The Thailand Digital Arrival Card, also known as TDAC, has been introduced by the Thai government in May 2025.

As of 2025, all visitors from visa-exempt countries now need to follow a quick and simple online application process to gain authorization to enter the country. The travel document they receive digitally is what is known as the TDAC.

Short-term travelers (up to 60 days) from eligible countries require a TDAC. The countries eligible for the Thailand Arrival Card are the same ones which prior to 2025 did not require a TDAC to enter Thailand.

The full list of visa-exempt countries can be found here. If your country of citizenship appears on this list, you will be required to fill out the TDAC form and await approval before you depart.

Yes. All travelers need to have the appropriate approval and documentation before they enter, from newborn babies to senior citizens.

Receiving TDAC authorization allows you to travel to Thailand if your passport is from a visa-exempt country. It permits a stay of up to 60 days. If you plan to stay longer, you must request an extension.

For short-term study programs (up to 60 days), you can apply for a TDAC. For longer study durations, a student visa is required.

You can stay up to 60 days in Thailand with an approved Thailand Digital Arrival Card.
