What is happening with the new online visa for those from countries who were free of visa before? I’m from Ireland and normally only had to present my passport
Answer summary
There is currently no new online visa for travelers from countries previously exempt from visas, including Ireland. Instead, the only change is the requirement to fill out a digital arrival card (TDAC) prior to flying to Thailand, which replaces the paper card that was previously filled out on the plane.

Where do people get this stuff from?
Is it bad reading comprehension or just hearing rumours from others and taking it as fact.
I think you might be talking about the new digital arrival card, as of May 1st, 3 days prior to flight you need to apply online for the TDAC (Thailand digital arrival card), everyone has to apply for it when entering Thailand
There is no new online visa. You're still eligible for visa exempt same as you always were. You just need to fill out the digital arrival card now instead of filling out the card on the plane. That's literally the only change.
