What will happen a few months later if I cannot produce a TM6 at my IO for 90d/extension? I hope they thought this through. This is only for tourists, keep filling in your TM6 until advised otherwise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I just hope they have updated the online 90 day reporting app to delete the requirement to fill in TM6 details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such I get rejected from online reporting. Have you tried the new online reporting system? It no longer asks for your TM6 number. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I hold a PR and have (had?) to comply with the TM6 in the opposite matter, i.e. filling a departure card on leaving and returning the arrival card on the way back to Thailand. Back in 2019 I was in Vientiane some 29 times and crossed the friendship bridge 29 times which meant 29 TM6 cards. To avoid queueing and completing the card in the sun, heat and noise I asked for a few empty cards. The grouchy staff all refused my request and gave me those slips on a one-by-one basis; same inside. I had to ask a flight attendant friend of mine who brought me a whole pile off an aircraft to solve my problem. To this day I wonder, what these retarded ever-so-important-officials thought I would do with all those blank cards. The Laotian side had no issue with the same request, gave me a handful of blanks. It is considerably easier to carbon-copy the content onto a blank paper and then just print said content on blank cards rather than repeating the birthday etc. on both the arrival and departure part of cards. Some fields were (most likely) there just to fill the blank card, as place of birth or birthday tend not to change in most cases ......... but I might be wrong here again ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grandpa Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 Interestingly enough, I did my 90 day report on-line yesterday and there is no place to enter my TM6 number, which I have been doing for the past 10 years. Approved in les than 30 minutes! Looks like that they are now just going by passport number on their system. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 TM6 is out of date... With a good computersystem everything can be checked... your stay, you biometric fingerprints, where you come from and with what airline, as you have to use your passport all the time when you travel... TM6 is just waste of paper.. as all the copies for every extension/applying for residence or whatever you need from the immigration.. How often did we not copied all the same stuff?? They can't scan and make a file of it? and with Thailand Pass again everything in the systems.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingstonkid Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 14 hours ago, Crossy said: A welcome development, maybe they will make it permanent for foreigners as well as Thais. To be honest I'm not really sure just how much delay stamping the TM6 and filing the Arrival half really adds. Of course, when one goes for an extension and doesn't have a TM6 ... That's what I was wondering about seems that it could pose a problem for immigration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemoonpattaya Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 It looks like the TM6 could be replaced by Thai pass, maybe under another name just to confuse the issue. The TM6 is out dated and a nightmare to fill in after a long flight and a few beers. All the information from the passenger can be given online before the flight, doing the same job as immigration do on your arrival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamfalang Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I never had a pen, always made 76 mistakes, needed 8 new forms, had it triple-checked, and still never understood why this is super important that it needs to be stapled in my passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1804 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Maybe they are moving out of the 19th century, I bet no body in the authorities looks at those TM6 cards once stamped anyway so what perhaps do they serve other than in country visa renewals??
