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.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

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....
