Thread: New immigration form in use from 1 October

BANGKOK, 1 September 2017 (NNT) – The revised immigration form will be effective from 1 October 2017, while a law amendment is underway to exempt Thai passport holders from filling out the form.

Tourism and Sports Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul on Monday chaired a meeting of officials to revise the Prime Minister's directive regarding the TM6 immigration form required for all persons to pass through Thailand's immigration checkpoints.

The meeting has affirmed the decision to implement the newly designed TM6 form from 1 October 2017, and agreed on the process of exempting Thai passport holders from being required to fill out the form.

The exemption process will have to be initiated from the Immigration Bureau through the Ministry of Interior in order to seek approval from the Cabinet. The process, which requires the amendment to the existing law, is expected to take one month to be finished.

We all know know what's going to happen no airline is going to issue the new form, chaos on arrival because passengers have all got old arrival card.

20 USD for arrival service is a small price to pay

That sounds about right.
Solid Thai planning.

It is a very good service, last time I used it I didn't bother paying extra for with the golf cart ride to immigration.
Lady met me and said she has to ride to the gate on cart, as I was the only one using them on my flight I was offered a speedy ride for free

"Welcome to Phuket sir"
"Thank you, the worlds my oyster"
"Yes, a telf certificate has served you well sir"

FYI ~ The airline carriers will comply, and distribute the new TM6 forms, immediately so!
