I entered with the K ETA, Or whatever its called. It says optional till September I believe. But it is supposed to replace the arival card you usually have to fill out. so we didn't fill out an arrival card.
It was the piece of paper they were clearly least concerned about. It does say it lasts two years and after September you'll have to pay so it seems perhaps theoreticaly doing it now means you don't have to pay till two years.
