What issues are users experiencing with the new Thailand Immigration Management app?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
This is the new Thailand Immigration app called THIM "Thailand Immigration Management" app. It is not compatible with my Vivo phone, someone else said their Samsung phone was not compatible either.
Answer summary
The THIM (Thailand Immigration Management) app has faced compatibility issues on various Android devices, with some users reporting it works on newer Samsung models while others cannot install it. There's skepticism about the app's usefulness, as some prefer the traditional website for services like TDAC. Users also highlight concerns over privacy and the steep learning curve for older phone users. The app aims to facilitate immigration processes but currently offers limited features, largely focusing on the TDAC, with a promise of more functions coming in October.

Does THIM require a Google account for Android devices? Please also consider Android users who have deliberately chosen not to have a Google account.

Yes, it is required at the moment.
But you can still submit your TDAC through the web without one.
For example: https://agents.co.th/tdac-apply/ https://tdac.immigration.go.th/

From what I’ve seen, the app currently does need Google Play services to work properly, so having no Google account can be a problem for some Android users. Hopefully, they’ll offer more options or a web version that doesn’t require Google integration soon.

It is simply not acceptable to force everybody into that digital way. It is aggressively creating problems for elderly people not a cool way to go!

How often would people use this app, to warrant keeping it on their phone...expats rarely, tourists maybe once a year....I'd use a website

What does the app do?

This is related to NFC (it's required on the device to use the app), you still can use the tdac website.
We will soon have a free service to help those with older phones where they can just chat with our system to do it as well.

Is this just for TDAC or can you do other things like 90 day report?
Jason ****************
Just dl the apk and bypass the Google play

When a Thai government branch releases an app or a website, you can just assume that it's not going to work properly.
And there doesn't seem to be any actual reason to use this app anyway. The TDAC can be done on the website in 2 minutes.

Is there any added value to this app? Else, not inclined to consider using it. No idea what’s with the trend of having an app for everything that could easily be done on a website. Also no idea why people would use a tiny phone screen to fill a form, when a bigger screen and a keyboard would be much more comfortable. Oh well, I guess I don’t have to understand everything. 😅

Works on my Samsung A14.
