3/12/2024 Update: The Thai government has delayed the pilot of the ETA travel for Thailand to an unknown date, it won’t start in December 2024 now. Note that there is proposal for a new Thailand Tourist Tax, that may be approved in January 2025, and may be in place mid-2025, along with the new ETA. Keep an eye on what is happening and changing. ✈
@@ianthurston I'm not sure of the new start date. Go to the Thai e-visa website, and fill out the field "Do I need a tourist visa?", put in your country and number of days staying and it will give you the current requirements, of what you need to do for your country.
Your video is misleading as the Thai government POSTPONED the new ETA system in September and that it will now start in June 2025. Do check out the official channels to ensure you get your facts right before presenting such a video. I'm visiting Thailand in January and had checked out the official status on this ETA but it's not even an issue!!
I'm travelling to Thailand with my family in early January. I've registered with the Thailand e-visa portal but there is nothing regarding the ETA mentioned in there only visas which we don't need. Nobody online seems to know what's going on. Is there going to be an App? What happens if we just turn up at the airport without it, then what?
Hi @music4mark, they have now delayed the ETA to an unknown date, and they are considering introducing a Tourist Tax now, maybe approved in January 2025, so watch this space. In these early day and confusion, I think if we just turn up at the airport it will be okay. Just check on the e-visa portal, put your country in and it tells you what the current requirements are. Enjoy your travels to Thailand! 🙂
Not problem!! This people want increase the tourists, but with their behavior they get the opposite result! Before taxes,new rules for visa ,new banking law! And so on , now ETA , is ridiculous!! In this country they are ridiculous!! For a one year visa you have each 90 days report ! I lived in Thailand for a while ,but now I went in another country!
I´m from the UK and flying to BKK in December. The Thai Visa site says I can travel without a visa still. I think the ETA launch has been delayed. Bloody Thailand! Always changing the feckin´ rules...

Thank you for the update on the postponement
where can we check the official information?
It’s not starting in December the start date has not been finalised yet you need to check your facts check the visa web site
This.
Thank you
What if you are currently on a Multiple Entry Visa? Aren't you already approved for multiple entries during the time of its validity?
I would think so, check the Thailand visa site and details of the visas.
Thanks for letting us know 👍🏼😊
You're welcome 🙂

Good point, yes.
