Thailand arrival card FAQs

What travellers commonly ask about the Thailand arrival card.

Still have questions?Our travel-document team answers by email and phone.
Is the Thailand Digital Arrival Card a visa?

No, the Thailand Digital Arrival Card and the Thailand visa are different documents that must be applied for separately. While TDAC is obligatory for all foreigners, a visa is required for certain nationalities.

Do I need the TDAC to transit?

The Thailand Arrival Card must be completed by the transit passengers who plan to leave the airport. If you're not passing through immigration, it isn’t mandatory.

Do children need the Thailand Digital Arrival Card?

Yes, all children and infants must have a separate TDAC. The form should be completed by a parent or guardian.

How can I check my TDAC status?

You can review the current status of your Thailand Digital Arrival Card online by using the checker on the Passporta website.

Do I need to print my Arrival Card for Thailand?

While a printout is not mandatory, we highly recommend preparing one, as it may be helpful if issues arise with your electronic copy.

How will I receive my TDAC?

Once approved, your Digital Arrival Card for Thailand will be sent to the email address specified in your application form.

Can I work in Thailand with the Thailand Digital Arrival Card?

The TDAC doesn’t allow employment on its own. Foreigners willing to work in Thailand must get an appropriate visa and work permit.

What should I do if I make an error on the TDAC form?

If you realize there is an error in your details, please contact our support team as soon as possible. Be especially careful when typing your name – this data cannot be changed once the form is processed.
