TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion centers around the potential requirement for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for travelers arriving in Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption in June 2025. Current comments suggest that the implementation of the ETA has been postponed and is subject to change, with some sources indicating a tentative introduction in December 2024 for full rollout by January 2025. However, many in the comments also recommend waiting until closer to the travel date to confirm any changes, as updates can occur rapidly.

That's too far down the road to even imagine what's going to happen. Things can change on a dime in Thailand

Under the existing system you'd buy the flights, arrive then an Immigration Officer checks that you meet the requirements. The requirements are not changing just when/where the check is done.

Nobody knows how it will work. The law now says that tourists can be asked to show

B (or equivalent) cash on entry. With the ETA and the use of electronic gates there can be no such check and a bank statement is no proof now so how could it be then? Let's wait to see what happens if/when the pilot scheme starts.

As yet no one knows what those requirements would be. There’s already talk of it being delayed beyond Dec 1st but nothing official as yet.
