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?

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.

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.
