Arrival and departure cards cancelled (Myanmar Times)

Arrival/Departure form is cancelled. You still need to fill up custom declaration form on arrival though.

So many developing countries are taking this step. So much easier on arrivals, no searching for a pen and reading glasses and it speeds up the time going in and out.

Well, in Thailand this is not possible. The 30+ million tourists (so lied upon us by the Tourism Authority of Thailand) feed thousands of Somchais with these cards. 

Do away with these cards and you generate a lot of unemployment.

On a more sombre note, those days are gone. In Thailand only the non-Thais complete this form TM6 and I always wondered, if/what they could decipher from shaky hand writing by foreign hands ......... 

Vietnam stopped them about three years ago, they have computers, and know how to use them

I meant with my remark, that thousands of "officials" are busied with punching in illegible information from these cards, stapling them into passports etc. 

The printer's goose laying golden eggs is a different (albeit most likely true) story 8-) 

Arrival/departure cards still need to be filled in when arriving/departing at land borders.
