Is There a Thai immigration app you can apply for the TM-6 entry and exit stamp or just a link? What happens if you cannot do it 3 days in advance ,only 1 day in advance because of my work schedule offshore ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation clarifies that there is no specific TM-6 application but rather a TDAC system for immigration processes in Thailand. Users can apply for TDAC up to 3 days in advance but have the option to do it even closer to their arrival time, potentially just minutes before. There is some confusion regarding the application process for expats, particularly concerning flight details. There are kiosks available at Thai airports for completing the TDAC application.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Ok I get it ,but it's misleading for expats living there as it asks for return flights out of Thailand even though I gave the number of my retirement visa ,still asks for departure flight number and dates

@Andy *****
don’t have to fill in the departure information. These boxes are not ‘asterix’ and your info will pull through without it

You can do it 10 minutes in advance if you want! But not more than 3 days in advance!
Rob *******
It's up to 3 days in advance NOT 3 days in advance!

One minute before arrival is fine. It's up to three days not before three days.
