The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), also known as online TM6 form, is available to fill online from 1 April 2025. From 1 April 2025 to 30 April 2025, it is optional to fill in the TDAC within three days before arrival in Thailand. From 1 May 2025, it will be compulsory to fill in the form three days before departure to any Thailand airport or port.
The address of the TDAC is https://tdac.immigration.go.th.
Note that on the online TM6 form, the purpose of travel is to be declared. The options are Holiday/Meeting/Sports/Business/Incentive/Medical & Wellness/Convention/Employment/Exhibition/Others (Please Specify).
On the accommodation information section, the province, district area, sub-district and sub-area of the hotel or other forms of accommodation must be selected. The postal code has been filled by default after the district is selected from a list of options.
If the traveller entering Thailand is on transit and does not stay in Thailand, the Thailand accomodation details can be omitted.
After completing the accomodation details if any, the entrant is free to edit the information, delete to remove entries or select "Submit" when the information is complete and correct.
Under the Health Declaration section, there is no need to indicate whether the traveller has rash, cough or other symptoms of infectious diseases such as covid and smallpox. It only indicates the entrants are assumed and have to be vaccinated before entering Thailand.
The reporter submits the TDAC as a test and an email of TDAC submission acknowledgment with the QR code is received. Print the email to enter Thailand.
The TDAC is only available in English and the reporter believes non-English travellers will find it difficult or impossible to complete. Chinese-speaking travellers, for instance, may choose to visit other countries instead, thus lowering the number of Chinese arrivals in Thailand.
