TDAC or visa?

TDAC is mandatory for everyone entering Thailand, whether you need a visa or not. Swedes can stay up to 60 days without a visa (visa exemption), but TDAC must be filled in before entry. For longer stays or specific purposes, a visa is required.

For TDAC we apply online for you. For a visa we prepare all documents and submit at the Thai Embassy.

TDAC comes by email. The visa is placed in the passport after processing.

If you have Swedish documents to be used in Thailand after entry (e.g. for work or studies), authorized translation may be needed separately.
