This is not unusual in the uk im so over it, I’ve got my blagged AQ pass if all else fails. They can deal with me in person when im there. I’m just not interested anymore I’m not even stressed, I’ve invested in Thailand not that it makes any difference to them and unfortunately I can’t just turn my back and walk away but if this was not the case I would never ever bother with the place after all this. What an absolute joke. I know Thai’s who are so red faced about all this so much so they have called me to say sorry on behalf of government. I had the same with one of my tries. It was because I cropped the image too much and missed off my name as it is at the top of the page. I didn’t take much notice at the time as I assumed my name was along side the box with the bar code. Don’t give up. I hear PM as ordered TP to get their act together.

I applied on 2 November with all required documents. I work in Thailand with Digital Work Permit. BOI company, which is partnered with a UK investment firm. And I need to be back for work. When should I start panicking? What options do I have in pursuing them for approval? Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks J You can always apply again via Alternative Quarantine.

When I heard that passes were being issued for flight dates well past mine I really felt that I was lost in the system. Support@ replied within the hour with the Pass. Nice to know that I’m not alone in the misery of the last week. I have said sorry to the cat ! Hello, thanks for adding! I just did exactly as you mentioned for 4 of us. Hopefully I hear something back soon fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Twin Peaks Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 Success! Applied on November 2nd and received instant email on gmail at 8:30am US time. Used chrome in incognito mode, got the success message at the end of the application. Received QR code just after 1am Sunday morning, so just short of a 5 day wait. Only submitted 1 application. Used a US CDC card with my passport number added to it. I had the one shot J&J so that was recognized without issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used ‘this method’ (Alternative Quarantine method) I uploaded exactly the same documents (vaccine cert, 1 night AQ booking, Insurance). 1 night in quarantine on arrival was also stated in the ‘dates section’. Approval was provided with those documents and based on that info. I was very happy and relieved when receiving the confirmation QR based on this option 4 days before flight. The alternative is waiting blindly and hoping - which for a family is not an option, especially in light of news that some (on other Thai forums) have had to cancel flights & received the QR after the departure of their planned flight. I revered the ‘Exempt from Quarantine’ QR the following morning. In hindsight, I’m still glad I had the ‘plan B’ option and have little doubt it would have worked without any issues.

Tuvoc Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The rejection because of the lack of the middle name on the NHS Covid Pass should be resolved I'd say, it is just someone being overly bureaucratic at the Thai end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit your UK NHS vaccine cert to include your middle name & resubmit. To put things in perspective I know a handful of folk who are facing issues & being forced to play silly buggers due to uncertain & contradictory circular requirements. At least there’s the planB AQ option to fall back on if you don’t receive the response your resubmission (with edited NHS cert) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If traveling on the AQ option - I’d book a refundable 10 day AQ hotel though Agoda - print off the booking confirmation then cancel the booking !!! The idea of using the AQ option (if needed) was to get through / past the humans at airline check-in so we can at least catch the flight & then face the humans at the other end who can make an informed decision based on the evidence of vaccine certificates. Its not the entry requirements being bypassed…, just finessing a flawed system to ‘check the right boxes’… Not perfect - but a solid plan B nevertheless.

The Alternative Quarantine method was recommended by the Ministry during the last week of COE processing, when COE was the only way to get Test and Go approval. Prior to November 1, if you wanted to visit Thailand and were fully vaccinated, it was necessary to apply for a COE, but the COE app did not support Test and Go, so the Ministry recommended applying for a 10 day quarantine but uploading your one night hotel confirmation letter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just stay at home all year and avoid all travel !!!! It depends on people’s circumstances. I deliberately booked with an airline that allows changes if amended in advance but I doubt if that would apply if I turn up for the original flight and am denied boarding for not having the correct documents. Also I’m planning on taking a domestic flight after I’m released from Test & Go and having an AQ QR code could also cause problems with boarding that flight. In my situation for a 2 week holiday, I’m prepared to take the risk of testing positive (although am doing everything in my own control to avoid infection) but am not willing to risk turning up to the airport with the wrong documentation for an AQ entry and possibly losing the full cost of my flights.
