Do I still need to fill in the TDAC or the THIM app 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
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is still valid for entry into Thailand. Travelers can complete the TDAC either on the website or via the THIM app, which is free to use. Be cautious of services that charge for the TDAC.

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