As I fly out and back at least every month I wish they would develop an app that’s faster and easier to use app that would remember you base information. As the web page is a bit time consuming.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights the desire for a more user-friendly app for expats who frequently travel in and out of Thailand. Participants share their experiences with the TDAC (Thailand Departure and Arrival Card) and TM30 registration requirements, noting that TM30 is often only needed for immigration visits, while TDAC can be easily completed online for free if submitted within a specified time frame.
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.

Our TDAC is free here, and allows you to copy the information from a previous TDAC:

If you submit earlier than 72 hours then there is a small fee, otherwise it's FREE.

Jo doesn't this page owner do the TDAC and also have a service in advance of the 3 days? Maybe it's somewhat automated/autopopulated. Contact them.

Yes, and it is free if they submit within the 72 hours (which allows your to copy older TDAC details).

TDAC is easy. TM30 you only need if you're going to immigration. I laugh at these guys panicking every time they have a few days away

Never said it was not easy but this month I will fly into Thailand 3 times. It’s time consuming.

Takes two minutes. Less time than the old TM6 which it replaced. I'm sorry if you've wasted those six minutes this month!

@Keith ******
how many times have you filled it in ? Myself 8 times in 2 months. It takes 5 - 20 minutes. Your an old grumpy man,
Keith *******
@Jo *********
Actually you're the grumpy old man complaining! I'm saying it's no big deal. If it takes you that long you're not doing it right. I've done it four times in the last six weeks. It's really easy. Easier than the old TM6

I retired at 48. Already amassed a huge property and share portfolio. You're an old guy who still has to work. But we both have to take the two minutes to fill in the TDAC! Terrible isn't it?

TM 6 is done and over with now. TM 95 ONLY if you stay over 365 days. TDAC is for everyone. And i only bother with TM 30 sporadically at best
