Is T.m. 6 scrapped

[Felt 35]

This is probably asked and answered before but I cant find it now so I allow me to ask if T.m. 6 is scrapped? If so what are we on extension going to do with 90 days reports etc., when as myself travelling out in a few days and plan to return in October and then also most likely will need to re-register my address!

In advance thank you.

Something like yes. Tm6 has actually nothing to do with your 90 day report.

Why would you need to "re-register" your address.

Assume you mean file TM30.

That would not be required if returning on same visa or reentry permit.

TM6 was temporarily suspended on July 2.

It would not be required for 90 day report etc.

Came through BKK yesterday. No TM6 required.

[Thailand J]

Came through Sadao a few days ago, TM.6 required.

[thailand49]

I think his question is valid?  I've been doing my 90 online I remember they asking for your entry date and the TM6 number. 

I just got my 90 day reminder, but I had just return from overseas July 25th, as noted no TM6 needed 90 days from my arrival online?

They are still using them at land border crossings. By air they do not do them any more.

The TM6 number is not required for 90 day online report. You cannot give them a TM6 number if you do not have one.

Ignore the 90 day report reminder and count 90 days from the day you entered the country and be sure you put your new arrival date when you do the report.

My last TM 6 stub is still in my passport, so immigration left it there on my last exit.

I flew back in to Thailand recently through Suvarnabhumi. No TM 6 required. When I queried this with the immigration officer he assured me that no details of a TM 6 would be required for my next renewal of my Retirement visa.

Well, Rayong are most certainly not one of them, based on my experience of obtaining my latest retirement extension there 3 weeks ago, 10 days after I had re-entered Thailand from a foreign trip and Immigration at BKK Arrivals hadn't been interested in the slightest in the TM6 which I had dutifully completed after it had been handed out during my return flight.

 

And, if the lack of a TM6 at extension of stay time was proving problematical at other offices, surely we would have begun to read reports about this on here by now. I certainly cannot recall any such reports!

Having returned to Thailand in June with a reentry permit on a valid Non-O extension, I was given a tongue lashing by Phetchabun immigration for not reporting back to the condo I have lived in for five years.  I went to immigration a week after returning to phetchabun after spending a few days in Bangkok at a hotel that did file my stay with Immigration. 

 

They wanted to know why I didn't come to immigration within the required 24 hours of returning to Thailand.  I pointed out the hotel stay, they could see that but then wanted to know where I was after leaving the hotel.  I told them my condo.  They kept insisting I had to go to immigration within 24 hours.  I apologized many times and told them I forgot.  I mentioned that i returned to the same address as before.  It didn't matter.

 

Anyway, I guess I am saying (like many others), it all depends on the office you are dealing with.

Indeed. 

We are all at immigration beckon call.

The office you refer to are wrong.

I seem to recall ubonjoe post a link to the change in rules regarding TM30. 

Of course even if you had print out in Thai they would probably still insist on it. 

Morons.

I believe the immigration office is wrong.   But I do what I can to stay on their good side.

If you say so, have you not observed how each immigration office treats the requirements differently based upon posts herein these pages.  Just like the combo method of bank account and then monthly income?

Indeed I have.

 

 

Until we get first hand reports of anything 'different' happening, then it is isn't happening.

Read report by @AKJeff above.

seems pretty first hand to me.

Or Jomtien requiring folk to return 90 days after obtaining extension.

 

OR the various offices that require funds in bank for 3 months prior to extension rather than the correct 2 months.

etc etc.

All of which have NOTHING to do with the TM6.

 

Get me a first hand report of any Immigration office creating an issue for anyone who does not have a TM6.

 

I'll wait.......

Understood. But what about when you go for your retirement extension? A photocopy has always been required. I've read that some immigration officials seem to do their own thing and ignore directives from above.

I don't recall any posts of somebody being asked for a TM6 if they entered on or after July 2nd.

I think the order canceling them temporarily as been sent to all offices by now.

Just returned back to Thailand from the UK, 1 week ago & no TM6 required. In fact they have placed notices, just before the Immigration desks, stating that it has been suspended. Straight through Immigration in less than a minute, using my re-entry stamp, no hassles at all.

After a couple of days at home, i needed to renew my Non 'O' "retirement' Visa & this was also completed with zero hassle, at Jomtien office. Just the usual paperwork, photo, Bank stuff etc required.

i left thailand on 22 june  a few days before i collected my re entry visa from immigration the person who gave it to me stated strictly report within 24 hours of return..i asked my wife ti go in a few days later to confirm this because its going to be difficult to get back to where i live and report in that time  again they said yes must report

I did my 90 day on line last week and there no longer is a request for your TM6 number. Took 3 days for approval receipt. My question about the TM6 is if it will still be required for Non-IMM O visa renewals. I just renewed mine in May which was just before the announcement of TM6 not required for tourists…. Note; Tourists not long term visa holders.
