TM6 was still required at some borders in 2023 and 2024

I was in Laos September 2023 which required a completed TM6 form

The government has suspended the requirement for foreigners who enter Thailand by land or sea to fill out TM 6 immigration forms from April 15 until Oct 15.

The cabinet approved the suspension on April 9 in response to a proposal by Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, ministry spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul said on Friday.

Enough with the back story to TM6 no longer being required.

Why not wait until it's been officially announced? Anything now is just speculation or cause for anxiety.

So why does no other country use one? Or require you to report to immigration within 24 hours of arrival?

 

The hoops we have to jump through are a fricken joke, e.g. 90 day reporting, annual extensions, and if that's not enough, like you said, report to immigration within 24 hours of arrival.

 

The part is the best part I look forward to, i.e. drive 90km to these bozos to say, hey, I'm back, then drive 90 kilometres back, thanks for nothing.

What about those that do not possess a mobile phone? Will the old written method be in operation?

When you fill out an MDAC online before arriving in Malaysia, your entry details are stored digitally, eliminating the need for a physical stamp in your passport.

No entry or exit stamps so no worries if your passport pages are nearly full

 

I want my passport stamped so I can prove to the taxman where I was and when.
