**Thailand has extended the suspension of the TM6 immigration form requirement for
foreign travelers at 16 land and sea checkpoints until April 30, 2025, to simplify
procedures and reduce congestion.**

## Thailand Suspends TM6 Form Requirement

As of October 17, 2024, Thailand has prolonged the suspension of the TM6 (To Mo 
6) immigration form requirement for foreign travelers using 16 designated land and
sea entry points. This temporary measure, initially introduced to ease traveler 
processing, now extends through April 30, 2025. The TM6 form, once mandatory for
documenting personal and travel information, was permanently abolished for air arrivals
in July 2022.

## Simplified Immigration Procedures

The decision to suspend the TM6 form aims to streamline immigration procedures and
reduce congestion at eight land and eight sea checkpoints. By alleviating administrative
burdens, Thailand seeks to enhance traveler experience at these busy border crossings.
This initiative is expected to foster smoother travel experiences and efficient 
processing for visitors navigating entry and exit procedures.

## Designated Entry Checkpoints

For land travelers, checkpoints from provinces such as Sa Kaeo, Mukdahan, and Chiang
Rai are included. The program covers specific routes, promoting efficient overland
travel. In addition to land checkpoints, select maritime entry points in Chon Buri,
Rayong, Phuket, and Surat Thani cater to cruise ships and yachts, further supporting
Thailand’s aim for seamless international access.
