Immigration officials claim that the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card ( TDAC ), which will replace paper cards starting in May, will improve the screening of transnational criminals and make visitor arrivals more convenient.
According to Pol Maj Gen Choengron Rimpadee, head of the Immigration Division 2 at Suvarnabhumi aircraft, the new certification program does apply to all international visitors made by air, sea, or area.
Travelers are required to implement at least three days before the day of their scheduled arrival in Thailand. Beginning on April 28 for those arriving on May 1, programs will get accepted on the TDAC site.
The TDAC will change the TM6 report card, which all visitors required to complete in order to pass immigration. Since last year, the use of TM6 tickets has been prohibited since the system was overhauled by government.  ,
” Considering its ease and convenience, this new program is a lot better,” said Pol Maj Gen Choengron. You can get the appearance card’s digital format at any time and anywhere, not just when it is handed to you by airport or airline staff.
The bureau’s genetic database, which enables immigration authorities to check the fugitive histories of international arrivals, will also be synced with the TDAC system, he said.
According to Pol Maj Gen Choengron, the two systems are connected, so information about foreign visitors ‘ declared accommodations while staying in Thailand is automatically sent to the department’s collection, bypassing the customary manual input.
The Immigration Bureau’s fresh program, according to National Police Chief Kittharath Punpetch, will increase efficiency and help stop criminals from using the nation as a hub for criminal activity, Punpetch said on Friday.
According to Pol Gen Kittharath, the use of Thai “nominees” to lead foreign-controlled companies, particularly those that are located in China, is on the plan.
He claimed that the Chinese state and its embassy in Bangkok are prepared to help Thailand in a crackdown on those who abuse it.
