When will the ETA system be fully rolled out in Thailand?

David ***********

I like it as it is. The IO uses discretion, computers do not. If there is a problem, you can talk with the IO. Problem with ETA?

sorry but the nativity is strong in this one. Previously it cost nothing to enter on visa exempt. Now it will. The USA it's $21, EU and UK about £10. The departure tax in the UK is always a target at the budget.

@Greg **********

at least I tried to be helpful as there is not much info out there. But some say Dec 24, others first quarter 25 and other June 25. So Siam Legal info is similar to others.

Aldo the fee, it has not yet been announced so there could be a fee.

But you need to DYOR. Sorry for using capital but it's an acronym

oh good, UK, USA and EU charge. Remember the UK already has a tourist/departure tax and those have NOTHING to do with the ETA. So it is not unreasonable to expect the ETA will not be free for long.

maybe they are trying to emulate the EU.

Bottom line it is just another tax and I do not send it has any function.

Found this on a site called Siam Legal

While announced in June, the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) reported on August 23, 2024, that they were accelerating plans to implement the ETA system. It is expected to go online in December 2024 and be fully rolled out and mandatory for all travelers in June 2025.
