I thought about that option, and then realized that another variant or whatever could happen in the next few months, and it would be better to go soon in case Thailand closed up again, and more importantly, travel home got difficult. I do agree we are another year until fully back to normal if then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qatar has my flight information (without my name!) on one page and my name without the flight information on the other page. Thanks! I also thought you needed to upload your flight details - don't know where I got that from, maybe a throwback from COE or maybe because the hotel wanted them. Anyway, you don't need to upload them - but you will have to submit them to the hotel so they can be included in the confirmation letter that you do need to upload. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to depend on where you live - some are told to isolate at home. You can bet your lucky stars we won't be allowed that concession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinrada Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 fio..The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is making Adjustments to the Thailand Pass system after tourists have had to wait long periods to receive their QR codes. They now are also allowing the use of PDF files to facilitate selection of their initial hotel which is linked to a hospital as well as coordinating with Hotmail service provider Microsoft to address an "issue". In the meantime, applicants are advised to use Non-Hotmail addresses to register.????♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily... We arrived at our AQ hotel at about 9:30am... We were PCR tested before going up to the room. We slept off jet-lag, woke up in the afternoon, chilled out. We called reception at about 5pm to ask if our PCR test results were available - they were (Negative). We checked out at 8pm (waited until rush-hour was over). Our PCR test results were ‘printed’ (results printed to PDF) at 1:30pm - thus I’m assuming we could have checked out shortly after 1pm. And yes... We were also provided with Antigen Test Kits - but given no information about what to do with them, where to upload the negative results etc... If we don’t upload any results I can’t see anything happening. A lot of the Covid-19 requirements are simply theatre, nothing more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had our PCR test about 10.30 so we will are waiting for the result. We were given the lateral flow test but no instrcution of what to do with them. Airport was smooth and quick with all the forms but I felt that after customs we coudl have just wandered free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merwan Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Let us know how it turns out.

I suspect most Americans will have this issue because the CDC card we were issued does not have any QR code. I applied on Monday this week but don't travel until 2nd week in December, so maybe Americans should allow a bit more time due to this point.

Enzian Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 There have been some posts suggesting that no QR codes from the US will work. But my confirmation from Kaiser does have such, so I guess I'll put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, well - you may have noticed that when you start the Thailand Pass application. you are required to read the rules and tick a box stating ' I hereby acknowledge that I have read, understood and accept the above information'.

I do agree we are another year until fully back to normal if then. Looking at a global uptick on Covid infection rates and the cyclic nature of 'flu season', a lot of the nations in the northern hemisphere are introducing or re-introducing all sorts of controls and safety measures, I think keeping track on near-term travel 'windows' may be better than 'try again next year'. I languished in Thailand for nigh-on 14 months before work popped up in May and travel restrictions entailed only 4 bloody quarantines as different nation's windows aligned. After 4 months, I headed back to the UK to get myself double-jabbed and now, after 7 weeks here, I see windows closing again so I am headed back to Thailand. I see my next window opening in April 2022... with quarantines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traveller101 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Since no Hotel in Phuket offers a 'Test and Go' package, which include Test and Transport fees, I booked the Test through the official website https//:thailandpsas.com The hotel (Baan Thai Hilton) listed the test incl. Receipt Nr. and room as fully prepaid. I used this 1-page document for the Thai Pass application. Applied 7 Nov, received instant confirmation in my gmail account but no QR-Code approval thus far. My question: Has anybody using the same method received approval and QR- Code? Thanks for any useful information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoYai Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) One thing I noticed when applying for Thailand Pass: When these new measures were announced, they caused some confusion and speculation because in a change from the old COE requirements that specified Covid 19 insurance, they were now asking for 'Health Insurance'. That suggests a more comprehensive level of medical cover. Yet when I made my application, I can't remember the exact wording but it definitely said Covid 19 insurance, it didn't say 'insurance that covers Covid 19. This is in addition to the differing statements regarding Antigen Tests on Day 6 or 7. Will they ever be clear on what they want? Do they even know?

That's a small number in the pool of folk wanting to come to Thailand. Just had an email from friend in Oz and he is looking forward to coming to Thailand to see his wife and young child in Udon. Lovely guy but seriously would have almost zero knowledge of IT. Prob thinks Hotmail is from a tinder chick.
