PETALING JAYA: Malaysians planning a short getaway to Thailand this Labour Day weekend are reminded to apply for their digital arrival card.
According to the Tourism Thailand website, all visitors arriving in the country, including Malaysians, must do so from Thursday (May 1).
"Starting May 1, all non-Thai nationals entering Thailand by air, land, or sea must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before arrival," it said.
Visitors, it added, must register within three days before arrival.
Designed to replace the traditional paper-based arrival card, the system promises faster immigration processing, reduced paperwork and improved border security.
The card serves as an official record of the traveller's entry.
Thailand is a favourite holiday destination for Malaysians, with the kingdom seeing 92,262 Malaysian tourists entering between March 31 and April 6.
