TLDR : Answer Summary
Starting May 1st, 2025, it is expected that Thailand will implement an online version of the TM6 arrival card that travelers must fill out before entering the country. This change aims to streamline the entry process and improve tracking of tourists. However, there is still uncertainty surrounding the final approval of this new system, with comments suggesting it could be discussed further in upcoming cabinet meetings. As of now, the current paper-based TM6 is temporarily suspended.

No...

If it goes the way I think it will then you submit your arrival flight. , passport number, visa number/type , re entry permit and address you are going to live at in Thailand. You should then be able to update your address every time you change accommodation.

If I had to make a bet I would say 90%

Brother - it’s Thailand. Relax. We will know on May 1. Either way it will be ok.

According to

The info from the airline in the boarding area in Tokyo, they had a QR code to scan for online registration and instructed people to download it

Starting May 1st, 2025, Thailand will indeed introduce a digital version of the TM6 arrival card, which must be filled out online before entering the country ¹. This new system aims to streamline the entry process and improve tracking of tourists.

The digital TM6 form will require travelers to provide personal details, travel information, and accommodation details. You'll need to submit this information online before your trip, and it's essential to ensure the accuracy of the information provided.

It's worth noting that the current paper-based TM6 form has been suspended temporarily, but with the introduction of the digital version, this requirement will be reinstated ¹.

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

I would rather do it online than on the plane to be honest. I usually mess up the first couple I try to fill in on the plane. lol

Yes
Nongnuch ********
it is not official yet, it is not clear whether the digital TM6 will really come. All of this still has to be clarified at a meeting on February 26th. As long as it is not published in the Royal Gazette, it is and will remain a declaration of intent, a wishful thinking. And how often have the Thais announced something and then it has come to nothing? Well, let's wait and see
Bob **********
Not yet,check in May could never happen
Chris *********************
Just my thoughts, I don't think it will be approved.

The amount of tourists coming to Thailand with or without a visa would overload the system, and I think the government will see that.

Hopefully it’s the first step for automatic gate at arrival…
Anthony ******
@Filippo ********
they will still need to stamp your passport coming in. Going out automatic gate is fine.
Bob **********
@Anthony *****
no they won’t
Filippo *********
@Anthony *****
why? Hopefully in the future it won’t be needed. Indonesia doesn’t do it anymore since months…
Graham ******
@Anthony *****

Willem ****
Not yet approved. Subject for discussion in the cabinet next week.

@David ******
I know what a TM6 is. I've lived in Thailand for almost 20 years. It's no big deal, but I can't see how it tracks foreigners. It's very similar to the Australian entry card
