Cabinet suspends filing of TM6 cards at 12 checkpoints until Oct 15
The Cabinet resolved on Tuesday to suspend the filing of TM6 arrival/departure cards at 12 land and sea checkpoints, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said.
He said tourists arriving via land or sea at 12 checkpoints, including the Sadao border checkpoint in Songkhla province, will not be required to file TM6 cards from April 15 to October 15. He added that the suspension of TM6 cards will make it more convenient for foreign tourists to enter the country.
Srettha did not elaborate on the rest of the checkpoints in the country.
The government suspended the filing of TM6 arrival/departure cards in June 2022 for arrivals at airports in a bid to ease congestion.
The TM6 card is a two-part arrival and departure card used to collect information about visitors entering Thailand. The form asks for basic data like name, passport details, flight number, address in Thailand and visa information if applicable.
