Popular Post ubonjoe Posted July 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2018 You can get a new TM6 departure card when you check in for you flight. They have them since many people lose them. No fine for losing it. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Nothing to worry about. If you can’t get one at the airline check-in (didn’t know they have them) just hand your passport over to the IO at passport control and they will sort it out.

jaiyen Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Have done it before. Not a problem. All the information is on the computer at immigration. I didn't even fill in another card. Might be better to do so, cos they love paperwork ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJAS Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I suspect that we are going to read on here of many more incidences of departure cards being mislaid as a result of the recently-introduced, considerably smaller version! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen them handed to people when checking in that did not have one. I can recall a recent post of somebody being sent back to the check in desk at the pre screening for international departures to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnock Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Yep - just fill in the relevant half from a new card, and hand that over. I've done it a few times. (... and on that new TM6 - what do you say for the State and Country where you live, and your reason for visit .... I live in Thailand, and I'm here for work, with work permit and Non-imm etc?)

Rawairat Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I made a mistake on my sons departure card once and asked for another and was berated by the officer for wasting cards, I was stunned such a driver for non waste amongst all the buearcratic paper wasting in Thailand.

RocketDog Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I hope that many TVF members truly appreciate the value of having informed members who vigilantly monitor changing immigration issues and law in Thailand. Thanks to this core of experts we other members can mumble vague and confusing questions and receive almost instantaneous and verifiable answers. I know that myself and many others are grateful for the efforts of UbonJoe, Elviajero, and others. Thank you one and all Guys/Ladies. And please continue your work! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
