Thailand makes digital arrival card mandatory for international visitors

Attention all travelers planning to visit Thailand starting 1 May 2025 – get ready for a big change! Thailand will be implementing a new requirement for all foreign travelers entering the country, and it's called the Thailand Digital Arrival Card.

 

Gone are the days of filling out paper arrival cards upon landing in Thailand. The new system will streamline the entry process and make it more efficient for both travelers and immigration officials. Instead of filling out a paper form, travelers will now be required to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online before their arrival.

 

This digital system will allow travelers to input their personal information, travel details, and health declaration in advance, making the process quicker and more convenient. It will also help authorities better monitor and track visitors entering the country.

 

But don't worry – the Thailand Digital Arrival Card is easy to complete and can be done from the comfort of your own home or on-the-go. Simply visit the official website, fill out the required information, and submit your form. Once you arrive in Thailand, immigration officials will verify your information electronically and you'll be on your way to enjoying your trip.

So, mark your calendars for 1 May 2025 and get ready to embrace this new change in Thailand's entry process. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is here to make your travel experience smoother and more efficient. Say goodbye to paper forms and hello to the future of entry requirements. Happy travels!
