Thailand Digital Arrival Card requirements

All foreign travelers, including those that are visa-exempt for Thailand, must obtain a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering the country by air, land, or sea.

The digital TDAC has officially replaced the former paper TM6 arrival cards, which are no longer used or accepted at any port of entry.

To apply for a Thailand Digital Arrival Card, you typically need the following documents and/or information:

A valid passport (minimum validity: 6 months from arrival)
Flight details (flight number and arrival date)
First-night accommodation address in Thailand (hotel name and street address)
A valid email address

Requirements may vary depending on nationality.

Frequently asked questions about the Thailand Digital Arrival Card

Do I need a Thailand Digital Arrival Card even if I don't need a visa?

Yes. Even if you are from a visa-exempt country (like the US, UK, or Australia), you are still required to complete the Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). It is an administrative requirement for all foreign arrivals to streamline immigration.

Failure to submit the TDAC within the 72-hour window before arrival may result in denied boarding by your airline or significant delays at Thai immigration checkpoints.

How will I receive the Thailand Digital Arrival Card?

Once your application is processed, you will receive an email containing a PDF confirmation and a unique QR code. You do not need a physical sticker; simply show the QR code on your mobile device or a printed copy to the immigration officer upon arrival.

You can also find a copy of your confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if you applied through us.

How long can I stay in Thailand with a TDAC?

The Digital Arrival Card itself does not determine your length of stay; it is an entry registration. Your permitted stay is based on your nationality's rules. Most visa-exempt travelers are currently permitted to stay for up to 60 days per entry. If you wish to stay longer, you must apply for a visa extension at a local Thai immigration office.

When should I apply for the TDAC?

The Thai government requires the card to be submitted within 72 hours (3 days) of your arrival.

With iVisa, you can submit your info even before that; we will automatically queue your application to ensure it is processed and sent to you exactly within that 72-hour window so your registration is valid when you land.

Do children/minors need a Thailand Digital Arrival Card?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and young children, must have their own registered Digital Arrival Card. You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to manage applications for the whole family in a single session.

Do I need the Thailand Digital Arrival Card for transit?

If you are transiting through Thailand and staying within the international transit area (not clearing immigration), you do not need a TDAC. However, if you plan to enter the country—even for a few hours—or if you must clear immigration to collect bags for a self-transfer flight, the card is mandatory.

What are the most common reasons for a Thailand Digital Arrival Card application to be denied?

The most frequent issues are mismatched passport numbers, typos in the name (which must exactly match the machine-readable zone of your passport), or providing an incorrect arrival date. Thai Immigration is strict about these details; iVisa’s review service is designed to catch these errors before submission.

Can I reuse my Thailand Digital Arrival Card?

No. The card is for single entry only. You must complete a new Thailand Digital Arrival Card registration for every entry into the country, regardless of whether you arrive by air, land, or sea.
