Apply for your TDAC early - Here

Apply for your TDAC early via our platform

 

AGENTS CO., LTD. has launched a dedicated platform for submitting Thailand Digital Arrival Cards (TDAC), built specifically to support travel agents, tour operators, and travel service providers managing group travel. The system is designed to eliminate the stress of last-minute filings and make the TDAC process faster, more flexible, and more reliable for everyone involved.

One of the platform's standout features is its support for full pre-submission edits, allowing agents to adjust any application at any point before submission. The system even allows edits after a TDAC has been issued, giving agencies far greater control than the official government platform provides.

For submissions made within 72 hours of arrival, the service is completely free. There is no charge to travelers or agents using the platform during the standard submission window. For those who want to prepare in advance, the platform offers automatic timed submission, ensuring that each TDAC is filed at the earliest eligible moment. Early submission pricing ranges from $0.50 to $8 per applicant, depending on group size, with larger groups benefiting from lower per-person costs.

The AGENTS TDAC platform also solves a common and frustrating issue with the government system: session timeouts and unexpected errors. The official TDAC website can force users to start over if the session expires, or if a network or system error occurs mid-submission. You can imagine how disruptive this could be if you're submitting for a group of four travelers, or worse, thirty. In contrast, the AGENTS platform uses a fully resumable form, saving your progress automatically so you can continue later without losing any data or having to start from scratch.

Another significant advantage for group travelers is the individual TDAC delivery system. Unlike the official government platform that combines all travelers into a single document (creating privacy concerns when distributing to group members), the AGENTS system generates separate TDACs for each person. Every traveler receives their own TDAC directly to their personal email address, ensuring privacy and individual document control. This is especially valuable for visa applications such as the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa, which requires individual TDACs rather than group documents. Travel agents and tour operators benefit from this privacy-focused approach while still maintaining convenient group management through a single download option for all TDACs.

Key features include:

  • Unlimited draft sessions that never expire unless deleted

  • Fully resumable form with no session timeouts or forced restarts

  • Instant reload of previously submitted data

  • Unlimited edits before submission

  • Ability to edit even after TDAC has been issued

  • Automatic submission for early-prepared applications

  • Approvals typically issued within 1 to 5 minutes for submissions inside 72 hours

  • No group size limit

  • Individual TDACs issued per traveler to meet documentation requirements

  • Optional eSIM purchase at checkout, often priced below retail

While the platform is optimized for group submissions, regular travelers are also welcome to use the AGENTS TDAC system. Travelers submitting within 72 hours of arrival can use the platform at no cost. Those who wish to submit early may choose the optional paid service for added convenience and peace of mind.

Official TDAC information page by AGENTS ( https://tdac.in.th )

The system proved its reliability during a major outage on May 7, when the official TDAC site became inaccessible. Hundreds of travelers and agents successfully used the AGENTS platform to complete their submissions, with over 99 percent receiving their TDACs without delay most of them completely free.

AGENTS CO., LTD. has a strong track record supporting international travelers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company launched the ASQ hotel booking platform and provided Thailand Pass support to hundreds of thousands of arrivals. All personal data submitted through the platform is handled in full compliance with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

Travelers and agencies are reminded to verify the authenticity of TDAC-related websites. The official government TDAC form is hosted at tdac.immigration.go.th. If using a third-party service, look for a .co.th or .in.th domain to ensure the provider is properly registered in Thailand.

I can explain it for you - but I can't understand it for you 😀

Yes it is real, but if you want to do it before the standard 3 day window there will be a fee involved.

 

And if data security is your concern, I would recommend avoiding Thailand.  Putting your information into the official Thai government TDAC system has a 50% chance of being stolen by hackers based on past government data breaches.

Airlines take no responsibility for the ads that pop up on their websites. They do not chose these ads themselves but subscribe to one or more ad servers.

A lot of people pay money for convenience. If they want something to be easier, or don't want to think about something, they pay for it. Maybe you don't want to worry about filling out a TDAC in the 3 days leading up to your trip.  Maybe you're going to be traveling for 2 of those 3 days because you are far from Thailand, and you'll be busy packing the 3rd day.  There are many reasons someone might not want to worry about it.  $8 isn't a lot, and it's optional.  If you don't want to pay, then dont.

Some airlines rely on our form depending on the traveler’s country and language, since the TDAC is only available in five languages.
 

You can still complete the form with us for free, just like the official government form. Our system is fully compliant with PDPA regulations to ensure your data is secure. Once your application is approved, you’ll also have the option to delete all your personal information at any time by clicking the button at the bottom of the status page.

You can submit your application up to one year before your arrival. Your information is kept secure, and once it’s approved, you’ll have the option to delete your data at any time.

The AGENTS form is also free. If you’d prefer not to pay, simply wait until you are within the free 72 hour submission window.

Not worry about it at all and if questioned upon arrival just say after countless attempts and failures due to endless timeouts etc, gave up completely. The Thai website's fault.

And then get sent away to complete the TDAC at one of the banks of iPad like devices. Rejoin the back of the immigration queue.

Great idea. 555

They will wonder how come everyone else was able to fill the form out and just you wasn't able to .

Why not just fill the form out online ?

It will be a bit like a nightclub bouncer:-

"If your names not on the list, you ain't coming in".

Simple as that. There is no bargaining or discussion on this matter. There are however a few airline staff lurking around the bank of devices - they should be able to assist.

Let's say someone is in Cambodia far away from a major city with unreliable internet and then travels direct from there to the airport. Yet the airport wifi is malfunctioning so... simply no time...

"What should a foreigner do if they did not receive the QR Code via email?"

-- "Please contact the Immigration Officer at the entry checkpoint."

https://tdac.immigration.go.th/manual/en/faq.html

The fact that is the first on the FAQ indicates there are provisions in case of problems.

So how could an airline deny boarding in such a scenario?

Also from that FAQ:

What if I don't have a smartphone or internet access?

Upon the arrival in Thailand, kiosks and internet Wi-Fi will be provided.

As I already pointed out earlier, there is a bank of devices as you approach the queue for immigration where the form can be completed. There are staff milling around who can assist.

If you resort to this, this will most likely result in a delay passing through immigration. You will find many half-wits (mainly Chinese) who didn't/couldn't complete the form in good time prior to their arrival.

Surely you have all the information you require now?

So, I can apply for this any time before arrival (I know the 72-hour window before arriving. I will fly to Thailand in 3 weeks. Can I apply now?)My Thai wife will use the Australian passport. Does she need it as well? Or just me?

If you use the link from this post, you can submit it now and pay a small fee, and they will hold the data and submit it for you when it's within 3 days and send you the QR code. If you do it yourself through this link OR the official website within 3 days yourself, there is no fee.

There is also a new app from Thai immigration called THIM, which will let you pre-submit now, and then send you a reminder when you are 3-days away to go back in and fill out the health declaration and then provide you with the QR code.

So it really comes down to if you want to actually get it done right now for a convenience fee, or not.

If your wife is entering with an Australian passport, I believe she will still need the TDAC.
