ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
If you are arriving in Thailand before May 1st, whether you need a visa depends on your nationality. Many travelers from visa-exempt countries can receive a 60-day entry stamp without a visa. The mention of May 1st is relevant only to the introduction of the online Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), which does not impact visa requirements. You should fill out the TDAC within three days prior to your arrival.
