Was going to do my preboarding PCR tonight. I found this place which is guaranteed next day delivery with certificate for £75.

It kind of feels like if you don't get it that day it doesn't come. Everyone I have seen on here seems to have got it somewhere between instantly and 8 hours later or not at all. I applied for me and my mum but still not a sausage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't answer if you made a duplicate application on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, I am wondering if applications in processing on the 1st are in limbo. I registered right after the system went live and got approved last night (November 3rd 4:00 UTC+1). I made a single registration and got a confirmation mail.

Sounds like they are sorting applications based on submission datetime descending (i.e. latest pops to top of queue - would seem lucky if someone is assigned that moment), this wouldn't be surprising of this Thai/German IT partnership given they are handling their own outgoing transactional mail and running against known limits of hotmail/live/outlook for a non-reputable IP instead of using something sane like sendgrid (why many of you are having problems with certain emails). What a mess. Edited November 3, 2021 by asiam110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderLau Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE. My boyfriend and I applied November 1 and yesterday, we received the confirmation mail but not the TP QR. Today we re-registered and received the TP QR instantly. I think that today they are doing it automatically to correct the problems of the first days. Edited November 3, 2021 by WonderLau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustomucho Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Traveling is already stressful, Thailand asks for us to jump hoops, we jump the hoops only to be met by a lackluster system of approval. Sorry if this is nothing more than a rant but I have to get it off my chest. They should have agents ready to help tourist to do the paperwork, they should have streamlined the system and allowed us to review our application once it is sent. I had to change a flight, now I have to redo the whole application again, maybe it will take weeks before they iron out the system and we all have to make reservation BEFORE getting approved. I kinda foresaw it so I booked only on the 15 of November to be on the safe side and I am still stressed about it... I cannot imagine if your flight is supposed to be in 2 days... Meds, house closing, baggage, PCR test, airport transportation... all of those are still things people have to do after getting approved.... What a bad system Thailand put forward here... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the confirmation email instantly but no QR code so far. My first and second submissions went out on 1st of November in the evening, got a confirmation email 10+ hours later. So there is an improvement but its not instant for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grin Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I suspect that people that got immediate approval had vaccine certs with QR codes. Did anyone without QR codes get immediate approval? How about with the CDC cards from the US? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a 40 years old with lots of travel experience, pretty tech savy and I find it difficult to navigate their system. I could just shut up and eat it but I feel many people are in the same boat here. You can be defeatist and say "oh well it is Thailand" but it is like the factory worker seeing a problem on the line and saying nothing, they need to Kaizen that <deleted>, not just accept to be mediocre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
