Thailand Mandates Digital Arrival Cards for All Foreign Travelers
Starting May 1st, if you're not Thai and visiting Thailand, you'll need a special digital card.
Before you arrive, you must fill out the card online, at least three days ahead.
The card asks for your name, passport info, where you're staying, and if you're feeling sick.
Once you submit, you get a digital card to show at the border.
If you're staying longer than three months, you must also let the authorities know where you live every three months.
Thailand will require all non-Thai nationals to submit a Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering the country.
The TDAC must be completed online, 72 hours prior to arrival by land, air or sea.
The form requires personal information, travel details, and health status.
Upon submission, a digital card is generated and must be presented at immigration.
Those staying over 90 days must notify immigration of their place of stay every 90 days.
