Chief500 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Can anybody help please, as I've received conflicting information? Will my daughter (13) be eligible for the Thailand Pass? She has recently recovered from Covid and I have a certificate from the GP to confirm this and she will be vaccinated a month before arrival in Thailand. I asked the consulate and the same question and they said 1 jab is not fully vaccinated. The consulate website states - Travellers who have recovered from being infected by COVID-19 are eligible if they have received 1 dose of vaccine within 3 months after being infected (no less than 14 days before departure) by providing a medical certificate or letter confirming their recovery from the infection. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/requirements-for-foreigners-travelling-to-thailand-during-covid-19-tra Anybody managed to get a pass with the above? I half did the pass application and it allows you to choose to upload 2 vaccinations or chose recovered from infection certificate and 1 vaccination cert upoad Thanks Edited November 9, 2021 by Chief500 update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am cancelling as we speak as I was supposed to fly from Canada on 11th early morning and have had NO response on Test and Go (many applications starting from Nov 2nd with a couple email addresses and covering all the recommendations on this forum for cropping vaccine QR codes etc). I have emailed the support and Thai pass sites and called the number (66 2 572 8842... this is a joke, I am sure they are doing the best they can. Maybe place the "joke" on the thousands of people who have made 10, 15, 20 or more applications clogging up the system indefinitely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this as a minimal requirement for possibly many years. Just about every country in the world is starting to require this why would they let a bunch of people on a place without a test, then take a greater risk when they arrive?

stickymango Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 AXA insurance question: I was just rejected due to" Please re-submit insurance showing passenger name and medical coverage at least 50,000 USD" My AXA policy has 3 pages 1) Insurance Certificate in English 2) “The Schedule” Inbound Travel Insurance policy with the premium paid. 3) Receipt with the policy number, my name and the total paid. Can anyone please tell me which of these 3 forms I should submit? All this is very frustrating… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone please tell me which of these 3 forms I should submit? All this is very frustrating… All of them. Merge them into one document using: https://products.aspose.app/pdf/merger/jpg-to-jpg or similar. You may have to reduce the filesize if the result is over 5mb. From my post on another thread: Sent my application in around midnight last night - received the pass this morning around 6.30am. Its possible that they are pushing them through now due to the backlog. I separated my two NHS vaccine certificates (easy with a basic program like Paint) but as the NHS ones have a QR code on them, I didn't crop that and insert it into the additional QR code box. There's not a cat in hell's chance that my insurance documents will have been undertstood - I will have the full policy with me on entry though. I should note that it was recommended (by Salerno I think?) to use a merge program to join my insurance documents up - as the required information is spread over several pages. I did that but it resulted in a filesize of around 8.5 mb - the maximum allowed is 5mb. If you need to do the same and that happens to you, again a basic program like Paint will sort it out. Open Paint Click File then Open Select the merged document Click Resize In the Resize box make sure the Percentage tab is checked and change it to say 50 (that reduced mine to around 4.5mb) Click OK then back to File and Save - you're done. Most PC's have Paint and its not difficult - believe me, I'm not computer savvy at all. https://aseannow.com/topic/1238471-success-my-thailand-pass-qr-code-arrived-last-night/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-16965633 I merged 5 pages from my policy.

I am not sure I got my money's worth though ????????. I think my Thai Pass not being approved is a blessing in disguise when I read the below newsletter below . I don't need a 350,000 THB bill for a "forced" hospital visit and have medication force fed to me if I test positive for Covid and have no symptoms are not sick especially if it caused by a Thai National (no offence intended) who is travelling on the plane that is not required to be vaccinated and does not need a "pre-covid" test before the flight..... If am within a certain undefined distance from this person on the plane and they test positive then I will be forced to quarantine (hospital or hospitel). I believe that a Thai national can travel to Bangkok under AQ Thai Pass without vaccination and without a pre-flight Covid Test... this is a bit disturbing to me as my risk of getting Covid on the flight is greatly increased..... Nov 9, 2021 The Nightmare of Testing Positive on Arrival in Thailand Richard Barrow's Letters from Thailand @richardbarrow Today’s special newsletter is about the nightmare that falls upon you if you test positive on arrival in Thailand. This is what happened to Kirovs, a tourist who came to Thailand with his family. He is now in hospital and his family are in hotel quarantine.

stickymango Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 AAAARRRGGG! Just got rejected "Please upload paid hotel reservation confirmation that include RT-PCR test" My hotel reservation CLEARLY includes this and I paid for it. So frustrating!!! I've been applying for the Sandbox since I was just in Mexico but live in US. I'm tempted to just apply for the test and go and leave off the Mexico since I already have the 7 day hotel reservation in Bangkok and will stay in the sandbox.

drenddy Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Does anybody know what happens to thai nationals, should they be tested positive at arrival or be close contact? Taken to hospital, regardless of symptoms? Hospitel? Isolation at home? I am trying to figure it out, nobody has a <deleted> clue..The hotel(Grande Sukumvit 55) has Sukumvit Hospital as partner and told me she(wife)will be taken to hospital, however, I find it difficult to believe she will be admitted to a private hospital, if she has no symptoms?
