Hi, just confirming that if you enter (for the first time) via airplane on a visa waiver 30 days, you don't need TM6 for the 30 day extension?

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you enter Thailand by air on a visa waiver for the first time, you do not need a TM6 form for a 30-day extension, as TM6 cards have been suspended for air arrivals. However, the TM6 form is still required for those entering through land borders.

Yes, TM6 arrival/departure cards have been suspended for those who arrive in Thailand by air on whatever visa/entry status. Still issued at land borders.

If you arrived by air (after TM6 was suspended), you don't need a copy of TM6 for an extension. But if you enter Thailand through land borders (including so-called sea borders), you will need one.
