About the Thailand Digital Arrival Card

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is an electronic travel document that is mandatory for all foreign visitors entering the Kingdom of Thailand. You must hold an approved card to pass through immigration successfully.

The TDAC replaces the traditional paper TM6 immigration form. There is no longer a need for a physical document — the entire process is completed digitally before you travel. The card collects key information about each visitor, supporting the safety of both passengers and Thai residents.

All non-Thai nationalities must have an approved Thailand Digital Arrival Card. The only exception is for Thai passport holders.
