Summary
Amazon Web Services announced that Thailand’s new immigration management platform, THIM, has been built on AWS cloud infrastructure in partnership with the Thailand Immigration Bureau and Digital Identity Co., Ltd. The web and mobile application allows international travelers to complete arrival registration digitally before entering Thailand, helping reduce checkpoint wait times and streamline immigration procedures.

THIM currently supports English, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian languages. The system uses AI-powered passport OCR, cloud-based computing, and advanced security services to improve both efficiency and national security.

Thai authorities said the platform represents a major step in modernizing immigration services for the country’s roughly 30 million annual international visitors. Future features will include appointment booking, visa extension services, and issuance of immigration-related documents.
