FAQ
Is TDAC free?
Yes, when submitted on tdac.immigration.go.th.
Do I need to print it?
No. Show the QR document on your phone; a printout is a good backup.
Did the 30-day visa-free change affect Koreans?
No. From 15 September 2026 many nationalities dropped from 60 to 30 days, but Koreans keep 90 days under the 1981 Korea–Thailand visa waiver agreement.
I'm transiting in Bangkok. Do I need TDAC?
Not if you stay airside. If you pass immigration or leave the airport, you need one.
