I expect many people would like the vaccine passport in preparation of foreign travel....before they have actually made air travel reservation. I agree, I fail to see the logic in requiring airline tickets, why does Thailand always spoil sensible process with a nonsense requirement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some of you will have to leave your gf or wife behind. At least that's the reason I would tell my partner she can't go with. For once the UK govt is of use! Yep, could be issue for some wishing to take their 'partners' to the UK. That said, there is a good chance they will accept mixed/chinese vaccs before too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctormann Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Just looking at my vaccination certificate - 2X Pfizer, administered by Bangkok Hospital, Pattaya, at Central Festival Mall - it includes all the necessary information BUT has no Garuda stamp so I wonder if it would be considered as valid?

I don't think that is quite correct - vaccine mixing meaning one of the two vaccine doses being sinovac approved vaccine will be a full dose of a recognised vaccine which in most cases fully vaccinated is 2x doses of an approved vaccine administered properly as recommended by the manufacturer including the full dose and administered properly - "not" 25% dose administered subdermally as Thailand is now doing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2 weeks you are considered as fully vaccinated. You cannot usually choose which vaccine is given in the UK. You can ask which one is available and if they will give you it but you cannot choose on a whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they were first started to be issued, the criteria was a waiting time of 5 days between application and receiving, with only original vaccination certificate and copy of passport required. It was stated that they could be issued quicker but urgent need would have to be supported by travel details i.e. flight tickets/itineraries. I know that many people have received them the same day, without having urgent need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
