BritTim Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) I am not sure what you are referring to. I have never seen anything stapled into your passport when you get an extension at an immigration office. Are you referring to the TM6 (currently suspended) that was previously used whenever you entered Thailand, and assuming that is connected in some way with the 30 days from a visa exempt entry you were given when you arrived in Thailand? If so, that card is removed by immigration at the airport or land crossing when you leave the country.

Popular Post 2baht Posted October 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2022 Of course you can remove it, but don't lose it. I thought they had discarded the silly method of stapling things in the passport, obviously not! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have since returned on the 45 day deal and no mention of the missing receipt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes up the best part of a page. Guess when I either leave or do a 90 day report I can remove it. If the latter and done in person I presume the IO would remove it and staple in a new one.

Given that it's illegal. nonsense .... I've had dozens of folded papers removed that were stapled in my passports, as long as you keep what's relevant to your situation it's not a problem. Of course you cannot touch or alter visa stamps or stickers as that's illegal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Yes, they always stapled the receipt into my passport in Jomtien. I left it there. Once , arriving back in France the immigration officer was quite shocked by the habit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a silly habit that some Thai immigration officers do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's just a thing that annoys me.. Some folk staple their 90 report receipt in pp. Some also TM30. Also TM6 by io when they were being issued. It's nuts. Wednesday I go for my annual extension. I will not present report receipt. Nothing to do with extensions. I will not provide a TM30 as I have never done one since living in Thailand. This will be at CW and I will do a report for others. Of course with anything, I always ask with respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
