From 1 May 2025, all international visitors are asked to submit the newly launched Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) at least three days before their arrival date, to ensure a smooth and convenient immigration process. Completion of the TDAC is mandatory for all foreign passport holders, regardless of the purpose of their visit, and exceptions only apply to travellers transiting through Thailand without passing an immigration point. Filling out the form is a straightforward process and you will need to include some information on your travel documents, accommodation in Thailand and a basic health declaration. You can fill out your form here.
In Thailand, we believe that diversity is amazing.
