TLDR : Answer Summary
The Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for Thailand has not been implemented and is unlikely to be available before June 2025. Many users are expressing confusion and disbelief regarding the existence and requirements of the ETA, with suggestions that the information being circulating is based on rumors. The Thai government has not officially confirmed the ETA, and those seeking information are advised to rely on official sources for updates.

WHERE ARE PEOPLE FINDING THIS BS about the ETA being required ?

It's not implemented yet and already deferred until who knows when next year..

And when it is released there will be plenty of information on the Thailand immigration and embassy websites..

FORGET ABOUT IT

And stop reading unofficial crap on the internet.

thanks I think πŸ€”. If you look there is a lot of information and videos but as you said it's not implemented. Hence me asking here. Just a simple yes or no or brief explanation was all I was looking for

I have seen many posts on this topic and it kind of gets a little frustrating seeing the same question multiple times..

It's best to just look at the official Thailand government and immigration information and forget everything else..

That's the point I was trying to make not just for you but for others who may be reading this wonder the same thing.

That is because the ETA has not been implemented in Thailand as yet.

until it was implemented.

Plenty of time not to worry about it.

Maybe last minute will be cancelled. πŸ˜‚

Dont worry about it, there is probably several Govt ministers fighting over who will pay the most "tea money" to allow their software to be used

There is no ETA. That's why you can't find information about it.
