Thailand Digital Arrival Card for Malaysian travelers: Avoid delays with this quick guide

Malaysian citizens entering Thailand are now required to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before they travel. Whether it’s a weekend escape or a family visit, this is a mandatory step that must be done online.

Our platform simplifies this process so you won’t waste time dealing with unclear forms or technical issues on government websites.

What is the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)?

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is a mandatory digital immigration form that has replaced the former TM6 paper card. It collects your travel and personal details and must be completed before entering Thailand.

Once submitted, your TDAC is valid for a single entry and will be sent to your email. You’ll need to show it at immigration when you arrive in Thailand.

Thailand Digital Arrival Card requirements for Malaysian travelers

1. A valid Malaysian passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date. Be careful to enter your passport number exactly as it appears.

2. Personal details: Your full name, nationality, phone number, and email address.

3. Travel plans: This includes your arrival and departure dates, how you’re entering Thailand (such as by plane or car), your flight or vehicle number, and your reason for travel.

4. Accommodation in Thailand: You must provide the full address of where you’ll be staying. This can be a hotel, apartment, or guesthouse.

5. Health declarations (if needed): Depending on where you’ve been before arriving in Thailand, you may be asked to show proof of certain vaccinations, such as yellow fever.

How to apply for the Thailand Digital Arrival Card as a Malaysian traveler

What Malaysian travelers should know before submitting the TDAC

You can update specific details after submitting your TDAC, such as your arrival date or accommodation. But if there’s an error in your name, passport number, nationality, or date of birth, you’ll need to submit a new form. These fields cannot be changed once submitted.
