When I fly from Siem Reap to Thailand, no TM6 has to be completed at DMK.

When I drive from Siem Reap to Thailand via the Choam - Sisaket land border I have to complete a form TM6.

What don't you understand. 

Entry via air NO TM6 required.

Entry via land SOME crossings Do require TM6. (simple quick form to fill in)

While you are probably the successor to UbonJoe (RIP), I'd suggest you could use some of his patience with posters.

Bit off topic but good chance to acknowledge the great man ubonjoe.

I'm not even remotely can be described as expert.

Many guys better than my knowledge on this forum

Why so nasty? Specially for him? Burma Bill has been great source of info.

What does it matter if double postings now and then?

Just relax.

And thank you for being a mode.

So, they don't care about one's address anymore? (In the past they were, at times, very insistent on having the exact hotel address on the TM6.)

... and the space to put the address was tiny relative to Thai addresses.  I used to hand the IO a business-card for my condo building, and they were visibly relieved to have a legible source, which they seemed to input into their system.

 

I would suggest anyone entering have a printed address to show an IO, if asked.

I still have mine from 2020 and doing my 90 days last week at Jomtien Immigration there was still a place for Arrival card.

For my marriage extensions I still have to submit signed copies of my card from my last entry in 2011!

As a rule of thumb, if you do have an arrival card, immigration still expects you to fill in the number and provide copies. As it's recorded in their system.

Mr Briggsy,

you are very far behind the time. Arrival cards are since long time not in use anymore. You are, as many farangs. very poor informed about comming to Thailnd.

 

As has already been mentioned, some land border crossings still require them.  My wife had to complete one at Chom Mek a month ago.

Last year, they also insisted on signed copies of the 90-day next due date slip.

When I asked why, and what rule applied, they got quite nasty and decided I needed more house photos and other BS documents.

I now play along with their silly games.

They're getting high tech, I flew out of Swampy 5 weeks ago, I was ushered by a very friendly smiling young woman to an e-passport auto gate, no need to line up at an immigration counter and no need to get an exit stamp in my PP.
