Thailand Launches Digital Arrival Card for International Travellers

Thailand, long recognised as one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations, has modernised its entry procedures with the introduction of the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). This innovative, paperless system replaces the traditional arrival card and is now a requirement for all foreign nationals entering the country.

The move is part of Thailand’s broader commitment to enhancing its travel infrastructure, offering visitors a more seamless and secure immigration experience while reducing reliance on physical paperwork.

What is the Thailand Digital Arrival Card?

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is the electronic version of the former paper-based disembarkation card. All non-Thai travellers must now complete this digital form prior to entering Thailand. It serves as an official record of entry and provides essential information directly to immigration authorities.

This transition is designed to streamline border control processes, improve efficiency, and strengthen national security measures—aligning Thailand with modern global travel standards.

Why Use the TDAC?

Apart from being mandatory for all foreign travellers entering Thailand, the TDAC offers several important advantages that help make your journey smoother and more efficient:

• Faster Immigration Clearance
  Passengers can enjoy quicker processing upon arrival at Thai airports.
• Reduced Paperwork
  The online system eliminates the need to fill out forms on the plane or in queues.
• Greater Data Accuracy
  Digital submissions reduce manual errors and help authorities process arrivals more effectively.
• Eco-Friendly Solution
  A step towards more sustainable and environmentally conscious travel practices.

How to Complete Your Digital Arrival Card

All travellers are advised to complete the TDAC within three (3) days before their arrival in Thailand. Follow these simple steps:

1. Log In to the Portal

Visit https://tdac.immigration.go.th or scan the official QR code to access the registration form.

2. Complete Registration. Fill in your personal and travel information, including:

• Full name, nationality, email address, phone number, and passport details
• Flight number, purpose of travel, and address in Thailand (such as hotel or residential address)

3. Submit the Form

After completing the form, you will receive an acknowledgement email at the address you provided. Keep this for your records.

4. Present at Immigration

Upon arrival in Thailand, show your acknowledgement email along with your passport and travel documents to the immigration officer for verification.
