Thailand — the paper arrival card is gone (TDAC)
Every foreign visitor must now file the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online within 72 hours of arrival — by air, land or sea. Airlines check it at boarding and immigration asks for the QR code. It is free on the official site; third-party sites charge for the very same form.
