Hi I'm going back in September, for the arrival card (digital arrival card) do i need to use the new app Tim or only use the TDAC on the computer to registered. Thanks in advance.

Answer summary

You can use either the new THIM app or the TDAC website to register for your digital arrival card when returning to Thailand. Many users have had success with both methods. For couples and families, you can register multiple people under one submission by selecting the 'group submission' option.

Gary Chin actually sorry, I am wrong. You can add all your family on one submission by by clicking the 'group submission' option then 'add passengers'. That's for TDAC, assume it's same if using the Thim app

Hi, how are you? You can still register for the TDAC using the website on your computer, so you don’t need to use the new app. Hope this helps, and have a lovely trip in September! 😊 If you need any more help, please don’t hesitate to ask.
