Thailand has launched its very own “digital health pass” via the Public Health Ministry’s Mohpromt application, and all residents of the country are advised to download it. The health pass, which has already been adopted by most domestic airlines, will soon become mandatory for users of everyday venues and services.

 

The pass can be downloaded via the Mohpromt application. However, the app currently accepts only 13-digit Thai ID numbers, meaning expats may have difficulty registering.

 

Several Thais also have complained that they have been unable to get the digital health pass despite the fact that they have already got two jabs.

a very recent u turn, ministers were talking it up a few days ago. i'm sure the government here is capable of doing similar once the reality and practicality dawn...

"The pass can be downloaded via the Mohpromt application. However, the app currently accepts only 13-digit Thai ID numbers, meaning expats may have difficulty registering. "

 

This happens again and again... the simple solution to fix this repeated issue - is to issue encourage and issue the Thai ID (for a fee of course) (with an indicator that it is non-immigrant, non-work permit) to anyone with non-immigrant visa (annual).  The ID can have a link to the passport which means anyone holding it can leave their passport at home rather than bringing it for ID purposes (hotels etc.).

The claim in this news is false. I've been fully vaccinated and downloaded Morprom application. No problems to register. When you get vaccinated you get your 13 digit code (it starts with 600000******) on A4 paper form and you simply enter it instead of Thai ID. It works. The problem is that no one has mentioned that when I got vaccinated. Lack of good instruction is in Thailand unfortunately usual.

When I was getting my second jab, I noticed a lot of guys were using their phones to get a pic of some instruction poster on the wall. It may have been about how to get a vaccination passport. I couldn't be bothered to get in there to look. Perhaps it described what you detailed. I do  have the 13 digit code on my vaccination certificate and have a pic of that on my phone. Still have had no need of it yet.

[nowhereman]

Yes, that's the code I am talking about. Starts with 600000 followed with 6 more digits. (example 600000123456). When you register you enter this code as Thai ID and enter your own password and few personal details like your phone number ect, then you get OTP code by SMS on your phone, enter that and you're ready to go.  

[nowhereman]

Sorry , it early morning. example code 6000001234567. It's 13 digits in all.

Only if you are vaccinated by a government organization.

I tried it with my 60000 number - it said my phone number was not registered with health dept. Do not too quick to praise this.

 

[nowhereman]

Maybe you gave them a wrong number or they have enter it wrong. Go to the hospital where you were vaccinated to clear this out.

[futsukayoi]

So all the sandbox tourists who were vaccinated overseas will be unable to fly, go into restaurants etc.  That should get them flooding in.

No. I was vaccinated in a vaccination site - no hospitals for the poor Sisaket folk. You have no idea have you?

Yes, I always enter b/f's phone number because he can talk to them  and that's what MPH currently has for the jabs ... but (I guess) that won't work in this instance because it won't match my other details.

Where do you download it.

No link provided in either the OP or the linked article to take you to the Official site rather than looking up and downloading a rogue app from some similar sounding fake site!

Correct. I went with a couple of mates to collect their vaccine passport booklet. Asked about one for me as fully jabbed in UK. Got a polite No.

You can download it from Google play for android but it is in Thai, so search for " หมอพร้อม" get someone Thai to help if you are not able to find this in Thai keyboard.
