Final Pre-Departure Preparation

You have your e-Visa. Use this list to check the last things before you fly.

Within 3 days before you land: Fill in the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC).
Day 1 in Thailand: Check your entry stamp. Your landlord, dorm or hotel sends your address report (TM.30) to immigration within 24 hours.
Before day 90: Ask immigration for an extension of stay.

Go through each tab and tick things off.

You may stay 90 days on arrival. Ask immigration for an extension of stay before they end.
