BANGKOK — The Ministry of Tourism and Sports has warned foreign visitors about fraudulent websites posing as the official Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) registration portal and charging illegal fees.
Ms. Natreeya Taweewong, the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, said the sites were scams exploiting the surge in travel to Thailand.
“Any website that collects money for TDAC registration is not an official Thai government site,” she said. “The process is completely free of charge.”
Tourists are advised to register only through the official Immigration Bureau website: https://tdac.immigration.go.th
Ms. Natreeya urged travelers to be cautious and report fraudulent pages by collecting evidence such as URLs or screenshots and submitting them to authorities via the Cyber Police Hotline 1441, the Online Complaint Center 1212 OCC, or the Anti-Fake News Center Thailand.
The Ministry said it is coordinating with cybersecurity agencies to identify and prosecute those behind the fake sites and called on the media to help share accurate information with the public.
