TDAC is an electronic migration card in which the traveler indicates:

· information about yourself;

· passport details;

· date of arrival;

· flight or route;

· residential address in Thailand;

· purpose of visit;

· contact phone number and email;

· basic information required by the immigration service.

The TDAC is submitted electronically in advance of arrival in the country. This expedites passport control, reduces the workload at immigration posts, and reduces queues at airports.

How to fill out

The TDAC is completed online using an electronic form. The process is simple, but requires attention to detail.

Filling stages:

1. Enter your personal information

First name, last name, date of birth, nationality, gender, passport number and its expiration date.

2. Please provide your travel details

Includes flight number, departure and arrival airport, and arrival date.

3. Add your stay details

First residential address: hotel, apartment, guest house.

You must provide the name, address, district, and booking number (if any).

4. Select the purpose of your visit

Tourism, transit, visiting friends, business (without work), others.

5. Contact information

Phone number (foreign is acceptable), email.

6. Answers to standard questions

On the presence of prohibited items, weapons, agricultural products, medicines in excess of standards, and currencies.

7. Confirmation and sending

Once the form is verified, the data is sent to the immigration system.

After submitting the TDAC, the traveler receives a digital confirmation that must be saved on their phone. They may be asked to show it at the airport, especially if the passenger passes through the “green channel.”

When to fill out

It is recommended to complete the TDAC72—48 hours before arrivalto Thailand.

Why is that so:

· the system must have time to process the data;

· If sent too early, the information may become outdated;

· If you submit your application too late, there may be delays at passport control.

Some airlines recommend completing the TDAC before boarding or the day before departure.

Important: The TDAC does not replace a visa. It simply expedites passport control.
