Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC

Can some one please go though immigration With out having done the TDAC and tell us if you got turned away or not....

 

I am leaning heavily towards them not giving a rats azz if you have done the TDAC or not......

What holds you back from testing it yourself?

There are already reports of people getting sent away to the terminals if they haven't done it.

Why the hell would you want to try it? Just fill out the form.

Good evening 

I'm arriving in Thailand with 2 valid German passports. The old one contains the reentry permit and 12 months stay based on retirement valid until 7.8.25, passport is expiring 1.2.2026. New passport 10 years validity. Which passport number do I enter on the arrival card?

 The one you are showing the immigration officer, which, I guess, will be the old one with the reentry permit.

Someone already posted his experience about it at Suvarnabhumi. He was politely pointed in the direction of the line of TDAC kiosks a few steps away where he could complete the online form. There is even some immigration staff there to lend a hand to those needing it.

 

At a land border, another poster got the online job done by a kind and helpful immigration official on duty there.

Websites sometimes change domains or restructure URLs, and if artificial intelligence don’t get timely updates, outdated links keep circulating. That’s why https://www.tdac.go.th/ is likely no longer active, while https://tdac.immigration.go.th/ is the current correct one.

Then he might only get an 8 month permission of stay based on his passport validity - thus....   I don't think there is any harm in using the 'new passport number'  - but handing over Both passports to the Immigration officer - I'm guessing they can make any corrections if necessary....

Are you saying the IO was holding the traveler's phone and scrolling through it???

Yes.  The passengers handed their phones to the IO and the IO scrolled through the screen to get to the part they needed to see.

If you have already registered on the online tdac and you're in Thailand but you have to exit and then come back again, do you just have to update the old tdac or you must register for a new one?

Think about it one more time...... It is an arrival card.
