THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I am having trouble doing the visa
The site I went to keep saying it can’t go through and my friend has found a site but it is $100 to do it. Can someone please help me? This is a message I keep doing and it’s three days before I leave.

I was never asked to show mine. I was worried because I could not locate it in my emails and everyone in line had their phones open with the Q code showing. I assumed that it must go straight through to immigration when it is completed and appears on the screen of the officer who stamps you into the country.John ***********

Nobody cared in mine - Australia and flying Thai Airways.Dennis **********

TDAC is an arrival card - not a visa. There are many sites out there that charge but the official one is free. See link above.
Garry ******
Don't fall for this scam, it should be free and painless.
Nigel *******
You are on the wrong site, there is no payment. Find the official Thai government site. It is free to do, but not more than 72 hours before you arrive.
Jan ******************
Use this link and it’s free
**************************************************
Graeme ******
Wrong website the tdac is free if you use the thai official website
Stuart *********
Don’t know what site you’re on but it’s not the official site. The official site is free.
