TLDR : Answer Summary
Whether you need a visa to visit Thailand for three weeks depends on your nationality. For example, Canadian passport holders do not require a visa and will receive a 60-day visa exempt stamp upon arrival. The visa requirement varies by country, so it's important to check the rules based on your passport.

To save everyone a bunch of typing, here’s the answers:

Yes.

No.

It depends (the nationality of your passport determines which).

I see you’re a Canadian. You don’t need a visa. You’ll get stamped in for 60 days on a visa exempt stamp.

 yes, I’m aware of the ETA that’s supposedly starting in December. I would assume anyone traveling would do their due diligence, to find out what’s required of them to enter the country.

 no. You don't get any visa. People from these countries are visa exempt. It means they don't need a visa for stays under 60 days. They get a 60 day entry stamp, which is not a visa.

A visa must be applied for and paid for.
