Answer summary

The user is a UK passport holder on a Non-O multi-visa, married with two children, and is concerned after losing their TM6 departure card. They have until May 17th for their visa but are unsure if this loss poses a serious issue, especially since they want to apply for a 60-day extension. Community responses suggest that while it is generally manageable, obtaining a police report for the lost card may be necessary, particularly when requesting an extension. Users noted that losing the card isn't uncommon among expats in Thailand.

OK thanks i will do that. Only time my passport is ever opened is when i go to the bank and draw cash using my CC, they pgotocopy my passport. A month ago they phoned my after forgetting to put it back in, but today at the bank they looked and said they had not seen it. I will try the second road branch i used last week tomorrow.

Back in the good old days all the airport immigration staff used to staple it in.

just get the police report, believe me you're far from the first foreigner who lost a TM6 card in the history of thailand :P

well in that case what I'd do is GO to a police station and get a police report stating you lost your TM6 departure card and take THAT with me when I went to get the 60 day visit family extension.

Some offices make you get a police report before they will issue you a new TM6 departure card, so get the police report before you go to try for the extension :) that way you've got that covered IF they do ask for it

as long as you're not going to the immigration office to get any extension you're fine. Pick up a new one at the airport or border when you go to exit thailand.
