Rule 1: Be Helpful to IOs

 

When I was at Chaengwattana, and read some girl's data and visa pages-copy on the flip-side of the sheet they give you to sign about not overstaying, I wanted to be helpful and point that out, but I rather bit my tongue... 😆

So, I have to give the IO, and perhaps another person my phone? How about the email; would they also accept screenshots of it? Also, is the wifi at Arrival good enough to quickly search your email, and still be online when face-to-face with the IO?

The reports so far suggest that if you have done it they can already see it on their system, based on your passport.  So the need to present anything is not indicated, although it would be a good idea to have it just in case.

Obviously, you need to be connected to WiFi or mobile data, to complete the TDAC so if you download it to your phone, rather than just read it when it arrives it'll still be readable when you're not connected. (Same as any documents you have stored on your phone, like passport copies, travel insurance etc.)

 

But as is being said, once you've completed the TDAC it'll be on the system anyway. As an aside, I never quite understood why the SETV that one paid for wasn't automatically on the system, but one was specifically told to print that.

 

Actually, there is an official answer to the question on the FAQ page - looks like this

According to this, one may still have to give every Somchai IO into his palm one's phone... 😷🤢

Looks that way - no problem if it saves printing it. The IO isn't going to nick yer phone!

 

I suspect that if that is the case, they'll just scan the phone, BUT others have suggested that as long as you've actually got a TDAC, the IO won't want to see it as it'll be on the system.. We'll find out when a few people have been through and hopefully reported back.

 

On that same FAQ page https://tdac.immigration.go.th/manual/en/faq.html if you scroll down, you can see when the system software version is updated. Latest as I write is "Release Version 2025.04.02, April 30, 2025" so when something changes, I presume (!) that will be updated.  This smacks of someone competent being in charge of the updates - amazing Thailand!
