Thailand's online arrival card that foreign passport holders must complete before entry, replacing the older paper TM6 card in normal use.
The TDAC is Thailand's online arrival card that foreign passport holders fill in before entering, replacing the old paper TM6 in normal use. Airlines and immigration now expect the digital confirmation, and long-stay residents still have to complete it every time they re-enter. If you only remember the paper card, you can get held up at check-in or the border.
