Thailand Digital Arrival Card for Vietnamese citizens: How to fill it out before you travel

Thailand is a favorite destination for Vietnamese travelers. It’s close, affordable, and full of places to explore. Before you land, you’ll need to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC).

We’ve made it easier to get this crucial travel form. We provide you with a simplified form that's easy to fill out so you can focus on your trip.

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 basic details about your identity, trip, and stay.

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

Thailand Digital Arrival Card requirements for Vietnamese travelers

1. A valid Vietnamese passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date. Be careful to enter your passport number exactly as it appears.

2. Personal details: Your full name, nationality, phone number, and email address.

3. Travel plans: This includes your arrival and departure dates, how you’re entering Thailand (such as by plane or car), your flight or vehicle number, and your reason for travel.

4. Accommodation in Thailand: You must provide the full address of where you’ll be staying. This can be a hotel, apartment, or guesthouse.

5. Health declarations (if needed): Depending on where you’ve been before arriving in Thailand, you may be asked to show proof of certain vaccinations, such as yellow fever.

How to apply for the Thailand Digital Arrival Card as a Vietnamese citizen

What Vietnamese travelers should know before submitting the TDAC

You can update certain 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.
