Lost TM 6 arrival card, need visa extension

[thegurunick]

Hello, I was planning on going into Buriram immigration next week to get another covid extension but realized today that I am missing my TM 6 arrival card. I do not have copies of it.

 

Will immigration give me a new arrival card? Should I get a police report before I go? Thanks for your help.

They will give you a new TM6.

Some offices want a police report for the lost the TM6. Not sure if Buriram wants one.

To save time it might be best to get the police report.

Just been reading this is the last covid extension they will be doing,  last one 26th of this month.

That is from the MFA spokesman. The MFA has nothing to do with extensions of stay (visas are not extended). And a quote of what somebody said means nothing.

Immigration issues the extension so they are the only official source for info.

Not correct.

They can only give you a replacement blank TM6 card with a new number on it.

Hi guys, I am currently on a 30 days tourist visa. I am looking forward to extend my visa when it expired and I need to immigration office at Udon Thani. I need good advise, should I apply for the 30 days extension or the 60 days covid extension first ? Much appreciated guys.

When I lost mine, they gave me a new one to fill out and hand wrote the old number on it. They seemed to draw the old number from their computer system. Si Saket immigration...

A 30 day tourist visa does not exist. You apparently got a visa exempt entry that at this time should of been for 45 days at this time not 30 days. Check your arrival stamp to confirm the date you are stamped to.

Most immigration offices will not issue a 60 day covid 19 extension of stay until after you apply for the 30 day extension.

It can be replaced. This is why they usually staple them into your passport.

Isn´t that something that will replace the lost one? I do think that was the meaning of the post. After that, they can actually give you the information that was on your old TM6 cards as well, if you do not remember, as they have it in their data base if you been in there before.

Immigration lost mine, when I noticed I went back (Jomtien office) they looked it up on the computer and wrote the number in my passport.  I then filled out a new TM6, had no issues when I next departed.

You didn't need to do any of that. Departing country is different to ongoing need for TM6 within Thailand. 

The ground staff often checking departure folk in queue to check if have TM6.

If not they simply give you one.

An idea for the future:

 

make a colored copy of this card and save the paper in your IMMI-folder i.e.

I have cut it out and you will see no difference to the original !

The 45 days visa exempt is no longer valid with effect 1st Oct. The Thai Embassy Singapore rejected my COE application for the 45 days visa exempt and was told to change to 30 visa instead. They have approved my COE after I make the amendment. Thanks for the sharing Ubonjoe.

They might do a last minute extension of the order for the 45 day entries. Keep checking to find out what they do.

Does anyone know if Jomtien require a police report?
