ORIGINAL POSTER
I try again, and hope for an answer - what is the scoop on the ETA system for EU/Sweden visitors? It was supposed to be introduced in the spring, but I find no information that it is supposed to be used now?

Is TDAC the only pre-arrival requirement for a 58 day stay?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The proposed Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system for EU visitors, including those from Sweden, does not currently exist as a requirement. The only pre-arrival requirement for a 58-day stay is the TDAC (Tourist Declaration and Approval Certificate), which replaced the ETA concept as of May 1, 2025, according to a recent report from the Thai Foreign Minister.
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 agents.co.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.

As was only a concept idea of a Thailand ETA was only a proposal, there is now no more Thailand ETA

This is also stated in a writtem report signed by the Thai Foreign Minister to the Thai Cabinet, which mentions that the new TDAC that started since 01 May 2025 replaces that proposed concept which was a Thailand ETA

Hard to find information on something that doesn't exist. That should be your hint. It's only TDAC.
