If you are covered by a Visa exemption then you only need to complete your arrival card online within 3 days of your arrival in Thailand.
You can show immigration the code on your phone when you reach passport control.

All other Visa requests are done on the EVISA website or by visiting an immigration office in Thailand.

Good information!

Note that it is required that all visitors to Thailand must complete a TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) within 3 days before their scheduled arrival date in Thailand. If you miss doing this you can also complete it at the airport - but this means additional delay in passing through immigration. This is also incorporated into the Thailand Immigration Management System (THIM), a mobile app which is currently optional to use.

FWIW, the Philippines has a similar system in which you must register within a 72 hour window prior to your arrival. Upon completing the application, you receive a QR code that you show them.

Great information! I was just looking at what I need to do for my trip from Canada.
Looks like I just need to fill out my arrival card within 3 days of my travel as I am only staying 29 days.

I guess since I last visited, I missed the 60 day exemptions as they now went back to 30 days. Also missed legal Cannabis.
I did manage to take advantage of the direct flights from Vancouver, Canada to Bangkok on Air Canada.

See you all in October...
