About Arrival Checklist

Arrival Checklist explains entry requirements and digital arrival cards in plain English, so you can fill in the official forms yourself — correctly, and for free.

Why this site exists

Countries across Southeast Asia have moved their arrival paperwork online. The official forms are usually free, but they can be confusing, and lookalike websites charge travellers for forms that cost nothing. Thailand's Immigration Bureau, for example, has said around 10% of foreign arrivals used fake arrival-card sites.

We wanted one place that answers the practical questions — who needs it, when to file, what goes in each field — and then sends you to the real government site.

What we are — and aren't

How we keep it accurate

Rules can still change without notice, so always confirm on the official site before you travel. Found something out of date? Please tell us.

How the site is funded

The guides are free to read. In future the site may show advertising and include affiliate links to travel products such as eSIMs or travel insurance — if you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links will always be labelled, and they never affect what we say about official requirements.
