Upon entering Thailand, every foreign citizen is required to fill out an immigration card. This document is mandatory and serves to monitor the entry and exit of tourists, as well as to collect statistical information. In this article, we will explain in detail why the immigration card is needed, how to fill it out correctly, and how Easy Visa can help you avoid mistakes and delays at the border.

Why the immigration card is needed

The immigration card (Arrival/Departure Card TM6) is an official document required for:

• Registering foreigners in Thailand’s immigration database.
• Monitoring the length of stay in the country.
• Verifying compliance with visa requirements.
• Facilitating the visa extension process or obtaining a temporary stay permit.

Without a correctly filled-out immigration card, there may be complications during passport control, visa extension, or departure from the country.

How to fill out the immigration card

The immigration card consists of two parts: the Arrival Card (entry part) and the Departure Card (exit part). It must be filled out legibly in Latin letters, using the information from your passport.

Arrival card

• Surname and first name – as stated in your passport.
• Date of birth – in DD/MM/YYYY format.
• Nationality – the country of your citizenship.
• Passport number – information from your passport.
• Flight and departure point – indicate your flight number and the country from which you arrived.
• Address in Thailand – the name of your hotel or the address of your rental accommodation.
• Purpose of visit – tourism, business, study, etc.
• Duration of stay – the number of days you plan to spend in the country.

Departure card This part is filled out in the same way but remains with you until you depart the country. During passport control, it must be handed to the immigration officer.

What to do If the immigration card Is lost

If you lose your immigration card, you must go to the nearest immigration office and fill out a new form. The process may take some time, and you may experience delays when leaving the country without this card. To avoid any issues, Easy Visa can help you quickly restore the document.

Helpful tips for filling out the card

• Fill out the card in advance to avoid delays at the airport.
• Double-check all information, as errors can lead to additional checks.
• Keep the departure part of the card with your passport to avoid losing it before departure.
