Is the TM6 form still required for immigration into Thailand?
Hi is the TM6 still needed as i either didnt get one or its lost. Thanks
Answer summary
The TM6 form is no longer required for air passengers entering Thailand as of July 1st. However, it may still be needed for visa extensions or when entering through land borders. Several users confirmed that they were not asked for the TM6 during their recent flights, although some had anecdotal experiences where it was requested. If you have a TM6 form in your passport, it's advised to keep it just in case.

Thailand doesn't use the tm6 anymore. Easy in and out.ifyour visa is still currently valid. If your visa has run out and you try to leave the country you will be fined by immigration police at the airport.

I was surprised to get one handed to us leaving Malaysia for Koh Lipe last week. 🤷♂️ hopefully they disappear completelyHenrik ****
@Todd ********
, at least they should make it an online system with QR-code making it easy for regular travelers..Henrik ****
@Todd ********
, ok, always good to have someone else to point at 🙂Todd *********
@Henrik ***
try Canada or USA if you want to see online service failuresHenrik ****
@Todd ********
, Thailand does not have great success with its online services. The eVisa website was developed by one of the big banks. But of course, it won't be a big challenge to develop a such system for the TM6 for a professional software company.Todd *********
@Henrik ***
they certainly have the technology to do it nowStuart *********
@Todd ********
Yes, hopefully.Activity
