## What TDAC.info is and is NOT

- TDAC.info IS: an independent, paid filing assistant (USD 29 per traveller) with manual human verification, group filing, refund-if-rejected, and 24/7 email support.
- TDAC.info is NOT: the Thai government, a Thai embassy or consulate, a visa service, or a travel agency.
- The official, free government portal: tdac.immigration.go.th
- TDAC.info exists for travellers who want the strict 47-field form pre-validated by a human before submission, group filing for families, and a refund guarantee if the application is rejected.

## What this service does

TDAC.info is an independent, third-party filing service. Travellers complete a single simplified English form (one submission for up to 6 travellers) and a trained agent manually verifies every field against the passport before lodging the application with the Thai Immigration TDAC portal. The agency exists because the official portal has 47 fields with strict format rules (MRZ passport data, date formats, transliteration) and reports rejections only after submission. Travellers can also file directly and free of charge at tdac.immigration.go.th — the fee here pays for human verification, error correction, group filing, refund-if-rejected, and 24/7 support.

- Service fee: USD 29 per traveller (one-time, not per booking)
- Booking window: up to 12 months before arrival (we auto-time the submission to land inside the 72-hour official window)
- Group filing: up to 6 travellers in one checkout
- Result: approved QR code emailed within ~30 minutes during Bangkok business hours
- Payment: PayPal Card Fields, Apple Pay, Google Pay (no PayPal account required)
- Refund: full refund if the application is rejected
- Support: support@tdac.info, replies in plain English
