When will Thai Embassies and Consulates switch to the E-Visa application system?

Question

During this past week, several Thai Embassies and Consulates around the world have officially announced and posted Notices that they will go to the Thai E-Visa website https://thaievisa.go.th/ system to accept Thai E-Visa applications, process, and issue Thai E-Visas starting on the New Year, 01 January 2025. 
 
Generally, they will stop accepting in-person visa application submissions and stop issuing Thai Visa Stickers on Christmas Eve, 24 December 2024, with a few Thai Embassies/Consulates stopping before that on 20 December 2024 or earlier.  At Taipei, they will stop on 27 December 2024. 
 
Do note the processing times with Thai E-Visa are longer than before with many announcements stating 10–15 working days to process and issue Thai E-Visas. 
 
Also, some Thai Embassies/Consulates will NOT be accepting card payments via the Thai E-Visa website, but will instead be accepting payments in Cash after submitting an Thai E-Visa application via the website. 
 
Those Thai Embassies/Consulates that have announced this different method of payment (Cash) are: Vientiane, Savannakhet, Yangon, India, Brunei, Pakistan, Tel Aviv, Jordan, others....  
 
These announcements are in line with the stated goal of the Thai Government to change all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world to the Thai E-Visa website system by December 2024.

Starting January 1, 2025, Thai Embassies and Consulates will transition to accepting E-Visa applications via the Thai E-Visa website, ceasing in-person submissions and sticker issuance by December 24, 2024. Processing times are expected to increase to 10-15 working days. Some locations will only accept cash for E-Visa payments, while others may accept card payments online. This change aligns with the Thai Government's initiative to implement the E-Visa system globally by the end of 2024.
