Bangkok Barry Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Do we still have to fill out the TM6 form as we enter Thailand. You know, the form they - around last August I think - said was shortly to be abolished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an app for it, though as I am still in Thailand I cannot test it out as it will only let you enter data for an outgoing form once you have an incoming form. You fill in all the usual information then print your arrival card yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How nice of them, bringing up to date a form that many countries abolished years ago as no longer necessary. However, I always carry a 'form in advance' so can still fill one out, as they put it, in the comfort of my home or office ????

Jaxxper Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yes. Required by all non Thai citizens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stouricks Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 A link to the app please. So you print your TM6 at home, before you fly in, give the IO the arrival part, keep the departure bit in your passport to give to the IO on departure, yes?

Unfortunately, for some, though, the flight experience appears to be so full of riveting, nail-biting excitement that they completely overlook the need to complete the form until they are face-to-face with the IO in Arrivals. I've found myself stuck in a queue behind such people quite a few times over the years.???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you're being sarcastic for no reason at all, or if you agree with me that's more comfortable doing in at home rather than in a cramped peasants-class seat on the plane. If you prefer the latter, I'm fine with that, as I'm sure you're fine with me filling the form out in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
