Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nikorndej Balankura, said the TDAC, an electronic arrival card, will replace the disembarkation card, also known as the TM6 card.
He explained that the TDAC system has been developed to facilitate the entry of foreign travellers by employing modern, smart travel technology that is both fast and secure.
“This will support other critical purposes, such as public health monitoring. The TDAC can be completed up to three days prior to the date of arrival in Thailand, and the system requires information such as passport or travel document details, personal information, travel details, accommodation in Thailand, and health information,” he said at a media briefing on Thursday.
However, Thailand has suspended the requirement for foreign travellers arriving by air to complete the TM6 card since July 2022, while those entering via 16 land and sea checkpoints are exempt until April 30, 2025.
He emphasised that once submitted, the TDAC can be downloaded or a confirmation email received, which can then be presented to immigration officials upon arrival in Thailand.
He noted that exemptions to the TDAC requirement include individuals covered under Section 15 of the Immigration Act, such as diplomatic, consular, and international organisation officials, their spouses, dependants, and domestic staff, as well as foreign officials travelling on assignment in Thailand.
“As a practical measure, foreign nationals arriving in Thailand on May 1 can access the TDAC system from April 28 onwards,” he said.’
