Nope not that. VPN was turned off, so Thailand is the country where the server is located. Searched again and still not there.

It's on the UK Google Play Store - I'm in UK using my standard UK phone / SIM

Shan't bother with it until I've planned my next trip, by which time it'll doubtless have changed in some way, but then I'll install it on my Thai phone.

bits and pieces that paint a digital, connected environment including facial photos, fingerprints are supposed to eliminate a ton of paper forms, while rooms are filled with supposed paper trails that are never used. And remember to sign each sheet !

And in BLUE ink...!!!

No use for those who do not own a smartphone due to medical disabilities! (yes, there are still a few of us).

However, in my case no problem as I have to use a wheelchair and on arrival in Thailand I am escorted from the aircraft directly through the VIP channel at Thai Immigration, presenting my passport and TDAC form. Very quick and no hassle.

So true, I was having a drink with a fellow Englishman on holiday a week or so ago. He was telling me that he has just bought Elon Musks satellite internet in order to get 35mbps. He said a lot of places in UK only have about 10mbps. When I told him my broadband averages 300mbps up load and download for around 500 Baht a month he nearly cried, and I am in the back of beyond.

I have a 1.5gb down fiber optic system with a 1gb up speed. Amazing speed. And very consistent. With True.

I also average 175mb on my cell. I am lucky if I get 30mb in the US. At twice the price. Asia rules. The US is falling behind.

Just searched for it (29th May 2026), 1 day after you claim it was launched, on both Apple & Android phones. Nothing there yet.

Maybe in your Apple App Store region it will be available later.

TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) = The requirement itself.
It's the digital form that replaced the old paper TM6 arrival card. You must submit your details (passport, flight, accommodation, etc.) before arriving in Thailand.

THIM (Thai Immigration Management System) = The new mobile app launched on 28 May 2026.
It’s essentially a better, dedicated mobile interface for submitting the TDAC.

The main difference is the current TDAC is a one-time use online form, nothing is saved so a complete new submission is needed on each entry. The new THIM is a multiple-use online form that can be updated with only the new arrival info as passport and visa status is retained but can be updated when visa and/or 90-day report due days change.

The naysayers will have a field day with this for sure, especially the ones who NEVER leave Thailand and despise change. You know who you are.

It appears to be an app to store your details instead of entering the same stuff every visit which seems like a good idea? How do you use it to exit Thailand? I just downloaded it and it seems typically obscure, on the settings page there is the option to 'Log out' but nowhere to edit your details that you <may> have been logged in with? PS. I'm leaving in two days time so can I use it to speed my exit?

No app required. Just a passport scan at the immigration area.

Have to wait and see I think this system only works if Immigration already has a scanned copy of your passport either via existing E-Visa application or your passport has already been scanned on a previous visit

The app is available now for pilot downloads and uses an electronic know your customer (KYC) process to verify user information against passport details.

Sounds like person using THIM will be required to upload picture of themselves and that picture will be match against Immigration database

so 1st time visa exempt or VOA arrivals will be excluded from THIM

I used it when I flew out a couple of weeks ago and it was very smooth and there were no lines.

Good on Thailand for this, if only backwards nations like America would start using advanced systems, that would be amazing.

So now in addition to immigration, 5G networks and fiber optic are three times faster in Thailand than they are in America at a third the price, that's what I call progress.

Judging by the number of thumbs down, it appears that there are alot of embarrassed Americans on this forum.

It is available for download. Anybody arriving in the coming weeks?

Yup, 4th next month. Download app this morning and besides a few minor issues I find it very user-friendly. Great to have as much as possible related to IM in one place and look forward to the arrival experience

did you use this new on line system or just the automated gate when you left? I understood that the new on line system isnt up and running yet

Only the automated gate scan. It was wonderful.

Try here....https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=th.go.immigration.thim

But don't panic, TDAC works just fine.

Since it was only introduced on 28th May and its when you fly in, not out, its very strange you used it??

When you depart, you no longer need to see an immigration officer. Just a much preferred scan and you are on your way.

Those dates are RELEASE dates NOT launch dates. Below see extract from press release referred to in #3.:

"Amazon Web Services (AWS), Digital Identity Co Ltd and the Thai Immigration Bureau have partnered to develop the Thailand Immigration Management System (THIM), the country's first web and mobile platform for this sector.

The app is designed to modernise immigration services for Thailand, which receives roughly 30 million foreign visitors a year, with Bangkok ranked the world's most-visited city by international arrivals in 2025.

THIM is scheduled to launch on Oct 1, developed by Digital Identity and leveraging AWS cloud services."

Great clarification. Thanks.

This answers my last post and why Google Play store doesn’t yet have the App for Android.

Will just use the TDAC as usual on return mid June

I don't believe that's the real app, especially as the launch date isn't until October. I've been searching under THIM & Thailand Immigration Management System on both of my phones (Android & Apple). and no app displays as available for download & install. I've even had my wife search her phones in Thai, and again NOTHING.

Certainly available in Google Play Store (I'm in Thailand if that makes a difference) claims to have last been updated 24th of April 2026.

@Upnotover , regarding log out.

No problem, you can log in as if you just installed the app and on home page under upcoming trips, select view more and go to join trip.

Trip id, in the email that they sent you, and

Passport number and your trip will be displayed

Interesting, did you get any kind of 'welcome' eMail when you first opened the app after installation? Is the 'Trip ID' something obvious like your TDAC number or?

Yep. Your link shows it ...BUT on hitting Download, it states "not available for any of your devices"

I turned off my VPNe even. No good.

Maybe this is an Apple only app?

No, it works on my Android. Is your Google/playstore account set to Thailand? Anyway, as you've said, TDAC works fine,

I am in Switzerland. Using the Google App Store I could download the App. First search was for THIM, that one did not work. However using THIM Thailand did work. App looks ok to me. I will fill in all details for my next trip when I got my tourist visa.

When you submit a trip plan you immediately get an email confirming the following details.

Note that you need to go back into the trip to complete the health declaration within 72 hours of arrival.

Departure date is FROM Thailand, not from your point of origin. It's optional anyway, leave it blank.

That is a dream that will take decades... Thailand and especially Thai Immigration like to have copies.. The more the better. Even for 90 days reporting.... They have never heard of scan documents I believe,

At Phitsanulok IO, I do not need to fill in a form for 90 days, the Officer simply puts my Passport into a reader and up comes all my details. Print out the silly slip of paper they then STAPLE, (oh no!) into the back of said Passport, together with my TM30.

Hopefully it means that we no longer need to fill in all the forms for visa extension and visit the immigration office but only tick a box online that nothing has changed from last year and smile online.

And pay your Bht 1900 via QR code of course.

No. It asks the same questions and provides the same QR code. Both work (for now).

I was just reading about the digital entry/exit for foreigners coming to or leaving the EU. It sounds like an absolute horror-show. Glad I've no inclination to travel to Europe. Did that in the 1950s when I was a kid. Anyway, hopefully Thailand's "digital immigration system" will fare better than the EU's.

What about travellers who get in with a re-entry permit?

I mean, shouldn’t they wait for the IO to stamp it off?
