The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is an online arrival form, not a visa. All non-Thai nationals passing through immigration must submit it before entering by air, land, or sea.
When to submit
The Immigration Bureau says to submit no more than three days before arrival. The official system is free and accepts individual or group submissions.
What you need
- Passport and personal information
- Arrival date and flight or vehicle details
- Accommodation address in Thailand
- Travel purpose and health declaration information
- Email address for the confirmation and QR code
Transit passengers who do not pass through immigration do not need TDAC. Children do need one; a group submission can include up to ten travellers.
