Thailand’s New Travel Rule: Digital Arrival Card Now Mandatory for Tourists

Ensure a seamless arrival—submit your TDAC before travelling to Thailand

Starting May 1, all tourists entering Thailand—by land, air, or sea—must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). This new regulation aims to streamline the immigration process and enhance the overall travel experience for visitors and residents alike.

Travellers must submit their TDAC up to 72 hours before arrival, either online or through designated channels. The card includes three sections: personal details, travel and accommodation information, and health-related declarations. It’s part of Thailand’s broader effort to manage tourism efficiently as visitor numbers continue to rise during the summer season.

Whether you’re arriving for a beach getaway, temple tour, or a city escape, this step is now essential. For a smooth landing in Bangkok, staying at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok offers a scenic and convenient base as a unique riverside hotel in Bangkok to start your Thai adventure in style.
