Question: I arrived in Thailand before TDAC, but it seems I no longer have the TM6 in my passport. I've had several visa extensions (and done all the 90 days reports) while living here for a couple of years, and its never been any problem. Now I'm leaving Thailand in a couple of days - is this bound to be a problem? Has anyone else been in the same situation?

Answer summary

The user is concerned about leaving Thailand without their TM6 arrival card, especially after living there for a few years and having completed multiple visa extensions and 90-day reports. Comments suggest that the absence of the TM6 should not pose a problem during departure, as modern processes, including automated exit gates, typically do not require it. Other users noted that the departure process does not depend on the arrival card.

I don't think they even check for them anymore. Doubt it will cause you any issue, especially since you don't even see a passport control officer anymore. You just scan your passport at automated exit gates.

The Thailand arrival process is irrelevant for departure.
