The Thai government will implement a new mandatory procedure for all international travelers planning to enter the country starting May 1. This new requirement consists of completing a digital form called the “Thailand Electronic Travel Declaration Form” (ETD).
The main purpose of this form is to optimize and streamline the immigration process, as well as significantly improve the country’s health, administrative, and security measures in the face of global contingencies. The ETD will request specific and detailed information from the traveler, such as:
- Complete personal information (name, passport number, nationality, etc.).
- Contact information (email and phone number).
- Information about the travel itinerary, including exact dates, flight numbers, and specific entry points.
- Details of planned accommodations during the stay in Thailand.
- Basic medical history of relevant health conditions, in line with current international protocols.
To complete the form, travelers must access the official portal enabled by the Thai authorities. It is recommended to do so at least 48 hours prior to travel to ensure receipt of the necessary digital confirmation. This confirmation must be presented both during the airline check-in process and to immigration personnel upon arrival in Thailand.
It is important to note that failure to comply with or incomplete submission of the form may result in significant travel delays, denied boarding, or possible fines, as stipulated by current immigration regulations.
We advise you to carefully review these new regulations and properly complete the process to ensure a smooth trip.
