Digital Arrival Card (TM6 Online)
Thailand has modernized its arrival process with the Digital Arrival Card, replacing the traditional paper TM6 arrival/departure card at most international airports. Since 2024, travelers arriving at Suvarnabhumi (BKK), Don Mueang (DMK), Phuket (HKT), and Chiang Mai (CNX) airports can complete their arrival card digitally before or upon arrival. This speeds up the immigration process significantly and eliminates the need for paper forms.
