Is the THIM app the same as completing the TDAC?

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

Hi, I used the new app THIM to create a trip and QR code but everything about it is very thin on detail it really boggles my mind. Is this the same as completing a TDAC? TDAC is mentioned absolutely nowhere on the app🤔. Even adding "trip manager" I was confused about thinking it might be only for people who are part of a tour when it's actually you the traveller.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this app?

Thanks
Answer summary
The THIM app serves as a digital platform for completing the Thai digital arrival card (TDAC). Users report that the app allows them to create trips, generate QR codes, and even reminds them of necessary declarations before returning to Thailand. Despite initial confusion due to inconsistent terminology, it's confirmed that the THIM app is indeed a method to complete the TDAC, in addition to the traditional Thai Immigration website.

stick with it. it is a growing work in progress. now they have verify account yound9nt need re enter your passport details every time.

eventually it will replace a lot of need to go to immigration. but wait for the app to inform you.

Used it for a recent trip to Japan works like a charm, even sends a reminder 72 hours before arrival back in Kingdom to complete medical declaration for TDAC and then gives the QR code. Which you don't have to show the IO as it's in the system.

You can always Verify that the THIM App generated a TDAC by going directly to the TDAC Website to Verify

Dave Montore it’s not a compulsory extra step it’s a way to check on your TDAC if you are unsure

Yes. There are now 2 ways to complete the TDAC: the Thai Immigration website and the Thim app.

Is says "how to complete your arruval card " once you ask ut to create a new trip!!! This arrival card is the TDAC
Dave ****

OP
Graeme Mort Yes I gathered arrival was most likely the TDAC it's just that they went so heavy on TDAC it would be useful if the same terminology was consistent across the board.

Dave DM I suppose the thought Thailand digital arrival card could be shortened to arrival card, you'll find many thai systems are very interesting
