Do we still have to fill out the TM6 form as we enter Thailand. You know, the form they - around last August I think - said was shortly to be abolished?

Yes.

 

Moved to the Visa and Immigration forum.

As of last December, was still required

they must have rented another warehouse ????

There is an app for it, though as I am still in Thailand I cannot test it out as it will only let you enter data for an outgoing form once you have an incoming form. 
 

You fill in all the usual information then print your arrival card yourself.

That's interesting and new news to me. How nice of them, bringing up to date a form that many countries abolished years ago as no longer necessary. However, I always carry a 'form in advance' so can still fill one out, as they put it, in the comfort of my home or office ???? Thanks.

Yes. Required by all non Thai citizens.

A link to the app please. 

So you print your TM6 at home, before you fly in, give the IO the arrival part, keep the departure bit in your passport to give to the IO on departure, yes?

TM6 is required for Thais too.

I have found this link but it is an Android App only and it appears by some of the comments that it does not work.

The one I show is an iOS app. As I mentioned I haven’t been able to try it out yet so i have no idea if it functions.

It is on the Apple App Store and not difficult to find.

Thanks, got it on Playstore. But it looks like you do it once for arrival, and again for departure. Do you not keep a bit in your passport?

There is also a website to do it. https://extranet.immigration.go.th/eTM6Web/

Why would you bother? Takes a couple of minutes to fill out on the plane.

Yes. Bear in mind you will also need the number on the TM6 if you change your address.

Could not find it on the App Store on my iPhone; could you name the full name of the app so I could find it please?

Agree completely. The crew hand out tm6 before they even start food service. Takes 2 minutes. What's the fuss over zip.

Probably eTM6.

That is what it named for android.

Stick to 2 minutes on the plane.

You've spent an hour looking for the App already.

The search string is “royal thai police”

 

???? Or you can try this ???? if you don’t like searching the App Store

Quite agree - relieves the boredom of the flight too - bonus!

Yeah, it's so difficult to fill in the TM6-card while onboard the airplane.

Unfortunately, for some, though, the flight experience appears to be so full of riveting, nail-biting excitement that they completely overlook the need to complete the form until they are face-to-face with the IO in Arrivals. I've found myself stuck in a queue behind such people quite a few times over the years.????

Yeah and none of those useless morons ever carries a pen! ????

Not sure if you're being sarcastic for no reason at all, or if you agree with me that's more comfortable doing in at home rather than in a cramped peasants-class seat on the plane. If you prefer the latter, I'm fine with that, as I'm sure you're fine with me filling the form out in advance.

No,it's not.
