Announcement: Mandatory Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) for All Foreign Travelers

Effective May 1, 2025, all non-Thai nationals entering Thailand by air, land, or sea are required to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online prior to arrival. This digital system replaces the traditional paper-based TM6 form, aiming to enhance security, streamline immigration procedures, and support public health management.(Tourism Authority of Thailand, Airports of Thailand)
