TDAC Frequently Asked Questions
When should I fill out TDAC?
Complete TDAC within 72 hours before your arrival in Thailand. We recommend doing it 24-48 hours before departure to avoid last-minute stress.
Is TDAC free?
Yes, TDAC is completely free on the official government website. Any site asking for payment is a scam — do not pay!
What if I forget to fill out TDAC?
You can fill it out at the airport using airport WiFi, but this will cause delays. Immigration may also have kiosks available, but expect longer queues. Always fill it out before your flight.
Do children need TDAC?
Yes, every traveler including children needs their own TDAC submission. Parents can fill it out on behalf of minors using the same device.
Can I edit TDAC after submission?
You cannot edit after submission. If you made a mistake, you'll need to submit a new form with correct information. The system will use your latest submission.
Do I need TDAC for domestic flights in Thailand?
No, TDAC is only required for international arrivals. Domestic flights within Thailand (Bangkok to Phuket, etc.) do not require TDAC.
What documents do I need to fill TDAC?
- Valid passport
- Flight booking confirmation (for flight number)
- Hotel or accommodation address in Thailand
- Email address
How long is TDAC valid?
TDAC is valid for the specific arrival date you entered. If your flight is rescheduled to a different day, you need to fill out a new form.
