---|---|
| Who must submit? | The official portal notice states that all passengers must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card. | Follow any official exception or special instruction shown for your travel document. |
| When? | The portal instructs foreign travellers to submit arrival information three days in advance of arrival. | Count from the arrival date shown in your itinerary and follow the current submission instructions. |
| What is it? | A digital arrival declaration for immigration information. | It does not replace a visa or grant permission to work or enter. |
| Does it cost money? | Follow the current TDAC service notice before submitting. | Avoid unofficial payment pages or intermediaries that imitate the government form. |
What information to have ready
Complete the form from your passport and itinerary. Have your travel-document details, arrival information, intended address or accommodation in Thailand, and the other fields requested by the live portal available before you begin. Enter names and numbers exactly as they appear in the travel document.
If your itinerary or accommodation changes, use the portal’s update function where available and follow the current user instructions. Save the confirmation or reference shown after submission.
