"Vaccine Passport" for Thais - here's how it might look for foreigners

[webfact]

Daily News reported on how Thais would be able to get their so-called "Vaccine Passports" or more formally "International Vaccination Certificate".

 

It gives an indication of how the process may be for non-Thais.

 

They'd need to show proof they were travelling like an air ticket, their passport, proof of vaccination and pay 50 baht.

 

There are four places or kinds of places to apply to though they may need to register in advance. 

 

These are at international disease control Suvarnabhumi airport, the Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Unit in Nonthaburi, the Urban Institute for Disease Prevention and Control in Bang Khen (northern Bangkok) or the department of disease control offices elsewhere. 

 

Times of application vary.

Doubt it'll be that simple....

Small suggestion but as it's for non Thails would it not be better in English?

Vaccine passports .... a sad outcome of a sad chapter in modern history.

[khunjeff]

Thailand seems to have taken the term "vaccine passport" a bit too literally in terms of the size and shape of the document, and just put a new label on a certificate that has already existed for decades.

[AlfHuy]

Soon we will read:

 

Chin... gang busted. This time not gambling or Ponzi scheme but doctoring "Covid" certificates.

[zhounan]

Until a few years ago, we would never have accepted these forms of personal discrimination.
Now, thanks to a one-directional media narrative and a herd mentality of conformity, we are passively accepting the unthinkable.

 

In this state of habituation of the masses, governments and the world's big stakeholders can literally decide and implement what they will.

 

Prepare for an era of obedience or imprisonment in case of dissent.

It says "International Vaccine Certificate".

 

Make it bi-lingual. Who would be able to read Thai?

Strange, since vaccine cards have been around a long while. Involved no imprisonment, just an inability to enter specific countries.

Nah, they always accepted bribes at the airport if you couldn't be bothered with the vaccines.

But presumably they'll want to use it for travelling outside Thailand, else it wouldn't be called a 'passport'.

And it would have to be a vaccine acceptable in foreign countries, good luck entering the EU with a Sinovac vaccination as it's not accepted.

For the first time in human history, something like this is being introduced for influenza, which over 99% of all people can cure themselves without any problems or measures.

Khaosan road will be churning these out by the thousands soon

Much safer and cheaper

[Maejo Man]

Australia is currently issuing single page certificates stating type of vaccine administered, medical center where administered, and name of the qualified administering person and the date. Simple.

There is nothing new in the International Vaccination Certificate, I have had one since 1972..

My question is, what is a therapy for gene modification without general approval doing in a vaccination certificate?

I doubt it will remain at 50 baht.

 E.g., how many days to get the ultimate document signed? 

[DLock]

I don't get it.

 

The vaccine passport for Thai or Farang will be used for the exact same reason.

 

A Thai vaccine passport in Thai is useless for a Thai wanting to travel outside Thailand.

 

Why not just do a single vaccine passport - in Thai and English - issued at the same place.

[4MyEgo]

Do we really need this, I mean, aren't the Thai's aiming for herd immunity by years end and then with all other countries having reached herd immunity, why bother with this at all.

 

I mean they are telling us all that once herd immunity is reached, it will be like a common flu/cold ?

Cure? Cure? No cure for flu mate. I'm not sure if you're implying covid is like flu, either.

Isn't it for the immigration people in the country where they land? Who will understand written Thai perfectly, as the whole world usually does.

WHO has a project to update to digital with the input of an Estonian company that previously digitized health care in Estonia. That was months ago.

Unfortunately it is the way of the world, passports have been around for ages.

 

I exited Thailand about 18 months ago and I had to do the biometrics, put fingers on the machine so it could take my finger prints, I said to the guy there, we don't use these to exit or enter my home country, he said welcome to Thailand with a smile on his face, you will also need to do the same procedure when you come back kar.

 

Naturally I felt like telling him to shove it where it fits, but it's their country, their rules.

It's not in my country as of yet, but no doubt will be one day for sure.

 

The vaccination cards will be around for a while I would imagine, how else can big pharma keep making big profits, the wool may have been pulled over everyone's eyes, but once anything is approved, you will rarely see it taken away, so annual jabs will become part of the new norm regardless of what we think, we are merely sheep who will be holding vaccine cards, call them what you want if you want to travel internationally.

Why do I get the feeling I am one the Titanic looking at an iceberg? The government's inability to do the simplest thing with respect to anything COVID frankly scares the life out off me.

Not really considering they are already in use and existance.

 

Yellow Fever being 1 example.
