last year with a whopping 4,626,422 visitors, as per the statistics shared by Thailland’s Tourism and Sports Ministry.
As announced by Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on his official X account, the Thai Cabinet has agreed to suspend the arrival and departure card requirement for a period of 6 months from 15 April until 15 October 2024. He further revealed that the requirement was previously suspended at the Sadao Checkpoint in Songkhla which borders Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah and didn’t impact national security but instead led to more tourists coming to Thailand.
All vehicles entering Thailand via its land borders must fill in T.M.6 and keep it with them until exiting, with those losing the card facing a hefty fine by Thai Immigration when exiting the country.
