jackson2513 12 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Seeking confirmation of a couple of points regarding the TM.6 Form and whether Immigration has reinstated its use as a matter of post Covid policy or is its use specific to (1) southern land border crossings at Betong and Sadao or (2) due to the recent crackdown on overstays? Context: I'm on a non-O based on Ret w/ a multiple entry and have (...since the country opened "post Covid") been in and out of Thailand and the TM.6 form wasn't used. This past weekend, I went on a bit of a road trip through southern Thailand and Malaysia exiting at the Betong crossing and reentry one day later at the Sadao crossing. I was part of a local group tour. The IMO at Sadao required that I fill out TM.6 as in the "pre Covid" days?! Is the TM.6 a thing again? Thanks in advance.

hotandsticky 5675 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 TM6 not required for arrivals by air. Still required at land borders. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tm6 # etc will not be required by Thai immigration for such things as extensions etc. Yesterday I visited the Ratchaburi IMO to submit an annual ext. of stay application/re-entry permit. (DrJack54) To you point above "...The tm6 # etc will not be required by Thai immigration for such things as extensions etc. ..." it's worth noting that I was asked to provide the TM6 number and a copy of the TM6 form with my application packet. It did feel more like a box-checking exercise than anything else, but I gave the IMO what they asked for and I was in/out in about 20 mins with a new extension stamp and multi/reentry.... Thanks for everyone's comments... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just returned from 2 weeks out of Thailand. Obviously no TM6. If I needed to do an extension today the tm6 would not be required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
