Thailand Makes Digital Arrival Card Mandatory

As of May 1, 2025, Thailand has replaced the old TM6 paper arrival card with the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC).

All travelers, including expats, must now complete the form online within 72 hours before arrival. Officials say the move will speed up airport processing and improve data accuracy.

⚠️ Important for Expats: Beware of scam websites—TDAC is free via the official government portal. Failure to complete the form could cause delays or denial of entry.

This shift marks a step toward fully digital immigration services in Thailand
