Planning a trip to Thailand in 2025 ? Don’t forget there’s a new rule you need to know before you pack your bags. Starting May 1st, all foreign visitors must complete a new online form called the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering the country. This digital upgrade replaces the old paper arrival form and aims to make immigration faster, safer and more convenient for everyone.
