The New TDAC Immigration Document 

TDAC serves as Thailand’s mandatory immigration documentation that all international visitors must complete before presenting themselves at border control upon arrival. This official document ensures proper entry processing for every foreign traveler entering the Kingdom of Thailand. 

Travelers to Thailand must present their approved Digital Arrival Form at the ports of entry. Copies of the application are available at the immigration desks positioned before the passport control area at Thai airports. 

However, to avoid long lines for completing and presenting your entry permit, feel free to complete the application online and to receive your approved TDAC directly to your email. 

Once received, you can print a hard copy or just keep the file in your mobile and present it upon request.

This ensures Thai immigration authorities have accurate, up-to-date information for each entry into the country.
