Starting May 1, all international visitors traveling to Thailand must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entry. This new online system replaces the traditional arrival/departure card (TM6), streamlining the pre-arrival process for travelers.
Who Needs to Complete the TDAC?
All foreign travelers visiting Thailand, regardless of visa type, must complete the TDAC before arrival. Thai citizens are exempt from this requirement.

The TDAC is Thailand’s new online system for pre-arrival registration. It allows travelers to submit their personal information online before landing, eliminating the need for a paper-based form.
