Certainly did.

Thank you. That's interesting.

An immigration fine of 2,000 Bath, with receipt, for the late submission of the TM.30 notification is irregular. If your wife still has the receipt, it would interest me to know exactly what reason for the fine is shown, in Thai, on the receipt.

Ok, So, what fields do you have to leave blank and what exactly is stopping you procceeding to the next stage. Sorry but I am interested in understanding the whole process, as I guess many here are.

Leaving any required field stops me from proceeding to the next page. 

Source: https://tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/tac/arrival-card/add

In the example above, I failed to fill in the fields "*City/State of Residence" and "* Phone No.", then clicked on the button "Continue" and got the pop-up message "No data or Insufficient data"

Regarding your question "what fields do you have to leave blank", the answer is "none, but I am free to leave any and all fields without a red asterisk blank.

As another member has suggested, the TDAC site is already up and running for you to try it out, even if you do not intend to arrive in Thailand within the next three days.

Tell them what they want to know. No need to skip anything. Just put in the information that is asked for on the form and you shouldn't (but obviouisly not gauranteed) have any problems.

Your choice of the terms "What they want to know"  and "is asked for" are unfortunate, as they do not provide full clarity.

The TDAC form has essentially two types of fields:

• Fields that require the entry of data or the selection of an item from a pop-up list. If such a field is left blank, I cannot proceed to the next page. These fields are marked with a red asterisk.
• Fields for which data entry is not required. I can proceed to the next page even if I leave such a field blank. The field "Visa" is an example of such a field for which data entry is optional: regardless of whether or not I enter data in it, I can proceed with data entry into subsequent fields. These fields are not marked with an asterisk.

What if you have an extension of permit to Stay and a Re entry permit?

My Visa expired some years ago

 

As I wrote in the post you quoted:

Leave the field blank.

Anyone with a pioneering spirit arriving in Thailand already before the official launch date of 1 May 2025 can do the TDAC within three days prior to and including the entry date and surprise the immigration official with it, ie with the printout of the PDF document you get by email within minutes of submitting the data. 

Then keep it as a memento of your adventure.

WITHIN 3 days. You cannot do it earlier, you can do it from 3 days before arrival and until you queue at immigration in Thailand.

Correct.

There are some news stories that got it all wrong, and also the immigration website in one instance I saw today.

What about people who are living here happily ever after and do not leave Thailand...

The TDAC is not about the foreigners living in Thailand. It is about inputting and managing the data relating to the arriving foreigners' travel travel to Thailand.

The immigration officials will have less checking and typing to do and this will hopefully speed up immigration clearance.

At the end of May I will be returning with a new passport and old one with Retirement and re-entry visa in it anyone decrypt what Passport number to use with TDAC 🤔

I don't know what country issued your passport, but in my Swiss passport the passport number is not encrypted but shown in plain script.

On the ID page, at the top of the page, the number is shown in a regular font, in the second line of the machine-readable zone at the bottom of the page in a special font designed for that purpose.

Is it my the Permisdion to say number or the reentry permit number. On the old TM6 form it was the reentry permit number. Years ago when first moved here I put the permis ion to say (non o) renew number and io told me it needs to be the rentry permit number. But on TDAC it called visa number?

On the TDAC form, it is currently not a required field.

If you don't have a visa, leave the field blank.

If you have a visa, you can choose between leaving it blank or giving the visa number.

There has been no information that PR holders will be exempt from doing the TDAC.

So what happens if I don't have internet access, nor a modern phone? Does that mean I can't come to Thailand?
