Note: Royal Thai Immigration has stopped issuing the TM6 card at the airports mentioned below!
When entering Thailand, you must submit a completed Thailand Arrival & Departure Card at the Thai Immigration Booth. This is called a TM 6 form or a thailand entry card. The TM6 is an immigration form that Thailand uses as entry requirements to Thailand. The immigration forms in Thailand are in English, enabling ease of completion.
