The TDAC application for Thailand is a completely online process. You do not need to send your passport physically or visit an embassy. Simply fill out the form, upload the required details, and submit it from anywhere.

No, you only need to mention one hotel name and the flight number you plan to use to enter Thailand in your DAC application.
Do children need to apply for TDAC?
All travellers have to apply for TDAC, including children. Parents or guardians can complete the form for minors. Each traveller must have an approved TDAC for smooth entry into Thailand.
I am visiting multiple countries before arriving in Thailand. Am I eligible for TDAC?
Yes, all Indian citizens are eligible for TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) for stays in Thailand of up to 60 days, regardless of their travel route. You can indicate your country of departure in the TDAC application form — it does not need to be your home country.
Can I extend my visa-free stay in Thailand?
Yes, if you’re visiting Thailand visa-free, you can usually stay for up to 60 days. This can be extended once for an additional 30 days, at the discretion of the immigration officer. It is recommended to apply for the appropriate visa such as a tourist/business e-visa before traveling, if you have a planned stay of beyond 60 days.
