Starting from 1 May 2025, all travellers, including Singaporeans, must complete a mandatory digital arrival card before entering Thailand. Here’s everything you need to know to make your trip to Thailand a smooth and hassle-free one.
What is Thailand’s new mandatory Digital Arrival Card?
All foreign passport holders arriving in Thailand by air, land, or sea will be required to use the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), also known as TM.6 online. This digital card will replace the traditional paper arrival card. This system will help track tourists during their stay in Thailand, contributing to enhanced immigration security measures.
How to Apply for the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)
- Complete the TM6 digital form online before your trip: This will help avoid delays upon arrival in Thailand. No fees required for the submission of TDAC.
- Ensure you have all the necessary information: This includes your passport details, travel itinerary, and address of stay in Thailand.
- Stay informed about any updates or changes: Check official Thai government websites or consult with your airline for the latest information.
Whether you're drawn to the vibrant energy of Bangkok, the cultural richness of Chiang Mai, or the sun-kissed shores of Phuket, Thailand offers something for everyone. Remember to complete your e-arrival card prior to arrival in Thailand immigration for a smooth journey.

Best time to visit
Thailand’s tropical climate has three main seasons: the cool season (November to February) with pleasant temperatures and lower humidity, hot season (March to May) which sees temperatures soaring and plenty of beach-ready weather ahead, and rainy season (June to October) which has higher rainfalls but also fewer crowds. Climate also varies depending on the city or region you’re visiting – Bangkok in the south tends to follow these three seasons, while Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai up north are cooler year-round.
Currency
The official currency of Thailand is the Thai Baht (THB). You can buy currencies at real-time exchange rates and collect your currencies at Changi Airport using Changi Recommends FX.
Transportation
Specific transportation options vary across cities and towns in Thailand, although most major cities generally have public bus and train networks for convenient connectivity. River boats are also a common option in cities including Bangkok. And you can also opt to flag down buses, taxis, motorbike taxis, and Tuk Tuks. Ridesharing apps like Grab and Tada are also active in Thailand although coverage varies across destinations.
