Here you’ll learn what the TDAC is, how your clients can complete it and what travellers need to prepare for a smooth arrival.
The TDAC will replace the familiar paper-based TM6 arrival card, bringing Thailand’s entry procedures into a fully digital process. The goal is to simplify the traveller’s journey, speed up the immigration process and reduce congestion at airports and checkpoints. All travellers arriving by air, land or sea must complete this simple digital registration prior to their arrival.
To help your clients enjoy a smooth arrival experience, here’s a concise guide on what you and your clients should know:
How to Complete the TDAC:
- Register Online: Travellers should access the official TDAC website to complete their digital registration easily from their mobile, tablet or computer.
- Gather Necessary Information: To complete the form smoothly, ensure travellers have their:
- Passport
- Travel itinerary details (flight number or vehicle information)
- Duration of their stay
- Accommodation address in Thailand.
- Save the Confirmation: After submitting the form, travellers will receive a confirmation, usually a QR code or a unique reference number, that must be shown at immigration upon arrival.
When to Submit: The TDAC form can be filled out starting three days before the date of arrival.
What if the TDAC isn’t completed before arrival?
Travellers who haven’t completed the TDAC prior to arrival and are unable to access the internet at the border can receive support at designated assistance points within immigration areas. However, this service is intended for exceptional cases only. To ensure a smooth arrival and minimise wait times, all travellers are strongly advised to complete the TDAC online before travelling.
Helpful Tips for a Hassle Free Arrival:
- Encourage clients to gather all required travel documents and details in advance.
- Remind clients to complete the TDAC form as soon as the three-day submission window opens before travel.
- Advise them to save the digital confirmation to their phone or print it out, ensuring easy access when they reach immigration checkpoints.
