Trying consistently since 9am but continue to get "Error from API server" message. No doubt those who are currently attempting to access the Thailand Pass website and who also attempted to register their details on the Expatvac website the day it went live are currently experiencing feelings of deja vu! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With insurance unavailable for those of a similar age as me it seems that our travels abroad are on the back burner. At 88, maybe for ever.☹️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to the last page ("Submit") and I'm getting API server errors. From what I've seen so far it looks like an epic failure in system design. Most of the document providers (vaccination certificate, SHABA confirmations, insurance policies) provide the documents in pdf format, the system designers have no idea what they are doing...asking the average tourist to do pdf to image conversions, and with multi page documents possibly concatenate images. Once the word spreads nobody will book a holiday in Thailand. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigntax Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Would be interested to hear from anyone who initially received the Error from API Server if they have since been able to register and how. Have tried different browsers, devices and always get this error at the final click and the insurance doc removed Edited November 1, 2021 by Reigntax 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old COE system had 6 digit access code for online checks. Email is not a 100% reliable method of communication. No. No code given on submission success notice or or email acknowledgement.

I feel it's still too much for the average tourist to bother with when so many easier, less expensive options are out there. If Thailand really wants tourists then they are going to have to simplify the Thailand pass significantly. The USA ESTA application is easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine went through like a dream and yes there was an email acknowledgement but partners stuck. One not much use without the other ???? Backend is running on and off intermittently. If IT-inclined, you can peek at the request being sent and resend that manually until you are lucky to get a server response. Otherwise, wait/resubmit form again until it works. Note that some requests can get stuck registered but not processed correctly, and you'll get blocked from submitting a request with same passport number again, I've had to add a space into mine to get things moving again. This system is a disaster. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are various people on FB reporting success after getting the API error. At this moment it all looks random...it could be a piece of information which block the process. In any case it looks like poorly written and documented application. From what I've seen the vaccine info seems to be vague...maybe the info there triggers errors. Also: "The certificate of vaccination should include your personal information for identification such as your full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number and vaccination details." The EU digital covid certificate doesn't include nationality or passport number...In fact people are not required to have passports to be vaccinated. Don't know how they would handle this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
