Frequently Asked Questions

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), also searched as the "Thailand arrival card," is Thailand's official online entry declaration that replaced the paper TM6 form on 1 May 2025. A few key things:

• Mandatory for all foreign travelers (air, land, or sea), complete your Thailand Digital Arrival Card online before you go.
• You submit passport, travel, accommodation, and health details, then get a QR code by email to show at immigration.
• It's not a visa and is single-use (a new TDAC for every trip). The form is free on the official portal; we complete and error-check your TDAC application for you. Apply now
Yes, the TDAC is mandatory for every nationality, including UK citizens, regardless of visa type. Worth knowing:

• Visa-free entry ≠ card-free: every traveler still needs a Thailand arrival card, and a fresh TDAC for each entry.
• Everyone needs their own, including children, and it's required at all entry points (air, land, sea).
• Skip it and you'll queue at an airport kiosk on arrival — and some airlines check before boarding, so apply online in advance. Apply now
The guided TDAC application takes about 5 minutes online and can only be submitted within 72 hours (3 days) of arrival. After you apply:

• We check every field against your passport, file it, and email your QR code, typically within hours.
• Apply as soon as the 72-hour window opens, so there's time to fix any detail before you fly.
• Do it on your phone; just show the QR code at immigration (keep a screenshot as backup). Apply now
Yes, you can file for your partner, children, and companions in one TDAC application, and a single fee covers your whole party. Note:

• It's faster than completing each Thailand arrival card separately on the government site, with no per-person charge.
• Everyone, including infants, gets their own QR code, shown individually at immigration.
• Have each traveler's passport and your shared accommodation details ready; we can resend any lost QR code.

The TDAC isn't approved or denied like a visa, the real risk is a data error that holds you up at immigration. The usual culprits:

• A name that doesn't match the passport MRZ, a wrong passport number, under-6-months validity, or a city instead of a full address.
• Meeting these Thailand arrival card requirements is our job: we check every field before filing and fix or resubmit if needed.
• Some details can be updated before arrival, lost QR codes are resent, and your data is encrypted and never sold. Apply now
