Issues with Thailand ETA application

[StayinThailand2much]

I tried out the Thailand ETA website and encountered a number of issues, incl. 'freezing' drop-down menus where one gets stuck while applying. But the most puzzling thing was being asked for one's passport country, and then the 'Current Location'. I noticed that, after adding any Asian country, no Thai embassy, or consulate in the next drop-down menu was visible one could click on, which begs the question, does one have to lie when not applying from the home country, i.e. applying to a diplomatic mission in one's home country while being, say in Singapore, on the way to Thailand? What could possibly go wrong when arriving?

Please give the link to the website you are talking about.

I downloaded the app, which, strangely enough, is called 'THAI E-VISA OFFICIAL WEBSITE'.

ETA didn't start yet.  It is not the same thing as e-Visa.

 

Anyway, the reason you get the results you are seeing is that the nearby countries are not participating (yet) in the e-Visa system.

Are you looking to obtain a visa for Thailand? 

Where are you currently located.

EVA is nothing to do with eVisa or visas to Thailand.

Thailand doesn't have an active ETA program at this time.

 

The measure that's currently being discussed won't start before 2025 (or ever).

Add it to the ever-continuing discussion of the Tourism Arrivals Levy. 😄

OP, has misinterpreted ETA with obtaining visa for Thailand.

Guessing eVisa advice ask for.
