Thailand is set to implement a mandatory Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) for all foreign visitors, including those from visa-exempt countries, starting May 1, 2025. This new system requires travelers to submit their arrival information online no more than three days before their arrival in Thailand through the official Thai Immigration website or the TDAC mobile application. The TDAC system will replace the traditional TM6 paper form, which has been suspended for air travelers since July 2022.
My Insight: This is a positive step towards modernizing and streamlining the immigration process, making it more efficient for both travelers and government agencies.
