Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC): official form and current rules
Use only the Immigration Bureau's official domain. TDAC is an arrival-card process, not a visa or admission guarantee; timing, exceptions and update rules belong to the current official manual and FAQ.
TDAC is the online arrival card, not a visa
The Thailand Immigration Bureau manual describes TDAC as the online arrival-card system replacing the paper arrival card and states that it is not a visa. Visa eligibility and admission remain separate decisions.
Evidence: Thailand Immigration Bureau TDAC manual
Source scope: Official arrival-card process; not a visa, eligibility decision or promise of admission.
The system covers foreign arrivals by air, land and sea, with exceptions
The official manual describes TDAC for foreign nationals entering by air, land or sea. The current FAQ separately addresses transit, technical landings and crew, so do not simplify the rule to 'everyone'.
Evidence: Thailand Immigration Bureau TDAC FAQ
Source scope: Current Immigration FAQ controls exceptions; an individual traveler must check the live text.
The current submission window is three days including arrival day
The official FAQ checked on 24 August 2026 says TDAC may be submitted within three days before arrival, including the arrival date. This timing is operational and must be rechecked immediately before travel.
Evidence: Thailand Immigration Bureau TDAC FAQ
Source scope: Current timing instruction as checked; revalidate within seven days and immediately before travel.
The official service currently identifies no fee
The Immigration Bureau's official application service currently states that TDAC submission has no fee. Use the exact tdac.immigration.go.th domain; this does not endorse or require a third-party assistance service.
Evidence: Official TDAC application
Source scope: Official application service and current fee statement; the root may redirect within the same official domain.
The form flow currently requests trip-specific information
The official manual describes passport, personal, journey, Thailand accommodation and conditional health information, followed by delivery through the submitted email. The exact fields and update flow can change.
Evidence: Thailand Immigration Bureau TDAC manual
Source scope: Current official form-flow description; do not send personal information to EnjoyThailand.
