Thailand TDAC questions, answered
Clear answers to the questions travellers most often ask before completing their arrival card.
Before you start, here are the essentials.
Is TDAC a visa?
No. TDAC is an arrival card, not a visa. Visa eligibility and entry permission are separate matters.
What is the TDAC service?
Travel Apply Now is a separate private assistance service with its own fee shown before payment.
When can I submit TDAC?
The current official guide says the arrival-card information can be submitted within 3 days before arrival, including the arrival date.
Do children need TDAC?
Yes. The official guidance says children and infants are included where the TDAC requirement applies.
Can my family submit together?
Yes. The official system supports group submissions of up to 10 travellers.
What information do I need?
Passport details, personal information, travel information, Thailand accommodation information and relevant health declaration information.
What if I make a mistake?
The official update function has limits. Full name, nationality/citizenship and date of birth cannot be updated after submission, so review these carefully.
