allane Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 A friend has lost his TM6 Arrival Card. What, if anything, does he need to do before his eventual departure ? Is there a fine applicable ? He lives in Petchburi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 No problem, people lose this all the time, he just has to fill out a new one at the airport before leaving the country 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorJorge Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I started stapling these to my passport pages. Only in Thailand would they give you a 2"x2" document and tell you to hang onto it until you leave the country. Make sure he's up to date on his TM30s when he leaves Thailand. That will give them one less reason to complain 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time. Grab card ( often assist personal in line provide them) take a pen and fill in. As Jack advised zero issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration on departure from the country do not check for or care about TM30 reporting. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beddhist Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 What if I need to apply for an extension at an IO, where a copy of this card is required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration can give you a new TM6 card. Do you have a copy of the lost one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kismet Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Try not to staple your card or any other documents to your passport. It was reported in the foreign press, that certain countries will reject your passport, if it has been stapled. Please take note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beddhist Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 No, I don't have a copy. IIRC the only people who ever stapled anything to my passport were Thai IOs. I hate staples and don't own a stapler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the only people who ever stapled anything to my passport were Thai IOs. I hate staples and don't own a stapler. Don't staple anything in your passport as it can damage the passport page when a careless official takes it out (and might cause trouble when using that damaged passport). I suggest using a paper-clip in order not to lose the card, and remove that paper-clip when handing over the passport. As mentioned in earlier posts losing the departure-part of the TM-6 card isn't a big problem as IO will provide you with a new one when applying for a service where it is required at your local IO, or at immigration when leaving the country. But it is inconvenient since you won't be able to do an on-line 90-day report or an on-line TM-30 filing, without providing the correct and unique number on the TM-6 card with which you entered Thailand. In case of passport loss I always make a photo of my last entry stamp with the permission to stay date, as well as a front-back photo of the TM-6 card.

USNret Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I arrived in Thailand 11 January on V-E (I'm American). Since then, I've done a 30-day extension, then converted to non-O (marriage), and just submitted for my 1-year extension. All at CW. I do not have a TM6, nor a TM30. Nobody asked during any of those visits, and nobody cared. I did ask at CW about getting a replacement TM6. They told me quite definitively they will not do it; I can get a replacement at the airport. So I've just ignored it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
