| Item | Official position |
|---|---|
| What it is | The Thai Immigration Bureau's digital arrival card, replacing the paper TM6 since 1 May 2025; every non-Thai traveller entering by air, land or sea must submit it. It is not a visa. |
| Where | Only tdac.immigration.go.th is official, and it is free (the site title says No Fees Required). The Immigration Bureau has repeatedly warned about look-alike sites that charge. |
| When | Within 3 days before arrival, including the arrival day. |
| Who is exempt | Transit passengers who stay airside without clearing immigration; crew members. |
| Languages | The interface and manual come in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Russian, but every entry must be typed in English. |
| After submitting | The QR code and a PDF are emailed to you and can be downloaded again until departure; show the QR code at immigration. Name, passport number, nationality and date of birth cannot be changed after submission; everything else can be updated, and the latest version counts. |
The eight steps and what each asks
The site runs bot verification, so the form was not read field by field; the table follows the official manual and FAQ.
| Step on the site | What it asks | Card field |
|---|---|---|
| Steps 1 to 2 · Personal and passport details | Name, sex, nationality, date of birth, passport number, issuing country and so on; a passport-extract button reads the machine-readable zone or an uploaded passport image. | Whole passport section |
| Step 3 · Trip and accommodation | Flight number, arrival date, purpose of travel and your address in Thailand (up to 215 characters: hotel, street, district, province, postcode). Lists auto-complete after the first three letters. | Trip, purpose of entry |
| Step 4 · Health declaration | Appears only under conditions set by the Ministry of Public Health (arriving from or via listed countries, listed nationalities or flights); answer as applicable. | — |
| Steps 5 to 8 · Review, email, submit, download | Review, enter the email address to receive the card, accept the terms, submit and download the card. |

Frequently asked questions
01Can a family submit together?
Yes, up to 10 people per submission; travel agencies and group leaders may submit on behalf of travellers.
02What if I have no email?
The system sends the QR code only by email, so you need a working address; at airport kiosks you can photograph the QR code on screen.
03How do I correct a mistake?
Use Update Arrival Card on the home page; the latest update counts. Name, passport number, nationality and date of birth cannot be changed, so those need a fresh submission.
04Will AutoePass submit for me?
No. The bot check, the health declaration, the terms and the submit button are all yours.
