Effective May 1, 2025, all non-Thai nationals entering Thailand by air, land, or sea are required to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online prior to arrival. This digital system replaces the traditional paper-based TM6 form, aiming to enhance security, streamline immigration procedures, and support public health management.(Tourism Authority of Thailand, Airports of Thailand)

All foreign nationals, regardless of visa type or duration of stay, must complete the TDAC before entering Thailand. Exceptions include travelers transiting through Thailand without passing through immigration control and those entering using a Border Pass
