Introducing the TDAC platform by AGENTS, designed for adaptable and speedy data processing
In a recent development, AGENTS CO., LTD. has launched a dedicated system called the AGENTS TDAC platform, designed to streamline the submission of Thailand Digital Arrival Cards (TDAC) for travel agents, tour operators, and travellers who prefer a third-party service. However, it's important to note that the government's official Thailand Immigration TDAC website remains the most reliable and officially recommended method for submitting TDACs.
The official website, widely trusted for its accuracy and direct integration with immigration authorities, provides a detailed, step-by-step process to submit the arrival card. It is the primary channel for travellers to comply with the TDAC requirement and is referenced by government sources and travel advisory services.
When it comes to efficiency and reliability, the official website offers several advantages. Users have full control over their information and submission timeline, with the ability to submit within 3 days before arrival. The platform also provides drop-down menus and detailed guidance, aiding in accurate completion.
The AGENTS TDAC platform, while it may offer convenience for travel professionals and a more user-friendly interface, is a third-party service. It potentially benefits group submissions by travel operators, but this advantage is primarily for agents rather than individual travellers.
For individual travellers, the government's official TDAC website is more reliable and efficient, as it is the authoritative source and ensures direct submission without intermediaries. The AGENTS platform, while serving well for travel agents and operators, does not replace the official system’s reliability for direct submissions.
Key features of the AGENTS TDAC platform include unlimited edits before submission, even after a TDAC has been issued. The platform also automatically submits early-prepared applications, includes a resumable session feature, and generates individual TDACs for each traveller and sends them directly to their email address.
AGENTS has experience with digital travel systems in Thailand, having been involved in the Thailand Pass system and Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) hotel bookings during the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform is compliant with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and there is no group size limit on the AGENTS TDAC platform.
Approval for submissions within 72 hours are typically issued within 1 to 5 minutes. The platform's forms are fully resumable with no session timeouts or forced restarts. During the temporary outage of the government TDAC website on May 7, the AGENTS platform continued to operate and process hundreds of applications without significant delays.
The AGENTS TDAC platform charges a fee for early applications, ranging from $0.50 to $8 per applicant, depending on group size, with discounts for larger groups. Optional eSIM purchase is available at checkout on the AGENTS TDAC platform, often priced below retail.
In conclusion, while the AGENTS TDAC platform offers convenience for travel agents, tour operators, and travellers who prefer a third-party service, the government's official TDAC website remains the most reliable and efficient platform for individual travellers to submit their Thailand Digital Arrival Cards.
- The AGENTS TDAC platform, with its unlimited edits and resumable session feature, boasts convenience for travel agents and operators who prefer a third-party service for their travel needs.
- Despite the efficiency of the AGENTS platform, the government's official TDAC website, with its direct integration with immigration authorities and step-by-step process for individual users, remains the most reliable and trusted platform for submitting Thailand Digital Arrival Cards.
- The AGENTS TDAC platform, having been involved in the Thailand Pass system and ASQ hotel bookings during the pandemic, is compliant with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and offers optional eSIM purchase at checkout, often at lower prices.
