How to Submit the TDAC:

1. Visit the official website: tdac.immigration.go.th

2. Choose between individual or group submission

3. Enter your personal details, travel itinerary, accommodation, and health declaration

4. Submit the form

5. Save or print the confirmation to present at immigration

Previously, it was also reported that as the TDAC replaces the old TM6 paper form, plans for a proposed 300-baht tourism fee may be delayed to avoid confusion during the transition to this new system.
