What should I do if I've lost my departure card in Thailand?

There's a dude that works "off the books" and can get the residency certificate done in one day in Promenada for a 500 thb "fee." I've done it twice now (drivers license and bank account). Although I'm hearing here's on vacation. Bottom floor by the parking lot, close to immigration, right next to the copy place in an empty commercial space. It's not an agency. It's literally a one dude who sits in an empty space. You can't call him or email him. You simply walk in and hand him the documents. He looks at them, then asks for money. After you pay him, he says "tomorrow after 2pm" and then you walk out. No receipt, no small talk. The next day you walk in, he hands you cert, and you walk out. No smiles, all business.

, Oh sorry :/ I thought you were in Bangkok my mistake. :(

There's some issue going on with the residence certificates up in Chiang Mai. Some people say the immigration office takes a month to mail them to you. There's some visa agency near the immigration office who can get them faster for 500 baht I believe..

Remember those residency certificates at Chaengwattana cost 200baht and it can take a couple weeks to get it in the mail. They also tell you if you don't get it by one month to go back out there and check with them. They have a big box of residence certificates that get returned to them :/ Good Luck (y)

yeah, when your condo registers you as staying there they need the departure card number..

Last time I didn't have my departure card to get my extension of stay and they simply gave me a new one to fill out.

You also need the TM6 card to check into hotels

Yep the stamp in the passport is ok. Annoyingly I had a photocopy of it all before it got water damaged, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks

, if they can still read it, it shouldn't be a problem, especially not if the stamps in the passport are good. I had my passport in the washer for an our, nervous as hell when I had to extend my visa, but the stamps were still visible.

Police report is free, you pay 20 Thb for a copy.

The stamp has washed off my departure card, not completely but mostly. Will I have problems extending my tourist visa tomorrow?

Not free, but close enough. I paid 20 baht for a police report :)
