TLDR : Answer Summary
Starting May 1st, 2025, Thailand will replace the traditional arrival card (TM.6) with an electronic version, the TDAC. Comments on this announcement express confusion about how this change will impact different types of visa holders, particularly regarding the treatment of E-Visas and existing visa stickers. There's a desire for further clarification from Thai Immigration regarding the integration of current visa details into the new electronic system.

it would be nice for the Thai Immigration Bureau to give more clarification about those holding Thai E–Visa PDF's, those holding the remaining Thai Visa Stickers, and of course, those with Thai Visa's issued in-country by the local Thai Immigration Offices to either have additional information fields to input Thai Visa details (if any), or perhaps waive or somehow incorporate and accommodate Thai Visa holders with this new TDAC:

as the old Immigration Bureau Order published in the Royal Gazette only discusses an "Electronic Arrival/Departure Card" replacing the Paper TM.6 for those on "Visa Exempt" and not much else more....
