TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the expected introduction of the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) for entering Thailand. Currently, there is no confirmed date for its implementation. While some speculate it could be introduced as early as February following a parliamentary vote in January, others suggest it might not happen until June. The conversation highlights the uncertainty regarding when the ETA will become mandatory and mentions the potential inclusion of a 300 baht tourist tax.

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.

Hopefully like other countries that use this type of form, your airline will ask you to confirm you've applied. The UK govt website has up to date info on entry options/requirements.

Parliament votes on it in January. Will probably include the 300 baht tourist tax, so expect introduction in February

It isn't required and the best guess is June for when it might happen...
