Crossy Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Should be no issue, did it myself in the past and worried all the way to the airport, pick up a new card from the racks near immigration and fill it in (lose the arrival portion). You may want to tell the officer that you've lost the original before he asks why the numbers don't match with your arrival record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antony77 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I had really big problems when I lost mine. I had to go to the airport and get a copy before I could extend my retirement visa. It took hours. I suggest you get to the airport three hours before your flight just in case they make you get a new one which might take some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 It is not a big deal on exit and should not take more than a couple extra minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauswernst198 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) If you are exiting the country it is not an issue and dont worry However if you wanna extend a visa you have to file a police report at a local police station about the missing card than go to immigration with the form you got from the police pay 1000 Baht to get a new one before you finally can apply for the extension Went through this last week Edited October 13, 2010 by klauswernst198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've lost my departure card and heard you were supposed to go to the police and get some sort of report. Is this not the case? I'm leaving next week and don't want any hassle nor delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Have never done so and believe it is still normally just taken care of at the departure immigration check of airport for normal travelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I found a few old threads and the consensus was to show up at the airport and fill out a new card. I know a hotel lost mine but they insist they didn't and that they didn't photocopy arrival and departure card, which seems unusual for a 5 star hotel to not photocopy said documents.

Maestro Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hotels are not required to photocopy any details in your passport but many do. They must, however, report details from your passport to immigration with the form TM.30, including the "Arrival card TM.No.", meaning the departure card stapled in your passport. If the hotel retains a copy of this report it should be able to look up and give you these details in case of loss of your passport or departure card.

Phatcharanan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I lost mine 4 months ago and needed to fly to KL. It wasn't a problem. I filled out a new one. Process took about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5346 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 hi, i lost one once and all that happened was the thai immigration man at the check point looked up my name on the computer and found out my original number then we filled in another card - crossed off one number and hand wrote my original one in. all i would do if i were you is to get another card and fill as much of it in as you can cross off the number and tell the man as your exiting. good luck, chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
