Online tm6 form ? Anyone used it ?

[kiever]

Anyone use online tm6 form ? I downloaded app but never used it. any users ?

[Tanoshi]

Didn't know there was a TM6 online App.

Pointless anyway as the TM6 is being withdrawn.

[kiever]

I saw in app store. I think it is easier use than   carry another paper

I have seen reports that were mostly negative about it. Basically it would not work for them.

I personally do not see the need for it since it only takes a few minutes to complete one before arriving.

Regretfully the app stopped working with the upgrade. Shortages on some airlines ( my experience airasia at Cnx from KL) of the cards is frustrating, so cannot be completed in flight before arriving, then when finding a spare card in swampy or DMK etc. and somewhere to complete BEFORE joining the queues of people who have walked past from other airlines or have a spare tm6 completed.

 So while it is necessary the app working would be good ...

Yeah, it's so hard to carry a TM6 stapled inside the passport.

How hard is it to fill in the TM6 at the airport if you by any chance didn't get one onboard? It just takes a few minutes. This must be the most unnecessary app ever.

Except you don't, you fill in more details than by hand and then have to print it out ... pointless.

If guesthouse don not have an E-mail it stops. Is mandatory to fill in.

It's your own email address you put in.

 

I noticed it updated the other day so tried it again but it wouldn't accept whatever I typed in the Flight no./Vehicle no. field, despite entering the same as last time when I completed it successfully (although never managed to print it out).  Anyone else having the same problem?

 

If it would work, I would use it, as I said in the thread linked above:

The app. just allows you to do it at your leisure, automates part of the process and copies information from arrival side to departure side to prevent entry duplication.

I also struggle with scanning the MRZ on my passport so work is still needed there IME.

My E-mail is not accepted. It have to be a Thai mail address

Can you advise what you entered in the Flight no./Vehicle no. field as I can't get past that.

 

What does it say or do that makes you think it must be a Thai email address?  Many Thais (including guesthouses and hotels) use generic hotmail.com or gmail.com addresses so how would they work?

 

On my previous application I used my own one.  On the paper version I use my own one.

Several posters says that the app doesn't work,so why try? Why don't you use the regular TM6 card and keep it stapled in your passport like 99% of the people entering Thailand do? Eventually you have to print it out anyway,so what will you gain from the TM6 app?

I want to print it out!! But not possible if a mandatory field is empty

That doesn't indicate to me it's looking for a Thai address.

 

The app checks data from the top down so your Flight no./Vehicle no. field is being accepted.  Can you tell me what you put in there as that's where I'm getting knocked back?

I have in the past created a completed TM6 and had the form and barcode number generated using the app.  It helps me because I'm normally <deleted> up on the flight and as said before:

You do not submit it. You print it out and use it when you enter the country.

It's just a replacement of the TM6-card you normally get during the flight.

But I am sure there is no window of time to do it since it is not mentioned anywhere as far as I can see,

I just went through it using the online site (https://extranet.immigration.go.th/eTM6Web/).

The last step says confirm. There does not seem to be a window for doing it

[Mr Smithy]

Its easy to complete the form using a pen.

Is hotmail or gmail Thai?

Make sure you get an extra TM6, so you are always one ahead. I fill it out at home and accept the new card for the next time.
