THIM Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
Question 1: What should I do if THIM prompts that the device is incompatible and cannot be installed?
Answer: This problem often occurs in old devices or devices with abnormal NFC function. THIM operation requires the device to support NFC function, and phones with Android 10 and below old systems and no NFC hardware cannot adapt. You can update the mobile system and app store cache first. If it still cannot be installed, you can use the official TDAC web version in Thailand to complete the entry registration, with completely identical functions.
Question 2: Can the entry information filled in by THIM be modified?
Answer: Before submission, you can edit and modify all itinerary and personal information at any time. If the submission is successful but has not been cleared, you can enter "My Filling Record", click on the corresponding record and select "Edit and Modify". After modification, you can resubmit without having to fill in all the information again. The operation is very flexible.
Question 3: Can one device register the entry information of multiple people?
Answer: Yes, the new version * * THIM * * supports multi file saving function. Under a personal account, 5 commonly used personal files and 20 backup travel files can be saved. The entry information of friends, family members, and companions can be registered and saved uniformly, without the need for multiple people to download and register separately, greatly improving the efficiency of multi person travel registration.
Interpretation of the Core Content of THIM Privacy Agreement
1. Scope of Information Collection: * * THIM * * only collects necessary information for users to enter the country, including passport information, personal identity information, Thailand itinerary and accommodation information, flight information, and will not read unrelated permissions such as phone contacts, photo albums, positioning, microphones, etc. without authorization. Permission access only serves the core function of entry registration and does not require additional permissions.
2. Information usage rules: All information provided by users is only used for immigration verification and immigration data statistics at Thai airports. It can only be accessed by official departments of the Thai Immigration Bureau and will not be used for commercial promotion, information sales, precision marketing, or other purposes. The entire process of information usage is compliant and transparent.
3. Information retention time: After the user completes the entry and customs clearance, the system will regularly archive and retain the registration information in accordance with the Thai entry and exit data management standards. If the retention time exceeds the compliance limit, it will be automatically desensitized and cleared, and the user's personal privacy data will not be permanently retained, maximizing the security of user information.
The editor tested the real user experience and revealed the shortcomings of THIM
The editor recently tested the latest version of THIM, which has a complete usage process. The overall operation is smooth, with passport recognition, information submission, and voucher generation taking only about 3 minutes. It fully realizes paperless entry declaration, and the airport clearance verification time can be shortened to less than 40 seconds, greatly reducing waiting time and practicality. The software supports multiple languages such as Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean, adapts to the usage habits of domestic users, has a simple interface without redundant functions, and has zero difficulty in getting started.
At the same time, some shortcomings were also found in the actual testing. Firstly, the device adaptation is limited. Old and low-end models and devices without NFC function cannot be installed and operated normally. Some Android devices will flash back directly after turning off NFC function; Secondly, network adaptation is generally average. In weak network environments overseas, the speed of information submission will significantly slow down, and occasional data loading delays may occur; In addition, the software is still in the trial operation stage, and some niche models may have minor issues with page adaptation misalignment. The official expects to complete a comprehensive optimization upgrade by August 2026. Overall, the core entry registration function of the software is stable and usable, and minor flaws do not affect normal customs clearance. It is a high-quality official tool for entering Thailand.
