Thai authorities have reminded all foreign tourists planning trips to the country that they will need to fill out a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) at least three days before travelling, starting on April 28 for arrivals on May 1.

The simple application, replacing the traditional TM.6 paper form, can be completed on the TDAC website, said deputy government spokesman Anukool Pruksanusak. A TDAC mobile app for Android and iOS users is expected to be ready soon.

The TDAC will replace the TM6 form, which all visitors had to complete in order to clear immigration. The use of TM6 cards has been suspended since last year.

Travellers must input personal details, passport information, travel itinerary, accommodation and health status.

Once they fill out the TDAC form, travellers will receive a confirmation email to present alongside travel documents upon arrival in Thailand.

There is something lost in translation there.

It must be filled out within three days of travel, not "at least three days before". Any later date gives an error "invalid format". (With today the 22nd, you can't enter a date later than the 25th.)

This is similar to the New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan online forms.
