Last year, the Thai government announced that all foreigners would need to fill in the Thailand Arrival Card starting in 2025. When I went to Bangkok in February, they hadn’t implemented it yet. Recently, they announced that it will take effect on 1st May 2025.
Thailand is one of Singaporeans’ favourite holiday destinations, so it’s important for us to know how to apply for the digital arrival card, no matter whether you’re entering by land, sea, or air!
