Does anyone know if the TM6 is still in use in Thailand in particular Phuket? Is Phuket international airport arrivals normally busy? How long would you normally expect to wait? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The TM6 form is currently suspended for air passengers arriving in Thailand, including at Phuket International Airport. The wait times at the airport can vary depending on the timing of other arrivals, but a general expectation is around one hour. There are also discussions about VIP arrival services, although they may not be necessary given the current low passenger numbers. Additionally, travelers can now stay for 45 days without a tourist visa, an increase from the previous 30-day limit.

No need for it anymore. I went to Thailand in September and was looking for it and they just stamped my passport and I was good to go. Also, nowadays, you're allowed to stay for 45 days without a tourist visa instead of the 30 days max.

Has anyone ever tried any of the VIP arrival services? Is it worth it?

I used it in Bangkok. Immediate walk from the date to fast track to done. But it also turned out the were so few people at that time that I would've finished the same time if I did normal entry.

TM6 is currently suspended for air passengers.

The wait will be entirely dependent on how many planes land just before yours. Expect an hour then you won’t be disappointed if it’s less….
