Woohoo 🙌

Finally got my DTV! Through the London Embassy!

Sorry just felt the urge to celebrate 🎉
Answer summary
The post celebrates receiving a DTV through the London Embassy and discusses the recent introduction of the THIM app, which is intended to replace the TDAC for entering Thailand. However, comments clarify that the THIM app is still in development, does not currently fulfill all requirements, and is particularly focused on providing functionalities for visa holders. Users expressed concerns about its functionality and reliability, highlighting the importance of using the original TDAC for entry requirements, which includes a health declaration regarding previous travel.

Confirmed this app does not work for TDAC. Generated a QR code with the app yesterday just for immigration to tell me is not in the system, send me back to re-do via the website. Was told app will "work" in August.

Don't use THIM yet for Visa. You can use it for TDAC, but not for anything else yet.

I am going to travel to Thailand by September, and I am going to fill out the TDAC online in its original version. The THIM App still has a few bugs and needs more fixes before it is fully operational. The TDAC explicitly says that you only need to fill out a "health declaration" if your last stay before coming to Thailand was in a yellow fever risk country

Martyn Goddard dtac = phone provider. . . . TDAC = Thailand Digital Arrival Card. . . and the THIM is an APP, not an add

It is not that hard. Just follow instructions. Read & read again & again. That’s why there’s a platform for you to do it yourself

It's a declaration. It's not asking for insurance.

that is for your arrival card, it is a health declaration. You need to make it 72 to 48 hours before you arrive. You basically say what country you're coming from and that you're not sick.

You'll need to confirm you haven't travelled through a yellow fever or ebola area within 3 days of arrival, you don't need insurance

This is only for arriving back into Thailand

Nothing to do with any visa

It’s to tell immigration where you have been before coming back to Thailand !!!!
