Thailand’s TM6 immigration form scrapped for 6 months

Travellers to Thailand will find entry much smoother with the suspension of the TM6 immigration form (‘To Mo 6’) for foreign arrivals from 15th April to 15th October 2024. The suspension will ease entry for foreign travellers entering and exiting Thailand at 16 land and sea checkpoints.

TM6 immigration form

The TM6 immigration form is an arrival/departure card, which foreigners are required fill out with their passport information and other personal and travel information when entering or leaving Thailand. The form was permanently cancelled for foreign travellers arriving by air in July 2022.
