What the Thailand TDAC is, in 30 seconds

The Thailand TDAC (Digital Arrival Card) is Thailand's mandatory digital arrival card, a visa-free entry requirement for all non-Thai nationals. Complete your Thailand TDAC application online before departure and receive your QR code, ready to show at immigration.

What you'll need

Passport details, travel details including arrival flight and date, accommodation address in Thailand, purpose of travel, and valid email address to receive your TDAC and QR code.

Processing time
Usually instant. Your TDAC and QR code are generated immediately after submission.
Validity
Valid until you arrive in Thailand for the arrival date on the TDAC.
Entries
Single entry, one-time use. Submit a new TDAC for each entry into Thailand.
At the border
Show the downloaded TDAC with QR code from your device or email to immigration at the entry checkpoint; printing is optional but recommended as backup.

Four steps, and you know all four

Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.

  1. 01

    Your trip

    When you arrive and leave, and where to email the TDAC.

  2. 02

    Your travelers

    Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.

  3. 03

    Review and pay

    Choose your review speed. Every line itemized before you pay a cent.

  4. 04

    After payment

    Arrival details

    After payment

    Airline, flight number and your address in Thailand. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.

What it costs

The application is $99.99 per traveler, charged for at most 2 travelers. That covers a 2 hours review by a person. Faster review is optional, priced below, and never pre-selected.

  • Service fee

    $99.99

    per traveler, and never for more than 2. A party of 4 pays the same service fee as a party of 2.

  • Government fee

    None

    Thailand charges nothing for the TDAC, so the service fee is the whole bill.

  • Review and submission

    2 hours

    Included in the price. A person checks every answer, then submits it. If Thailand is not accepting submissions for your dates yet, we submit within that time of its window opening, and checkout shows you the date before you pay.

2 travelers is $99.99 × 2 = $199.98, and so is 4: the service fee stops at 2 travelers and Thailand charges nothing on top. Faster review is optional and priced below. Every line is itemized before you pay.

Review and submission speed

Every application is checked by a person before it is submitted. Standard is included in the price above. Two faster options are available at checkout, and neither is pre-selected.

  • Standard

    2 hours

    Included in the price above

  • Fast

    1 hour

    +$10.00 per application

  • Ultra Fast

    15 minutes

    +$20.00 per application

Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. If Thailand is not accepting the TDAC for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens; checkout shows you that date before you pay. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.

What $99.99 adds

Someone else carries it

  • An AI checks every answer against Thailand's rules, then a person reviews it before it goes in.
  • Apply today, whenever your trip is. We submit on the day the window opens.
  • If Thailand's portal is down or rejects the submission, we keep trying until it goes through.
  • Passport scanning, real-time validation, and a human on chat if it snags.
  • A family of four is one form and one review, not four attempts.

Doing it yourself

tdac.immigration.go.th (free)

  • The official portal, in your own time. It works.
  • The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
  • You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
  • A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
  • Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.

Who needs one

Every foreign national entering Thailand, whatever your passport. Find yours below.

The questions people actually ask

Yes. The official portal is tdac.immigration.go.th and it costs nothing. We are a paid service: we fill the form in with you, check it against Thailand's rules, submit it on the day the window opens, and keep a human on chat if anything snags. If you would rather do that yourself, do. The link is on this page.
