You'd need to buy a fly out from Thailand within 30 days (or is it 29 ?) after arrival so that the immigration let you go through. That's literally what the Thai embassy told me yesterday on the phone and telling me that their e-visa system was broken and i will probably not get my visa on time. TBH i already knew that trick but i was just surprised to hear it from the embassy.

Yes the Thai pass QR contains the date you've entered in the online form. If you amend your trip just submit another Thai pass request with the new documents, no problem

And for me it was approved instantly however the Thai embassy still haven't delivered my visa, finally managed to call them today and they haven't been able access the E-visa system for a while, and it will maybe be fixed on the 12th but they have no idea for sure. I already amended all my bookings from the 8th to the 15th because of that issue, now what, amend again !? When one system is working the other one is down, can't have both !

thanks a lot, I'm looking at it right now, Damn that website looks like it was designed in 95 and never updated, but if it works, it works !

Yay i found one company (emailed them) and it seems that they (mostly ?) ship to AU and they had questions about steam cleaning and fumigation i was like, sorry what now !? Anyways they haven't answered yet.

Damn 500 CDN dollars ? that's nothing !! Can you share the company details or they only work in Canada / AU ?

Glad the trick worked !

Yeah they really <deleted>*cked up my mind when i started to understand the whole SHA+ certified hotels vs SHA+ bookings vs SHA+ hotels giving AQ bookings vs normal AQ bookings. WHY would you do that ? it's like if you wanted to <deleted> someone's head that'd be perfect.

Yup, And that's why so many people are confused. Because of the way the hotel call their bookings, everything get mixed up. a SHA+ certified hotel will issue a AQ booking for the "test and go" scheme. But a SHA+ booking (in a SHA+ hotel) is only necessary for the "sandbox" scheme. And at the same time some website like Asq.in.th sell some "Test and go" 1 night package clearly marked as SHA+ while they're ... AQ bookings. Do you know what i'm saying !? God help me. PS : it's all clear to me right now, but i don't think it's clear for ... lots of folks here.

Guinea pigs you said !?

Oh yeah totally agree on that part. The system is <deleted> and unpleasant (at best) to use, especially because of that JPEG format. But trust me it's automatic when it works.

Then it probably doesn't even read these / some of these ? documents ; It just link your document JPEG with the insurance policy ID you've entered in the form and embed it into a QR code. Then when the immigration officer check your QR code he'll ask you for all those documents and review them. Do not think of that Thailand Pass - QR code as something really high tech that check if you hotel booking ID / insurance policy actually exist. The QR code is just a link to a page / database, when you put all those informations it just put all your documents in one of their database and generates a link = a QR code. While some of these informations might be read by a software (Vaccine (if standard) and passport) it maybe doesn't read everything.

LOL that's a good one. Edit : Don't ; The QR code is just something that opens a page with all the details you entered in the form : Flight details / vaccine / hotel booking and so on. So basically what i'm trying to say is NOPE

Bruh ! Let's do a list of all the fuc*ked up things in that process, shall we !?

Oh right, Don't worry then, i just checked all my QRs and it's a standard signature answer for approval emails.

That only says that if you test positive upon arrival (at your hotel) or that IF before departure you used a non PCR test (antigen test), you may still be allowed to enter Thailand but THEN you will have to do a 10 days quarantine.

I feel like i'm on reddit, when people don't understand how things work they call it fake. It doesn't have to read everything, it just have to find a field like "insurance policy ID XXXX" and check a field like "Maximum benefits". When i say it's automatic, just to be clear : There's no background check whatsoever, it's not going to check if you have a valid hotel booking ID, or a valid insurance policy.

I'd be cautious with that one. It's like if you were unvaccinated and still had to go through a 10 days quarantine. Wait, let me check again : are you fully vaccinated and from an "quarantine free" eligible county ?

You got the QR code with Alternative quarantine written on it at the bottom ? how so ? Do not confuse Exemption from Quarantine (Test and Go) / Alternative Quarantine choice on the first page. And your hotel booking type (asked at the "end" of the form. Given you're fully vaccinated and from a country that's eligible you should choose Exemption from quarantine (test and go) ON THE FIST PAGE. Then later on when they ask you about your hotel booking you should choose AQ (alternative quarantine) instead of SHA+

Don't worry about the 1st vaccination page that you don't have (anymore). Upload the "EU digital covid certificate" for both (first and second doses) and upload that same QR code twice too.

Again, be careful, SHA+ is a certification, your hotel is SHA+ certified but it's a AQ booking (if you land in Bangkok, 1 night stay with PCR test). Just like my booking here :

And i thought my landlord was a <deleted>. Nevermind, she's okay-ish

Yep, So after years in Thailand and a year stuck abroad because of the Covid and other reasons i got a job offer a man can't refuse. Gonna have to sell all my stuff and go back to the motherland. Does anyone here have some experience / recommendations about shipping a bike from Thailand to the EU ? (I'm not looking for legal advises on the EU side, i just want to know what companies can pickup the bike, pack it (crate), ship it and so on). So if you know what company can do that (from BKK), can you share your experience with the process ? (and costs). Thanks

Same issue while applying for a tourist visa. I basically uploaded the same document in fields 8 and 10 (phone bill). As for field 10 since i didn't want them to be able to say anything i scanned my entire empty passport (haven't travelled in more than a year). Maybe writing something saying that "I haven't travelled in XXX months hence i can't upload the required document" works too.

Edit / Update. ASQ = AQ hotel and a Hotel can have the SHA+ certification, however if you book for 1 night with PCR test this will be a AQ booking, not a SHA+ booking. If will be a AQ booking in a SHA+ certified hotel. Just like for my booking :
