TLDR : Answer Summary
If you have not received the departure half of your TM6, it's recommended to contact your local immigration office to request a replacement. Depending on the office and your visa type, you may need to file a police report stating that you've lost it. Some users reported being able to obtain a new copy without issues, while others had to pay a small fee. Having a copy of your documents can be helpful in dealing with immigration. Overall, it's advisable to address the issue before applying for your extension of stay.

I used to lose mine all the time. immigration only asked me once where it was, said I don't know, that was it. Got a new one at the airport when I fly out.

Some people report having to go make a police report and bending over backwards for a new one. No idea why. They literally mean less than nothing.

I guess it depends where you go and who you encounter.

Thailand is paper and stamping and signing copies

Mine was lost by the same people at immigration extending mine but had no problem because I have a copy of everything I’ve ever gotten from them or given to them. This system I have has been a life saver when dealing with immigration

Go to your immigration office and ask for a new one. Depending on the office and what visa you’re on they may ask you to file a police report stating you’ve “lost” it.
