Hold it, right there! This time it is not the TAT, but a former TAT governor. Seemingly, he is chiding the incumbent TAT governor for not doing his job. I wonder what he is getting out of this.

What does Thailand not yet have to attract more "higher-quality visitors"? Mmh, aah, yes, entertainment complexes with casinos.

Avoid Poipet, if you can. Everyone on this forum has nothing good to say about it.

Could you post a screenshot of page where you encounter this problem?

Your experience shows up the uselessness of clueless lawyers who portray themselves as experts in immigration law in Thailand. It's a shame that this situation exists.

Interesting. When was that, at what airport, checking in for a flight of what airline?

This is a s bit difficult to explain, but I'll try: 1. The arrival date is the date on which you arrive in Thailand by air, sea or land. 2. The departure date is the date you plan to leave Thailand. Therefore, the departure date cannot be earlier than the arrival date. 3. Data input on the form is compulsory only for the fields marked with a red asterisk. The fields in the section "Departure" are not compulsory.

Please note that with the TDAC, only the fields marked with a red asterisk are compulsory, ie require you to input data. Whether we like it or not, this system of advanced travel information input is now the new norm for Thailand, is already in place for some other countries and currently in process for more countries. If it speeds up immigration clearance on arrival, as intended, we, the travellers, benefit from it.

This may be because visa numbers generally include no slash and because they don't want numbers of other things entered in that field.

Yes, definitely. It is no a required field, ie has no red asterisk next to it.

Yes, you can leave the field "Visa No." blank, regardless whether or not you have a visa. Personally, when I have a visa, I shall enter its number in the TDAC form and show the immigration official a printout of the visa.

I would leave the field "Visa No." blank because the number of the re-entry permit is not a visa number.

Because you are arriving with a valid re-entry permit, not with a valid visa, and because data entry for the field "Visa No." is not compulsory, you are free to leave that field empty. That's what I would do in your situation.

Did the fact that you "saw no one getting turned away" at immigration at the airport lead you to conclude that "the TDAC seemed to be confusing mess at immigration"?
