TM6 Arrival-departure card

[newalaan2]

Can any of our recently arrived members at Suvarnabhumi Airport advise if there is a new version of the 30 day TM6 Arrival-Departure card since October 2017?

I always take an extra one (from usually KLM/AF) when they hand them out before landing at Bkk to have spare one in advance of the next trip so I can make it out at home and put in with other travel documents as not to have to bother faffing about with it on the flight just before landing or in the terminal. So the one I have is the 'old' one which has been used for the last number of years. There was word of updating it to a new version.

When I arrived in BKK on 9 January, it was the same card as before.

I think the TM card depends on the arrival airline
I arrived with Qatar on Dec 29th and was given the old one
My mate was travelling Emirates, but ended up being sent to Jakarta instead of BKK (long story!)
When he eventually arrived to BKK with Garuda on Dec 24th he was given the new card.
So I suppose as the airlines use their old supply of cards they will start to roll out the new one

I arrived on the 21st inst (Abu Dhaibi/BKK) and was given one that was new to me;
A single card, maybe slightly longer than before but the 'Departure' section was perforated & thus detatchable.
Two new details required - Email address & Telephone number.
Same questions re. income etc. on the back as before.

I cant see what good the phone number is , unless its the hotel number where you are staying , I don't have a mobile number , until I buy a new sim card after I have cleared customs

At the Immigration Desk they have no way of verifying either an email address (and whether it is actually yours) or whether the mobile number you give is actually yours. Write down any email address and mobile number that comes to mind

Scepticism - "At the Immigration Desk they have no way of verifying an email address"
Cynicism - So, "write down any email address and mobile number that comes to mind"

What I wonder would happen if you said I don't have email or have a thai mobile, as surely not every tourist has a thai mobile number

It doesn't specify which phone number -Thai or Home Country.
I had both with me so I gave my home phone number.
It's easy to say that one can invent numbers and emails because they can't be checked at the airport but then you will have given false information on an immigration declaration form.

Would that be worse than encouraging prostitution while you are in Thailand after you have passed through the Immigration checkpoint?

Agree entirely with Farang Ru Mak. It is not worth the risk straying from giving authentic responses to specific questions on an official document. You'll rest easier at night.
