Dear TDAC/Immigration, 

 

I do not have a mobile-phone or smart-phone, how should I try to comply with the new entry-system ?

 

As a twenty-year resident of Thailand, I do have a current re-entry permit, and am used to giving my finger-prints to identify myself & my Immigration-status, will that still be sufficient ? 

 

I do also have a computer-printer, it is located at my residence here in Thailand, so I cannot access it (to print a copy of the QR-code) until after I have arrived, and been let back into Thailand.

 

I have looked into completing the new arrival-form, but it does not currently allow me to give my country-of-residence as being in Thailand, how should I complete the entry-form in this case ?  Of course I don't want to give an incorrect address/country-of-residence, to you.

 

I will return to Thailand, from my next trip overseas, on 13th May  ...  and hope that all will become clear, by then.

 

 

I am in the same situation. I travel by road to hospital in Khon Kaen on Sunday 4th May via the O'Smach - Sisaket land crossing. I shall plead ignorance and if I am refused then I will discuss the need for urgent medical treatment. I only have an old 3G mobile. This crossing is usually quiet with mainly local Cambodian and Thai travelers. Maybe they still have a collection of old TM6 forms available.

 

Recently, I travelled to the same hospital but travelling with Air Asia from Siem Reap to/from Khon Kaen. Thai Immigration in Bangkok (DMK) were brilliant. Being in a wheelchair, I was kept clear of all the channels with passengers queueing and was taken to the DIPLOMAT- VIP channel and processed in a couple of minutes. I was the the sole traveler who was then ushered to the right of the Diplomat channel to a hidden lift within the Immigration Admin and rest area and taken to the ground floor. Thankyou Air Asia and Thai Immigration - first class service!

There are other ways aside the phone to do the TDAC.

Yes, thank you. I will try using the website on my computer and generate a paper copy for presentation to Thai Immigration.

Seems clear.  I'll be a guinea pig as arriving from the UK on 1 May.

 

Good luck.

Your remark after arrival will be appreciated.

Have a nice safe trip to Thailand.

If your flight start from UK but you have another flight from China (connecting flight) and then you arrive to Thailand, what's the country that you have to fill on the country where you boarded? UK or China? As is the connecting flight that will bring you to Thailand 

 

And what flight number you must fill in? The flight number from UK or the flight number from China to Thailand?

How many "if" scenarios do we have to endure on this topic? PUT WHATEVER YOU WANT. It doesn't matter!!!  Just fill in the damn card. No one is checking them. No one is approving them.

It will be interesting to see how the new system works come Monday.

I would have thought UK because you are only in transit when changing planes but not sure

Currently, the TDAC form does not allow foreigners with legal residence in Thailand to select Thailand as their country of residence.

It does now.

Surely the reason why people could not previously find Thailand in the list was because they were unaware that it starts with a K.

The video is nothing like the actual process.  Granted it's two weeks old and the process is being developed, but better to work it out for yourself than go by what's shown above.

 

 

Read the linked threads.

If you don't have a phone then go to your local library and use their computer and printer the form seems straight forward to fill in on the official website, hopefully you have a email address, if not open one now

No I did check that and it wasn’t anywhere.  They have now added it.
