At your age can you not use the priority immigration lines?

I usually do, but in following the crowd found my self among barriers being pushed in one direction; it won't happen again. I have a number of (younger) visitors annually so I figured to test the waters on their behalf.

Is it my the Permisdion to say number or the reentry permit number. On the old TM6 form it was the reentry permit number. Years ago when first moved here I put the permis ion to say (non o) renew number and io told me it needs to be the rentry permit number. But on TDAC it called visa number?

@Maestro answered, it would be the visa number, not the reentry number. But he wrote this before TDAC was started.

There must be some actual experiences by now?

Do they want visa number or reentry number?

I have always used the reentry number, both before TDAC and since it started. I don't actually think that anyone cares what you enter, it's an optional field and many/most arrivals will leave it blank in any case.

It's an optional field.

If you enter Thailand with a visa then you could type that.

If (like myself) enter with reentry permit then type that.

Nothing has changed from TM6 days

What actual experience? The information you put into the TDAC is not checked. Who would have experience with what? The only thing the immigration officer sees, and the only thing they care about, is if you submitted a TDAC. There is no one to give any feedback or experience beyond getting into Thailand. Not to mention it's an optional field that you can just leave blank, and it still won't be checked because no one checks it.

Interesting

With TM6, I got scolded by the IO when I wrote the visa number and they changed it to reentry number

Well all this TDAC information is going to be null and void.

Thailand have come up with a new app THIM which replaces the TDAC and will also allow other immigration procedures at a later date. I downloaded it and it looks excellent.

https://www.nationthailand.com/business/tech/40066783

This link explains the new app in detail.

THIM (Thailand Immigration Management System) is the official digital immigration platform launched by the Royal Thai Police and the Immigration Bureau of Thailand. The mobile app is designed to replace paper forms and streamline the border entry process for international travelers, bringing registration time down to under three minutes. [1, 2, 3]

Key Features and Benefits

• Digital Arrival/Departure Card: Completely eliminates the need for paper TM.6 forms. Travelers fill out their arrival details before landing.

• One-Time Registration: Uses AI-powered passport scanning to save your e-KYC profile, meaning you only need to update minimal information on subsequent trips.

• Group Applications: Families and travel groups can submit all travelers’ details together.

• Fast-Tracked Entry: Once you submit the digital form, immigration officers immediately see your registration on their end, making the physical passport check highly efficient. [1, 2, 3]

Future "Super App" Updates

Immigration authorities are rolling the app out in phases. Future planned updates to the platform will eventually allow long-term residents and expats to process their 90-day address reporting, book appointments, and apply for visa extensions digitally without needing to visit an immigration office in person. [1]

Where to Download

The app is entirely free and available to download on official app stores. Make sure you are downloading the official version developed by the Royal Thai Police: [1, 2]

• Download on Google Play

It doesn't REPLACE TDAC. It's literally just another way to submit your TDAC. It's the same exact thing, it just stores some of the information if you don't want to enter your name and passport number etc. The website will remain and you can submit a TDAC that way. You can also submit a TDAC through the app. They are both still TDAC, and they both still give you the same QR code as proof.

Seems to work ok as far as it goes but currently seems to be missing the ability to save a profile for use each time. It does save trip information and can be filled months in advance, but you need to update the health declaration within 72 hours of travel to get your QR code. A work in progress.

That seems much less useful than I expected. Even TVC's TDAC website saves all of your personal information between sessions. Definitely needs work if they don't have that yet.

Definitely. If you go to log out it warns that your information will be lost unless you create an account. But there appears to be no way to do that.
