THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Hi need advice ? My Daughters passport photo Won’t load in THIM ( through biometric face scanning ) as she is 13 and has changed quite a bit in last 2 years can I still get a TDAC on my computer for entry without using THIM ? , Travelling in a few weeks so replacement Passport isn’t really an option 🙏

Answer summary
A user sought advice on obtaining a TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) for their daughter, whose passport photo wouldn't upload in the THIM app due to her significant changes in appearance over the past two years. Several commenters suggested that the user could complete the TDAC application directly on its official website, bypassing the THIM app altogether. Users confirmed that they had success with the TDAC, advising that it was unnecessary to rely on THIM and that completing the TDAC is possible without scanning the passport.

I’m not a child but likewise had problems scanning my new passport on to the THIM app.
Eventually I just took a photo and uploaded that.
I was born in Edinburgh so it automatically lists my nationality as SCOTTISH as opposed to British as per my passport.
Let’s see how that works with Immigration.

Just use the TDAC website 72 hours before you fly. THIM is not necessary yet.

Best to directly apply on official TDAC website. The THIM app, as great as it sounds, still isnt perfectly bug-free.

Applying biometric face scanning to children is a dumb oversight

You can fill it out on the TDAC site. The THIM app can completely be ignored.
