TLDR : Answer Summary

The Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for Thailand is not currently operational. There have been indications that it may launch on May 1st, but this is not officially confirmed, and discussions suggest that the system needs to be fully functional before travelers can rely on it. It is advisable for individuals planning to travel to Thailand to monitor official announcements.

Depends on when your flight will be. If it is in 2025, you won't have to worry about it. They need to make sure the new e arrival card is working smooth first

Edit. Misread question. ETA postponed. New TM6 (in an electronic form set for May 1st). My bad.

Not yet. Possibly 1st May but nothing official announced only press speculation.

I think May 1st is for TM6. The ETA has been postponed for the time being

Whoops sorry you’re right. I misread it. ETA sidelined. TM6 (electronic version) set for 1st May. I will edit my answer.
