Complete Thailand Digital Arrival Card fast for Russian citizens

Russian citizens planning to visit Thailand must now complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering the country. This mandatory form is required for all non-Thai nationals, regardless of visa status.

With iVisa, Russian travelers can complete the form in minutes using our simplified application and multilingual support.

What is the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)?

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is a digital immigration form that has replaced the former TM6 paper card. It collects basic details about your identity, trip, and stay.

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

Thailand Digital Arrival Card requirements for Russian travelers

1. A valid Russian 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 Russian citizen

What Russian 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.
