Is the new ETA form for entering Thailand similar to the old TM6 form?
The much talked about ETA form for entering the Kingdom, is this like the old TM6 form?
Answer summary
The ETA form is different from the old TM6 form. Currently, the ETA is intended only for travelers who are not on a visa, while the upcoming TM6 form, if it returns, will apply to all entrants to Thailand. Updates regarding these changes are expected in May, but details remain uncertain.

From what I've heard the big difference is that the ETA is only for people not on a visa. The TM6 if/when it comes back will be for everyone.

With the most recent announcement about the imminent return of TM6, no one really knows what is going on between TM6 and ETA. Best to just wait and see what happens in May, if anything actually happens.
