Digital Arrival Cards , do after landing or needed for boarding pass?

[RubbaJohnny]

Looked at Immigration site , none the wiser.

 

A brief google suggests it is a digital version of the old TM6 "landing /arrival card?

 

I have a multi entry non O with re entry permit.

 

Will it be an app? 

Will it be via eMail ?

Will it work by text to my Thai mobile?

I am happy to comply but the similar Malay system very clunky esp if entering address in correct formats

 

Has anyone seen a template please?

 

I am never in a hurry as partner always late pick up from Swampy so can do it once landed unles airlines will make it a boarding requirement. as refusal  makes airline liable to deport

 

Any advice or experience welcome thank you in anticipation.

We haven't any details yet, it is supposed to work from May 1st. You will probably need to do it before travelling to Thailand.

Thanks , I just hope there is a web registration,for me  who finds reading websites even on reasonably large cellphone hard, due to eye and hand issues, how is the issue as well as when, I just hope they can put it back 6 weeks by which time I hope to be back. with onlt TM 47 TM 30 TM8 and 90 day reports to keep track of.

It's already live, daughter filled one in the other day for her upcoming trip in August

 

Hang on, it's the electronic visa she filled in, is this landing card thing something different?

Amazing!  Perhaps you could ask her, and let us know, where exactly she went to fill in the information?

I saw you edited your original post.  If she's coming in August then the e-visa she seems to have applied for will have expired, they are issued for entry 3 months from date of issue.  So she will need to apply for another one nearer the time, by which time the online arrival card system may or may not have been started.

It's not live.  Electronic visa is completely different.  It's unlikely she would need a visa.  Most countries are visa exempt to Thailand, so I doubt she would have been applying for an electronic visa either.

No one is.

Slated for May 1. Don't bet on it.

Just keep an eye on announcements.

It's not the TDAC (Thailand digital arrival card) 

Seems she applied for an eVisa.

However that can't be correct at her trip is in Aug.

Also what visa could she be applying for?

No details are available yet. The latest news seem to be that 

"...

The Immigration Bureau has also collaborated with other agencies to streamline travel processes, integrating the TDAC with:

The Department of Consular Affairs' E-Visa system
