travel to Thailand

Malaysian citizens entering Thailand are now required to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before they travel. Whether it’s a weekend escape or a family visit, this is a mandatory step that must be done online.

Our platform simplifies this process so you won’t waste time dealing with unclear forms or technical issues on government websites.

What is the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)?

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is a mandatory digital immigration form that has replaced the former TM6 paper card. It collects your travel and personal details and must be completed before entering Thailand.

Key details about the Thailand Digital Arrival Card Who should complete the TDAC?
📄Type of document: Digital immigration form, not a visa Malaysian citizens visiting Thailand for:
⏱️When to submit: Up to 72 hours before arrival 🛫Tourism: Visiting popular destinations like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, or Phuket
💻How to complete: Online submission 🛍️Business or shopping trips: Short-term visits for attending meetings, conferences, or trade events
Important: Required in addition to any visa (if applicable) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Family visits: Staying with relatives or friends in Thailand

Once submitted, your TDAC is valid for a single entry and will be sent to your email. You’ll need to show it at immigration when you arrive in Thailand.

What Malaysian travelers should know before submitting the TDAC

You can update specific details after submitting your TDAC, such as your arrival date or accommodation. But if there’s an error in your name, passport number, nationality, or date of birth, you’ll need to submit a new form. These fields cannot be changed once submitted.

We’re not the Thai government; we’re a private visa service provider with over 10 years of experience helping travelers apply for visas and submit immigration forms with fewer headaches.

We help you avoid all that. With a 97% approval rate, most travelers who apply with us get their documents quickly and without hassle.

“I was a little nervous when I heard the TDAC was now required. I didn’t want to mess anything up before crossing over. iVisa made it easy to get through the form without any issues.” — Hafiz Z, Malaysia

Thailand Digital Arrival Card FAQs

1. Do Malaysians need to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card?

Yes. Whether you enter by land or air, all Malaysian travelers must submit the TDAC before arrival.

2. Do Malaysian citizens need a visa to visit Thailand?

No. Malaysians can visit Thailand without a visa for up to 30 days. But the TDAC is still required.

3. Can I fill out the TDAC on my phone?

Yes. All you’ve got to do is download the iVisa app, which works smoothly on any device.

4. Is a printed TDAC necessary?

Not usually. A digital copy on your phone is fine, but many travelers bring a printed version just in case of connectivity issues.

5. When should I apply for the TDAC?

You can complete the TDAC as early as 72 hours before arriving in Thailand. Don’t leave it until the last minute.
