Key Information
Key Requirements
- Indian ordinary passport with at least 6 months remaining on arrival
- Confirmed onward travel within 30 days and accommodation evidence
- Prepare cash equivalent to THB 20,000 per person or THB 40,000 per family, as Washington and Vienna advise; Wellington publishes lower amounts, so confirm before travel
- TDAC for each entry through immigration, including children
Step-by-Step Application Process
- 1
Check eligibility for your passport, purpose and intended stay
- 2
Submit the free TDAC at https://tdac.immigration.go.th/ within 3 days before arrival, including the arrival date
- 3
Enter passport, travel, accommodation and requested health information; save the confirmation
- 4
Present your entry documents and funds; check the permitted-until date stamped by immigration
Documents Required
- Ordinary Indian passport valid for at least 6 months on arrival
- Confirmed onward ticket within 30 days and accommodation evidence
- Cash: prepare the THB 20,000/person or THB 40,000/family equivalent recommended above; official funds guidance differs
- TDAC confirmation; a phone copy is acceptable, with a printout useful if you have no device
Pro Tips
- Practical advice: save your TDAC confirmation where you can access it offline
- Practical advice: confirm repeat-entry plans with Thai immigration before buying tickets
- Practical advice: compare refundable travel options without assuming that an extension will be granted
Important Notes
- • An extension of up to 30 days is discretionary; apply before your current permission expires
- • Repeat-entry limits need confirmation: Vienna applies a twice-per-calendar-year cap to land/sea entries, while London states twice yearly without that qualification. Do not assume unlimited air entries
- • TDAC is not a visa. Airside transit without passing immigration does not need it; entering Thailand does
