Has to be done 3 days before arrival. Not sure how long before that it can be completed.

Fortunately we'll already be there, and won't have to bother with this, at least this time.

I guess this is the correct site.....

There might well be some fake ones popping up in a Google search.... I got one when I was trying to do the Indonesian Customs advance declaration. Filled in a load of information and then they were asking for $60, when it should have been free.

Yes, Bruce, I too will be in Thailand when it starts, up in the jungle, but (sadly) will be going back to Aust. a week or so later.

I too almost got caught out with some of the commercial sites. I was heading to Cambodia and eventually found the official site.
Any sign of a cost for these sort of thing, start searching.

Wonder what happens (and if am sure it will be many times) if you don't register or leave it too late for the 3 day prior to flight timeline?

It would be a pleasure to meet you or anyone else on this board some time.  Safe travels mate.

Yes, will they check you have the QR Code when you check in, and reject you if you don't?  Will they use the 3 days to really check you out, more than the old TM6 cursory look the IO used to give.

I'm another one that will be arriving  in Thailand before it comes in....

When we return to the UK from our trip it'll be Mrs Fiends first time travelling on her eVisa for the UK, which is supposed to remove the need for her to carry her old passport that has her ILR in it....

Mine will be on her temporary green card extension, which is basically a piece of paper they send you when you apply for the new green card, because they're so far behind processing this stuff.  Fingers crossed!

They originally had 1st April as roll out day,for some obscure reasons they moved it to 2nd of April.I am not making it up.

To convert Mrs Fiends ILR to a No Time Limit eVisa was a simple process, the application was done online and required a scan of her passport and ILR vignette. It also required her having her biometrics done which required us to travel over to Newcastle..... Once that was completed it took 3 months for it to get processed!!!

Interestingly, the paper green card extension was sent immediately, as though it was computer automated.  We also had to do a biometric scan.  Meanwhile, the extension is for 4 years, whereas the original green card was only good for 3 years!  I think processing times for the actual cards are ~3 years.  We'll be in Thailand permanently before that, although the green card would be nice to have.
