Well, the TM6 wasn't really an issue at all (albeit the waste of paper) as many countries require you to fill in an arrival card. 
 
The TM30 is the nuisance, and I have absolutely no optimism the Thai immigration department will be able to plan, design, create, trial etc etc etc a working app. 

They don't make the app, their cronies do. All created to benefit certain parties. Why would they scrap something bringing millions annually.

Isn’t it a bit cynical to ascribe profit motives to everything done in Thailand?  Greed and corruption aren’t unique to Thailand either. 

 

I got a national ID card and paid less than it cost to make it. 

 

It costs about €3000 to get a drivers license in the Netherlands including the mandatory drivers school training. It the US it’s $50-100+ just for the fee  Here I paid €17. 

 

So some friend or relative of a politician makes a few grand writing an app, same thing happens in every country I’ve lived.

Every single immigration form require you to fill in the TM6 number. Now what?

Doesn't seem streamlined or good news to me, the arrival card was of no real inconvenience you have to fill one in most countries

Plus i have never even heard of a TM28

DO these guys ever discuss among themselves or have an actual

meeting or study before enacting these foolish projects

Maybe not enacting. Maybe just announcing is good enough.
