Arrival Card Date Calculator:The First Day You Can Submit

Check your window

This tool counts the day you arrive as one of the 3 days, which is the wording used by Singapore's ICA and Malaysia's immigration guidance. It uses your device's local date. Dates follow the arrival date in the destination country, so if your flight lands after midnight, use the landing date.

How the 3-day count works

For these four systems the arrival day is one of the 3 days. So the window is arrival date minus 2 days, up to the arrival date. Arrive on the 30th and the first allowed day is the 28th.

• Short flights: you have the full window.
• Early morning arrivals: do it the evening before, not at the gate.
• Flight date changed: recheck the window and update or resubmit.

Japan's Visit Japan Web has no 3-day window, so it is not in this tool. See our Japan guide.

Why Thailand shows a "safe" window

The official Thai wording is "within 3 days before arrival, including the arrival date". Travel guides give examples that do not all agree on the first day, so we show the date that every example accepts. The official form is the final judge of whether a date is accepted.
