Do I still need to report my address after using the digital arrival card in Thailand?

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

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?
Answer summary
With the new digital arrival card system in Thailand, it's important to note that you still need to report your address to the local immigration office if required. Although the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) records your entry and intended stay address, it is distinct from the TM.30 form, which is specifically for reporting your actual residence. Depending on local office requirements, you may need to submit a TM.30 again after returning to your address.

Interesting, because I was told at airport immigration, and by my rental agent and by Hua Hin immigration that I didn't have to do TM 30.. that was 2 weeks ago

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.
