Do I need to fill in the THIM app or can I use the TDAC when returning to Thailand from a holiday?

THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.

Hi all,

Advice on entry requirements pls…..does the TDAC still suffice or do we have to fill in the newer THIM (app )…….when returning to Thailand from a holiday etc
Answer summary
When returning to Thailand from a holiday, you can still use the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) either via the website or the THIM app. The TDAC is free to use, and travelers should be wary of sites charging a fee for it.

The TDAC Thailand Digital Arrival Card is okay to use. It's FREE to use... AVOID those who charge a fee for the DTAC.
