Why can't I access the TDAC on my Samsung Mobile but it works on my PC and Laptop?

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

As others have mentioned, if the official TDAC website is not working for you:

******************************


You can try installing the ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—  ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ, which provides an alternative way to submit your TDAC.

If you are unable to access the official website or install the THIM app for any reason, you can also submit your TDAC through our ๐—”๐—š๐—˜๐—ก๐—ง๐—ฆ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ:

For those who wish to submit earlier, we also offer a manual early submission service for arrivals up to ๐Ÿญ ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, with an $๐Ÿด ๐—จ๐—ฆ๐—— ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—น๐˜† ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ.

There is absolutely ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ to use our platform if the official website or THIM app works for you. We simply provide another option for those experiencing difficulties.

Additionally, you can try using a different mobile browser or even a proxy to access the official website.

We regularly receive reports of connectivity issues from travelers in certain countries, particularly China, where access to the official TDAC website can sometimes be unreliable.

If it opens fine on your laptop, why insist on doing it on your phone? They email you a confirmation with your QR code anyway. Surely you can open emails on your phone?

Ian May No need. The app works fine NOW. And the big advantage is you can fill out everything in advance except for the health declaration, save it, and the app notifies you when you enter into the 3-day window before your trip. You declare that youโ€™ve not visited a yellow fever country and the app files your TDAC. The response comes almost immediately. If called on to provide the QR code, itโ€™s in the app.
