Unavowed 2,359 #2 Posted August 11 Yes it’s live and I’ve used it in the last week. It’s not an additional thing to do, and it’s the same information that you need to enter into the webform. The difference is that you can create a profile to store your passport and personal detail which will pre-fill most of the requested information before each trip. 1 Mark22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadaVisitor 1,046 #3 Posted August 11 https://siam-legal.com/travel-to-thailand/thailands-thim-app-what-every-foreign-traveler-needs-to-know/ From what I've read the THIM was optional until August and then it was supposed to become mandatory. But it also says you still need to fill out the TDAC? I've been scouring the net looking to see if this has actually become mandatory, but cannot find any relevant/recent news. I'm in Cambodia right now and returning to Thailand tomorrow...I'm not going to download this app. I will just do the TDAC online like I always do. See what happens...will let you guys know how I make out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One is a webform and one is an app. You’d get a QR code and your trip will be registered with immigration whichever option you choose. 1 1 Mark22 and CanadaVisitor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unavowed 2,359 #5 Posted August 11 Sorry one point of clarification. You do your arrival card within the app, but the app I also does other immigration services and not just the TDAC. For a regular visitor it’s worth using the app just so you can save your passport details in your profile making it easier to fill out your arrival card.

Mark22 715 #6 Posted August 12 Thanks everyone for the information as I'd not heard of this. Have installed the app, registered, scanned my passport and done the facial recognition so all I need to do now is add my trip 72 hours before to get the QR code. 1 Unavowed reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadaVisitor 1,046 #7 Posted August 12 (edited) Just landed and am in my taxi to Soi 11. I never installed the app. I just did my TDAC as usual. And as usual they never asked to see it anyway. THIM definitely not mandatory yet, but I still don’t know about TRIM, haha Edited August 12 by CanadaVisitor 2 prebss and Unavowed reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When he tried to go thru, he was sent back to fill it out. I assume it should be linked in the system to your passport since it requires your passport number. When they scan your passport they see that you filled it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When they scan your passport they see that you filled it out I agree with both gents. Asking for your QR code seems rather random at immigrations. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I have the idea they simply check their system when they do. Filling out a TDAC takes a few minutes, no hassle at all. At least for me, not worth downloading another app and again sharing passport details on the online highway 1 CanadaVisitor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
