What British citizens need for Thailand

To enter Thailand, British citizens use the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), issued by Immigration Bureau, Royal Thai Police.

A free, mandatory arrival declaration for all non-Thai nationals, including infants, for every mode of entry. It is not a visa and does not replace one.

What this means for British citizens

These are the checks the authority's own published rules make on your nationality. The rest depends on your passport and dates, which the checker works out for you.

  • Met for British citizens: The arrival card is required for every traveller who is not a Thai national.

What you must satisfy
