TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses potential new restrictions on entering Thailand amid reports of the country easing travel for tourists, such as extending the visa exemption duration for more countries. Participants clarify that an ETA is a form of a visa and mention concerns about the reliability of rumors regarding new restrictions. There is also a reference to TM30 tracking for foreigners, suggesting that there might be existing systems for monitoring foreign entries.
Do they not anyway track foreigners through the use of the TM30 form?
A lot of countries seem to be introducing these, the US and Canada already have it.

And until that eventualy happends it is a rumor, and Thaiger is always first to spread rumors about proposals that will never be voted through parlament.
they call it an ETA, but functionality by definition it’s a visa. an endorsement made by the proper authorities denoting that it traveler information has beemmexamined and that the bearer may proceed
it’s not a visa is a pre travel authorization, and currently only proposed for countries on the Visa Exempt list it will speed up immig process and reduce queues lots of countries do it already
The article says that it is still unknown what documents will be required. Then it mentions criminal records check. Do we have to provide documentation showing we have clean records? If so, do we have to provide documentation for our home country or for Thailand, or both? How did they do it when you did yours for USA? Did they check your records in the USA or your home country?
I think you will just have to fill in a form with name , address, birthday etc..probably an address in Thailande , maybe round trip tickets, and they should be able to check by themselves all the other stuff.
yes exact, except the ESTA for USA is good for one year.What if I am going to Thailand,then Laos and back to Thailand ?They said it is a one time entry, so I guess I have to do another one…
I don’t need a visa for Sin or Malaysia but I do ETA and whistle through the border, in SIN you don’t even see an immigration officer and you passport doesn’t get cluttered with stamps
