Thailand has rolled out its new Digital Travel Arrival Card (TDAC), an online form that all travellers – yes, even if you’re visa-exempt – now need to complete before arrival.

It replaces the old physical arrival card and you’ll need to show your digital confirmation to immigration officers when you land.

The form needs to be filled out within 72 hours of your arrival and can be submitted either solo or as part of a group if you’re travelling with family or colleagues. It’s quick to complete and available on the Thai Immigration Bureau’s official website.

So, if Thailand is on your radar this summer, make sure you:

  • Fill out your TDAC online within the required timeframe
  • Download or save the confirmation slip for arrival

Keep your documents in order, stay aware of the latest updates and you’ll be all set for a smooth touchdown.
