Do I still need to fill out the THIM for a 60-day tourist visa to Thailand?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
If I was approved for a 60 day tourist visa do I still need to do the "THIM"
Answer summary
Yes, if you have been approved for a 60-day tourist visa for Thailand, you still need to fill out the TDAC (Travel Declaration and Arrival Card), which is mandatory for all non-Thai individuals entering the country. The THIM app can be used to input your visa information and generate the TDAC, but using the app does not exempt you from needing to submit it.

60 or 30? Sincere question because I thought that they reduced it to 30.  With a 30 day extension. Please advise and thank you.
Paul *******
Greg Labord - 30 days Visa Exemption which you can extend only in Thailand at an Immigration Office for another 30 days , the cost for the extension is 1900 Baht .
The other option is to apply for a 60 day Single Entry Visa , you can apply for this from the Thai Embassy in your country online ( in the UK it’s London and costs £30.00 ) , you can apply in the 3 months prior to your arrival in Thailand , your 60 days will not start until your arrival in Thailand !!!

Yes ofcourse. Arrival card and a visa are two different things

Always TDAC on arrival, unless you are a Thai citizen.
TDAC can be filed through the THIM app.

Don't mix up THIM and TDAC. THIM is the name of an app you can use to do the TDAC which is obligatory for every arrival of a Non-Thai person.

Adam *******
Lorraine Whitter It's a sponsored ad above the official immigration website. There is about 3 of them and they are a scam. A TDAC is free
The websites charge you 150 pounds to enter and then fill out the TDAC information for you on the official website and send you a copy.

Lorraine Whitter a visa cost always money, but the TDAC ( not a visa) is always free. Not same same - different 😂😂😂😂
Marcel ********
Lorraine Whitter what kind of visa ?
If you need a 30 extension it will cost you 100 pounds using an agent and will take 24 hours to process with five minutes, I immigration for a photo
However as long as you not done it more then one time within the year as max is now 2 times per year or you need a visa

I think you have applied for a six month multiple entry visa that was £90 about 15 years ago so I’d imagine that’s probably right although I couldn’t say for sure
I fact I’ve just checked and I’m right 👍

Håkan Gustavsson it's not free for everyone ;)
Graeme ******
Lorraine Whitter are you applying for a visa or just informing your arrival into thailand? Your arrival is through the TDAC ( not a visa)
Graham ******
Lorraine Whitter Sounds like you applied for the 6 month multi-entry tourist visa, is that what you wanted?

Lorraine Whitter its free go to the thai immigration website

Visas aren’t free.Lynnette *******

60 day tourist visas aren't free. .Christian ********
@Chop *****
TDAC is not a visa ( from some country you can stay visafree from 14 to 30 days and extend plus 30 days at the immigration in Thailand for 1900 baht )Joel ******
@Chop *****
it may seem pedantic but it's not. A visa exemption means you don't need a visa. Using the terminology of visa on arrival leads to lots of additional confusion from the airport (people mistakenly going to the visa on arrival counter instead of just to the immigration check) to very different methods and qualifications for extensions.Chop ******
Gerry Whelan ohhhh sorry same same but different. Ffs
Gerry ********
@Chop *****
you mean visa-exemption, not visa on arrival. Two very different things.Graham ******
@Chop *****
Visa on Arrival is 15 days and costs 2000B for 3 qualifying passports, you mean visa exempt for the 60 qualifying passportsChop ******
Lynnette Munoz get a 30 day visa on arrival and extend it. Simple
Lorraine *********
@Chop *****
that's what I did unless I've applied for the wrong oneJohn ********
Lorraine Whitter That’s right
StunningA*********
Yes thim or tdac
Ralph *******
StunningAlpaca9148 No. You said THIM or TDAC as if they are equivalent.
StunningA*********
Ralph Tyson both work thim and tdac is the same things choice is yours, after thim release I always use app to do it quick
Ralph *******
StunningAlpaca9148 THIM is the app. TDAC is the document that needs to be completed.
StunningA*********
Ralph Tyson what I said?
Bernt ***********
StunningAlpaca9148 , THIM is just a tool to make TDAC
StunningA*********
Bernt Mikkelsen what I said?
Wayne *********
Yes of course, It’s an arrival notification, nothing to do with having a visa or not having a visa
Graham ******
You need to do the TDAC up to 3 days before arrival (THIM is an app which can be used for the TDAC)
Nigel ***********
Graham Seal within 72 hours of landing in bkk so need to take tgat and time difference into consideration
Ralph *******
Nigel Middleton Up to 72 hours prior to arriving anywhere in Thailand, not just BKK.
Graham ******
Nigel Middleton yes
Stuart *********
Yes a TDAC is still required. Whether using the online site
Or using the THIM app.
Either way works.
