Starting 1 May 2025, the Royal Thai Government (the Immigration Bureau), will introduce an electronic arrival card, which will be known as the ‘Thailand Digital Arrival Card,’ or TDAC. This will replace the traditional disembarkation, or ‘TM. 6’ card.
It will be required for all foreigners entering Thailand through all channels of transport; land, water, and air. Registration can be completed online via the website tdac.immigration.go.th.
The TDAC can be completed up to three days prior to the date of arrival in Thailand. The system will request information including; Passport or Travel Document, personal details, travel details, accommodation in Thailand, and health details. Those from points of origin designated as high-risk areas by the Ministry of Public Health, within the previous 14-day period, may be asked to supply more information. Once submitted, the TDAC may be downloaded, or the confirmation received through the specified email address, can be used to present to the immigration officer upon arrival in Thailand. Applications can be edited, and submissions can also be made as a group.
The TDAC is not a visa but a digital entry card. Thai nationals are not required to complete the TDAC upon return to Thailand.
