Bye-bye Kartu Manual, Hello Thailand Digital Arrival Card!
Planning a Vacation to Thailand? Don't forget to fill out TDAC!
Starting May 1, 2025, the process of entering Thailand will be easier and more efficient! The Thai government is now implementing the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) as a replacement for the paper-based arrival form (TM.6). TDAC is mandatory to be filled out online by all tourists entering Thailand by air, land, or sea.
What is TDAC?
TDAC is a digital arrival form designed to speed up the immigration process and replace manual filling. With this system, you just need to fill out the form from anywhere, then show it confirmation when you arrive in Thailand. Simple, right?
The following are the provisions regarding the implementation of TDAC:
- Effective May 1, 2025, all non-Thai nationals entering Thailand by air, land, or sea must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online prior to arrival.
- The TDAC can be submitted up to three days before the travel date. For example, if a passenger is scheduled to arrive in Thailand on May 1, 2025, the TDAC form may be completed as early as April 28, 2025 until the arrival day.
- The TDAC system is integrated with APPS, ABC, and Biometric Systems to improve the efficiency of immigration procedures at Thailand's entry points.
- The digital TDAC replaces the paper-based TM.6 arrival card.
