If your passport country is listed here you get free 60 day visa excemption entry to Thailand...

Nothing else required, only your passport and boarding pass for immigration.

No you don’t as an Australian passport holder you will get a 60 day visa exempt stamp when you arrive in Thailand, this is free, so you don’t have to do anything.

Who told you this? There is a difference between a visa and an ETA.

@Ronald ********
yeah but if you were told you need a visa either the person who told this was wrong or you misunderstood the ETA and thought it was a visa so the reply from Mr Macon tried to clarify that I guess. And I doubt very much you got conflicting answers in this group

So Thailand is switching its last embassies from in person visa application to the e-visa platform on Jan 1st. However, this doesn’t change any regulations. If you are from a country that is visa exempt (60 days), you remain visa exempt. However, if you need a visa, you apply online instead of in person.

people are dribbling garbage and confusing the Evisa with the proposed ETA which was coming December but it's postponed and no firm date set for it to exist. But currently as an Aussie you don't need anything other than a current passport.
