Polar Bear

Chula was supposed to go back to class this month, but it's been delayed again until at least the end of March.

My only advice is don't look for logic in any of it. Just keep trying different options and tweaking the info to see if you can find something they will accept. Or leave the QR code out and let them check it manually. There's no point trying to figure out 'why'.

You'll need a new one. It's expired, and also it's a different system now, so you will need the day 5 hotel booking as well.

For the Thai vaccine, I could only get it to accept the QR code from the international vaccine certificate that you have to order through the app, not the one from the regular certificate. I don't know if that is always the case or if I was doing something wrong. And make sure you have the codes saved exactly as they want them with no border or anything.

I didn't have to put seat number in. Only flight number and cabin.

You can complete most of it and save the application, then finish it off 48 hours before, but yeah, it's annoying.

You have to give vaccination record details, as well as flight info, contact details, etc. I can't remember if you have to upload proof, of vaccination but you are supposed to have a copy with you when your travel. If you can't get your certificate updated, carry both passports, just in case.

You'll need something off them explicitly saying COVID cover for X amount.

The vaccination certificate had to be shown at check-in. He had a print out, I'd imagine the App would be accepted as well.

My husband went back to the UK about a week ago with Qatar via Doha. They only wanted whatever the UK required. At the time, that was the PLF, vaccination record and proof the Day 2 test booking, but even the Day 2 test isn't needed now.

Does it cover you for asymptomatic or close contact quarantine?

If you are fully vaccinated, you don't need any kind of test for England now, either before or after you arrive, but some airlines and transit airports have their own rules. You still need to complete the passenger locator form.

I had to make a reapplication for a Thai Pass on Feb 9th, and this requirement and the advert were there then. However, I made the application with Luma insurance, which doesn't cover close contacts, and it was approved.

If someone is asymptomatic, no treatment is medically necessary so that would suggest they won't cover it, or it would at least put them in a strong position to argue over it.

On the Thai Pass site, and during the application process, they are actively pushing policies through this broker with 3 companies that supposedly cover symptomatic, asymptomatic and close contact quarantine (which is a new requirement). Although when you click through, it doesn't actually mention close contact, unless that comes under hospital isolation, and there isn't enough information on the site about any of the policies to be able to say what they actually cover. https://tqm-app.com/static/thailandpass/index.html

I admire your persistence, well done!

Right, because a 300 THB tax will put the tourists off, unlike the 7,000+ THB costs of Test & Go with the threat of 100,000+ THB quarantine hanging over them. ????

The exact setup will depend on the QR reader app, but there is usually an icon that let's you read from a picture/screenshot. This is the icon on my app (Lightning QR Code Scanner). I was also able to access it by pulling up the screenshot in the camera app or the photos app and using the 'search inside image' option.

I was able to apply for a new international certificate after getting a booster.

If you apply for an international certificate through the app, you can change it yourself during the application, but it will only be updated on the international certificate, not the local one.

Then I'd rate them higher than many US PhDs, especially in STEM subjects. The ability to get a PhD without the expectation/requirement for peer-reviewed publication is the main reason why US PhDs are considered to be a lower level than the UK or Australia. I needed two publications to be put forward for viva (which was an actual exam, not just a presentation), and the expectation was a minimum of 4.

Use the QR code to get the URL of your certificate. Open it on a computer, tablet, whatever, and save it from there.

For Chiang Mai, you have to arrive at CNX on an international flight.
