Hello,

I remember reading an article about a month ago that stated that Thailand was going to implement a program, sometime near the end of this year, where you would essentially apply for entry approval prior to arrival even if you were from the USA where we currently get a 60 stamp on arrival. The article indicated that it would help speed up immigration and reduce any potential problems. From what I read it sounded very similar to the "Thailand Pass QR" system that was used during the intial opening of the Thai border following the Covid lockdowns. I apologize in advance for not remembering clear details of the article.

My purpose for bringing this up is that I have a trip booked from USA and I'm scheduled to arrive on January 1, 2025, so I want to make sure that I'm prepared. This will be my third trip to Thailand, and I really looking forward to it!

Thank you in advance for any and all input, and please know that I truly appreciate your help.
