NanLaew Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 2 hours ago, StefanGer said: I just got my Thailand Pass and wanted to share my experience. Our flight is going tomorrow and we have been applying for approval since November 1. 1. On November 1, we got the API error like everyone else (seems this issue is generally solved now); 2. After solving the API issue by adding 4 spaces to the passport number (this is no longer necessary), I applied with a hotmail address: Got neither a confirmation nor an approval; 3. Yesterday I tried again using my business address: Got a confirmation but no approval; 4. Today I tried again using a web.de address: Got a confirmation but no approval; 5. I then made new pictures of my QR-Codes and tried again, using the same web.de address: Got approval within a second (literally). I really don´t know what made the difference. I had all documents perfectly in place (including the QR-Codes) since the first day - the new pictures I sent were no different from the ones before. So this is certainly not helpful - but it probably makes sense to try again several times if you don´t get a quick response (though that´s certainly not helping the system). Good luck to you all. Very helpful, danke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance start date (same as arrival date?)? Or end date? If your insurance policy states 'start date', that's the same meaning as 'effective date'. If your insurance policy states 'effective date', that's the same meaning as 'start date'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that you put the same certificate and QR codes in both vaccination 1 and 2 boxes I have two certs. One is the EU vaccination cert and the other is on The Covid Tracker app which you can download to your phone. You probably dont need two but I used them as TP asked for Covid cert in two places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Doe Bkk Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I have been told my vaccine certificate needs to be in English. I had my j&j shot in south America so that can't be changed. I entered my details on 1 november onto the system and a few more attempts 2 and 3 november. Confirmation emails received but no qr. I pre booked and paid for 1 night accomodation with airport pickup and per test plus an additional 10 nights in aq + hotel. I then tried to register under the alternative quarantine section of thailand pass website with all the required documents and was sent an automated code straight away. Either way. I will board with that qr code. So if any of you are in a panic and flights leaving soon I would suggest this . many ways to skin a cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you upload the whole of the EU certificate or just the portion you have showed as half the info is upside down if you show the whole certificate?

If your insurance policy states 'effective date', that's the same meaning as 'start date'. As we were not sure of what to show, we decided to compile a lot of pages in a single JPG file. It included the front page of our purchase with details on the policy number, names, effective dates etc. Another page summarizing the cover. Lastly we added an e-mail from the insurance mentioning that it does cover for Covid. The JPG file looked like a patchwork of 8 sheets collated together (not like a scrolling pdf doc).

bobstl Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 3 hours ago, NanLaew said: Huh? You can't see the difference between a mandatory 14/21 day quarantine and a 12/24 hour test-and-release program? I was pointing out that most countries have various requirements for entry at the moment, and they rely on the airlines to check that passengers have the required documentation at checkin. They don't try to check it all themselves beforehand on some poorly thought out web system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caggo Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 So, i called the embassy in Vienna. I have been told that if I got the confirmation email, and not the QR code instantly, I should wait for 7 days as is mentioned in the email. If i dont get the QR code in time, then i have to postpone the flight (this got me mad as hell, because I did everything right, it is not my fault that I wouldnt have it). Then the lady told me that if i dont have it a day before my flight, I should contact them again. This thing is pissing me of so much. Especially the attitude. Thai located embassies (as far as I know) are not providing ANY official information, about the API errors, no emails coming through, QR codes not coming through. People are figuring it out like Sherlock Holmes. And when you get in touch with your local Thai Embassy, they tell you its not their fault 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I paid for 10 days in a hotel as I will be staying in bkk anyway. And it is an approved Aq+ hotel. I certainly don't intend to be stuck inside the hotel as I have all the correct documentation. But I will explain that when I arrive in bangkok. Rather that then rocking up at the departure airport without qr code. In the meantime I am still waiting for my thailand pass to be emailed to me. But if they don't I will fly with the qr code they sent me for the alternative quarantine. It was an automated email sent back straight away. It's up to you what you want to upload in terms of accomodatuon . I just happen to plan to stay the ten days anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet if you show up at BKK without Thai Pass they'll make it work and get you a room and covid test. I'd guess the same thing... especially if you had all the Vaccine Certificates, AQ and hotel Swab Bookings (including transport) - which kind of makes the Thailand Pass utterly pointless. But, turning up at an airport is a huge gamble to take knowing that at Check-in someone who is up-to-date with the Thailand Pass requirements could refuse check-in without the Pass. --------- That Said: I am now wondering if its worth while to doctor an old Certificate of Entry Paper so that We (my family and I ) can pass check-in at the airport and *catch the flight to Thailand ... then worry about admittance into Thailand once in Bangkok (as we have all the Vaccine Certificates, Hotel booking (with PCR and transfer) we meet all the entry requirements. Its just the total failure of the Thailand Pass which is impeding our travel at the moment. *As missing the flight will incur a loss of £2200 worth of tickets and I don’t see why the failure to implement a system properly should cost me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fault is not from our end so whatever needs to be done as far as I'm concerned. I ain't going to be losing the money I spent. Furthermore I have been jabbed with johnson and johnson .

Danderman123 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 It certainly seems that, if you don't receive your QR code instantly after successfully submitting your application, your application just disappears. I don't see many people receiving their TP code the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm sceptical given if you are refused at BKK the airlines are responsible for getting you back and in this case face being fined, airlines aren't that accommodating.
