ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all. I looked in my passport and I see I still have an old TM6 stapled inside from when I entered Thailand a couple years ago (btw I been on a work visa, that's why inside Thailand that long). It says Departure Card. When I leave the country to apply for my DTV, am I supposed to complete that card and give it to someone on my way out? Or did they stop that too?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When leaving Thailand to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), you technically should complete the TM6 departure card, as it remains valid. While some land borders may still issue TM6 cards, most users indicated that you don't necessarily need to present it, and it may be safe to remove it from your passport to avoid confusion.

Technically yes, if you received a TM6, it is still valid and you were still supposed to be putting the number on forms that asked for it. Some land borders are still handing out the TM6 cards.

I doubt anyone will say anything if you don't, but you are supposed to. At the bare minimum, remove it from your passport if you don't plan on handing it in to immigration, so it doesn't cause any issues in the future.

You don’t need. You can even remove it from your passport.
