Bangkok, April 2, 2025 – The Immigration Bureau of Thailand, in collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), has officially announced the implementation of the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) – a fully digital entry form system for all foreign nationals entering Thailand. The system will become mandatory starting May 1, 2025, covering entry via air, land, and sea.
This digital transformation is part of the government’s broader initiative to modernize immigration processes, enhance data accuracy, and improve the overall travel experience while supporting Thailand’s sustainability goals.
What is TDAC?
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is a pre-arrival online registration system that replaces the traditional TM6 paper form. All non-Thai travelers must complete the TDAC before arriving in the country.
Registration must be completed via the official website:

Why TDAC Matters
The TDAC is designed to streamline border control processes with a focus on:
Reducing time spent on arrival procedures
Eliminating the need for paper-based forms
Increasing data security and accuracy
Supporting Thailand’s “Smart Destination” policy
Important Reminders
TDAC is compulsory for all foreign visitors from May 1, 2025 onward.
Failure to complete the TDAC prior to arrival may result in entry delays or denied entry.
