THIM app

Thailand Immigration Management is the official digital platform developed by the Thai Immigration Bureau to modernize and accelerate the entry process for international travelers entering Thailand. It is envisioned as an immigration "super app" that will eventually centralize all visa and compliance services for foreigners. [1, 2, 3]
Key Features
  • Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC): Replaces traditional paper forms by allowing you to submit passport, flight, and accommodation details digitally before landing. [1, 2]
  • One-Time Registration: Once you complete the electronic identity verification (eKYC) with your passport, your profile is saved. Future trips only require you to update flight and hotel info, taking under three minutes. [1, 2]
  • Automated Data Sync: Your pre-filed data links directly to the Immigration Bureau's network. When officers scan your physical passport, your information auto-populates, vastly speeding up manual checkpoint times. [1, 2]
Implementation Timeline
  • Current Status: The app is actively in its national pilot/trial phase and is available for download on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. [1, 2, 3]
  • Official Rollout: The full official launch is scheduled for August 2026, with a broader integration of automated airport smart gates expected by October 1, 2026. [1, 2]
  • Future Expansions: Upcoming features plan to support 15+ languages and introduce expat-focused services, including 90-day reporting, immigration appointments, and visa extensions. [1, 2]
Are you planning a trip to Thailand soon, or are you an expat currently living in the country? I can give you specific instructions on how to set up your profile or explain how this replaces the old entry paperwork.
