TDAC Buddy makes multiple visits to Thailand a breeze, remembering your details on your private iCloud account so subsequent TDAC applications are a few clicks away. All foreign visitors to Thailand must submit an application for a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering the country. An online form is available, but many fields must be completed for every application. The immigration service has now introduced their THIM app, which can remember more information, but remains complicated and does not work on macOS. TDAC Buddy is built and designed by a frequent traveller for frequent travellers. It is not an “official” app, and is not endorsed in any way by the Thai immigration authorities. It just provides a convenient way to use their website and store your details for future trips. For frequent travelers, keep your passport and favorite hotel details privately in TDAC Buddy, making each new TDAC application quick and easy. For foreign residents, when you enter your Visa number you don’t need to enter any departure information. Your TDAC is stored in your iCloud and synced between iPhone, iPad and Mac devices. View your TDAC using the app, by clicking on an approved trip, or in the TDAC Buddy folder in your iCloud using the Apple Files app. Updates can also be made after a TDAC has been approved. Your information is stored only on your device and in your private iCloud. Your trip information is sent to the Thai Immigration when you Preview and when you Submit a TDAC application.
