Discover everything you need to know about Thailand's Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) - the modern, digital alternative to the traditional TM6 arrival card for all foreign travelers entering Thailand.
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is a new digital system that replaces the traditional paper TM6 immigration form for all foreign nationals visiting Thailand. It is an online form that must be submitted before arrival, streamlining the entry process and enhancing the travel experience for visitors to Thailand.
Introduced on May 1, 2025, the TDAC system digitizes the information collection previously done using paper forms, allowing foreign nationals to submit their entry information online. The system is designed to enhance efficiency at immigration checkpoints and improve border security while facilitating a smoother entry experience for millions of tourists arriving each year.

Travelers can choose between individual submission for solo travelers or group submission for families or groups.
