perthperson Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 She might be asked for a police report detailing the loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine somehow got removed when I did a reentry permit at swampy. When I got to the immigration counter, the officer saw it was not there. He just asked me to fill in a new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james512 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I've lost one before as well and I didn't notice until I was in line at the immigration desks. As others have said, they just gave me another to fill in. Probably best to get her to fill one in before joining the queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will not give you a new one because the ink is faded. They have not given me a new one to replace my old tattered one that even has the wrong passport number on it after I got a new one 4 years ago. It is worse now since that is a scan of it I did about 3 years ago before I taped it together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the old one. They don't care as long as the card number can still be read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackThompson Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 My advice to any traveler - long or short-term - would be to take a picture of their TM6 on their phone, along with any stamps. Better yet, also back this up to the cloud, in case one's phone is lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can open them up on my phablet or another computer at any time if I want to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest letting them give you one and not doing it yourself prior to you telling them you lost the original. Not sure but they may think you are trying to pull something funny if you do it before you tell them you misplaced the original. Pretty sure they know the original #. Don't have my passport handy but they may even note the card number in your passport. Edited July 16, 2017 by JohnThailandJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck1976 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Just realized my TM6 is gone as well, pretty sure immigration misplaced during my last 90 day report 2 weeks ago (havent used my passport since). I dont have any plans to leave the country before extending my visa (non-o based on marriage). Could that cause problems with the extension?

Tell them you lost it and they will give you new TM6 to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
