Entry Requirements
If you hold a passport from Singapore, you must submit a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering the Kingdom of Thailand. The TDAC replaced the paper-based TM6 form and is now required for all international arrivals — regardless of your visa status or purpose of travel.
As a Singaporean citizen, you are eligible for visa exempt (30 days) entry. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. The TDAC collects your personal details, travel information, and accommodation address in Thailand.
⚠️ Common Issue for Singaporean Passport Holders
Multiple citizenship declarations — this is the most common reason for TDAC rejections from Singaporean travelers. Our system automatically detects and corrects these issues before submission, ensuring your arrival card is accepted without delays at immigration.
How to Apply
- 1Have your Singapore passport ready with at least 6 months validity from your planned entry date.
- 2Complete the online form on TDAC.info with your personal details, travel itinerary, and accommodation address in Thailand.
- 3Our team reviews your submission for errors and you receive your approved QR code via email before your departure.
- 4Present your QR code at Thai immigration upon arrival — no paper forms needed, skip the queues.

- NRIC number is NOT needed on TDAC
Auto Gates at Suvarnabhumi: Singapore Passports Already Qualify
Singapore passports were accepted at the automated arrival gates at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport before the 17 August 2026 announcement that added 31 more nationalities to the same lanes. The conditions are unchanged: you need at least two previous entries to Thailand so your biometrics are already on file, a renewed passport means they are captured again at a manned counter, and the Thailand Digital Arrival Card is still mandatory. The gate looks up the TDAC filed under your passport number, so a mismatch in name spelling, passport number or date of birth sends you to the manual queue.
