What are the changes to the TM6 form and its impact on expats in Thailand?

The TM6 form is making a comeback, but this time in digital format. Starting May 2025, all foreign nationals entering Thailand will be required to fill out the digital TM6 form, regardless of their visa type ¹. This move aims to enhance the tracking of tourists and improve safety perceptions.

The digital TM6 will need to be updated whenever you change residences during your stay in Thailand. Eventually, it will replace the TM30 form. It's essential to keep your digital TM6 copy up-to-date, as failure to do so may result in fines or penalties.

The form will be available online, making it more convenient for travelers. You'll need to provide personal details, travel information, and accommodation details.

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

- *Digital TM6 form*: Will be available online and required for all foreign nationals entering Thailand.

- *Update requirements*: You'll need to update your digital TM6 form whenever you change residences.

- *Replacement for TM30*: The digital TM6 will eventually replace the TM30 form.

- *Penalties for non-compliance*: Failure to keep your digital TM6 form up-to-date may result in fines or penalties.

Overall, the digital TM6 form aims to streamline the entry process and improve safety in Thailand.

You should also consider reading a book or two before your travel I'd recommend a book Thailand Unveiled 2024-2025 by James Anderson on Amazon..it has all the info and recommendations you need..you should check it out. A very good companion

Just like the online for entry into Thailand. Still has not happened. When they say something new is going to happen, it means a 10 project to look at the idea of change

The great thing about living in Thailand is learning to slow down and just enjoy life. Hard for many of us Westerners. lol. Let’s relax. If n when this happens we will figure it out. lol

Yes, and there will be soon also an arrival tax of 300 THB to pay by every foreigner entering the Kingdom

Don’t worry intil it is put into force, it’s the 3 or 4 time the thai media has rumoured it would happen.

Nobody knows anything yet, and there is no need to speculate, until / if it comes into force.

So don’t feed the rumours, and make people confused and worried.

Problem is the digital systems don't work.

Hence more and more people having to do 90Day Reporting in person.

Queues getting longer.

Got to Cheng Wattana 6.15am today.

Ticket Number 144.

I wonder what they'll do about people who are blind or handicapped. Or people who don't have a phone or internet access or a computer?

so when eta happening?I arrive may 21

How will this replace the TM30? Am I wrong in the impression it is a (web) form you fill in once on arrival?

Will see another we’re doing this could change a hundred times and still not happen

I Wonder?

Where do They keep all coupes and photos???

Every Year, after year,

Sometimes you go 2 times, same paper???

They should keep a paper option available.

Not really an issue at all. Malaysia has MDAC, which is easy to do.

even IF the digital TM6 gets introduced by beginning of May, it definiteley will NOT replace the TM30 accomodation registration. As this is a completely different system

Why do they require a TM6 and possibly an ETA when the same information will be on both ?

@Wayne *******

not approved as yet

Didnt read anywhere it will be replacing the tm30

Yes but there are no official details on how to apply as yet. Going on past history with official announcements we will probably hear on the 30th April how to do it. Perhaps a bit before but I won’t hold my breath on that.
