Hey guys , I'm not good with search option so I apologize in advance. To the question - with this new digital arrival card system do we still have to report my address at office (my wife's house) or is it sufficient with the online card with correct address?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The new digital arrival card (TDAC) does not replace the requirement to report your address in Thailand using the TM.30 form. They serve different purposes: TDAC records your entry and intended place of stay, while TM.30 is necessary to officially report your actual residence address to local immigration authorities.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Yes, you have to (if your local office requires you to submit TM.30 again after returning to the same address in Thailand).

TDAC and TM.30 are different systems. TDAC is about the record of arriving in Thailand, and the address in TDAC is about the place you are going to stay. TM.30 is to report that you are actually staying at that address.
