ezzra Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Anyone have an idea what is going on with this new requirements for vaccination passport that without that it will be difficult to leave the country unless one is fully vaxed.. https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/blog-news/covid-19-vaccine-passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tonray Posted October 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2021 Why not just get fully vaxed ? And this is not a requirement per se, this is Thailand's attempt at making it easier for travelers where airlines or destination countries might require this document for travel. You can also apply for this via the Mor Prom app (I believe active as of yesterday) I will try today to see how it goes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Monday Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) No actual requirements yet. Inability to decide on unified Digital Vaccine Passport is the biggest shambles of lack of international cooperation in history of aviation. Every country wants own system Airlines CEOs have commented on it the have no choice but to go it alone, piecemeal. I guess they don't care 30 plus percent of paper certificates from 180 countries will be fakes they just want to bring back idle fleets and get bums in seats. Result will be multiple unneeded tests departure then arrival. You will pay for it. Bumrungard process way too complicated I get the similar for free at point of vaccination in US no more docs no need to present a flight ticket. https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/blog-news/covid-19-vaccine-passport Edited October 18, 2021 by Captain Monday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Well it is good that Thailand is taking steps to develop a paper (yawn????) certificate that should be accepted by other countries. But how to verify by 100s of countries a red Garuda stamp that can be faked? The US certificate is a joke but I guess it is take it or leave it. Too easy to fake. It can be researched in investigative proceedings by using lot numbers and shot dates. Some liars and criminals have been fired from jobs, and arrested in Hawaii and Canada already. It would be better if airlines and countries just accepted WALMARTs QR code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew to Thailand and Germany and with the US certificate. Some have placed in their mind that they require some sort of special internationally recognized documentation, outside of the one that they are already carrying - I don't know of any country that hasn't issued proper and authorized certificates, cards, documentation to accompany their respective vaccination programs/procedures. Your completed COVID card acts as an official certificate for passage, travel and whatnot. I, too, have traveled internationally - vaccine era - recently. Appears that the official vaccine card is sufficient. Actually, I believe that this unrealistic ideal of an "International Vaccine Passport" faded some months ago.

Actually, I believe that this unrealistic ideal of an "International Vaccine Passport" faded some months ago. The US has issued cards you get at point of vaccination. It was accepted to enter Germany and Thailand sandbox. It was accepted to get into a NYC restaurant. Japan has something similar to Thailand where you get a vaccination done first then apply for their international certificate that is already recognozed by some countries. For the International Digital Health passports by the time countries decide on what, and who pays and profits by it the covid pandemic will be over. Maybe in 5 years. It is going to continue to be a piecemeal system where international travel to various countries will require complex research and complex diverging rules. Maybe there is a future for travel agents after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand J Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If I were your friend I would visit Pattayarak Health Unit, show them the airline reservation, this is an emergency. They accept 50 appointments a day. May be there are no-shows, may be someone is willing to give up his spot. Give it a try, better then not doing anything.

Captain Monday Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 As a deterrent to fraud Thailand Immigration Police should randomly review the CDC vaccination cards used by Americans who enter Thailand and send scammers to Thai jail for 30 days. Fish head soup, concrete floor and leg irons, the whole shebang. Then transfer to IDC for deportation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Bangkok Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I've been looking into getting an a vaccine passport. I've had one AZ in BKK, and one AZ in London.

JRG23 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Getting an appointment for a Vaccine Passport in Bangkok is very difficult indeed. I need to fly out in early Nov for work and can't get an appointment. But do airlines actually need the passport - or do they accept the certification of vaccination? Anyone know?

bdenner Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Australians can apply for an International Immunization Certificate through their MyGov Account in the Medicare section. Email a copy of your Thai Vaccination Certificate to your local GP in Australia. He/She will forward it onto the Australian Immunization Register. You will get an email from the MyGov site when the Register has been updated updated (about 3 hours). Go into the site and download the Covid 19 Digital Certificate.PDF file. Go into the International Certificate option, fill in the details and a Certificate will be issued immediately in PDF format which you can download as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
