So I went and installed 'Allow CORS' chrome extension but it didn't work for me so I installed another one called 'CORS Unblock'.  This allows me to submit my details but I got an error saying 'Passport already used', so I went back and added a space at the end of my passport and it worked!!! 

 

 

Also got an email confirmation but I'm bloody travelling on the 7!!!!

They have been saying for a long time now to allow for 7 days of processing time, I hope for you they will be quicker than expected... the whole process is pretty stressful to be honest, between lack luster information and convoluted process, they are really pushing the the tourist will to travel.

Concerning my issue with dates, the hotel suggested I change my November 11 - 12 booking to November 12 - 13, which I did.

Change it in the online form or change your booking with the hotel?

My COE was approved last week so I'll just use that instead.

Hmmm..not a very good idea to add real numbers like "00" to your passport number. You can just put a blank (hit the spacebar) after the passport number. Any properly coded app should strip the blanks before the first and after the last characters of the passport number, but this thankfully is not properly done, otherwise we need to contact them for manual cleanup.

 

Hopefully you won't have problems at the Thai border.

 

 

ok!! I succeeded!  Turns out they also do validation by email address and passport number! They do not monitor the IP address.
After I continued to receive the message: "421 4.4.5 Too many messages from this host last hour" I just changed the email address to another email address I have .. and I succeeded! I received a confirmation email. 

Conclusions: 

1) If you get an error regarding the passport number - add a space.

2) if you get :421 4.4.5 Too many messages from this host last hour"  Change the email address to another address you have.

Thanks for the help! and good luck to everyone!

I'd say more like up and hobbling.  Buddy of mine from CA just gave up for the night.  All his docs are .pdf's and the site is bombing out.  Have steered him to the Adobe website that will convert .pdf to jpg for free after setting up a free account.  He has no programs that will convert .pdf or "save as" to another format.

 

https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/pdf-to-jpg.html

That's easy - just screenshot the PDF and save the screenshot as a JPG. If he's using Windows, Snipping Tool and / or Snip & Sketch are built in. I don't know Apple at all but have no doubt the same facility exists.

Looks like the Thailand Pass is sooooo much better than the COE! Tourists will be flooding in any minute!

TP is running about as well as a special olympian.

I added my passport number onto a pdf file under my name and date of birth using text tool.  I successfully used it to get COE approval.  I suggest you add in nationality as well as this has now been included in the TP requirements, e.g. "UK Passport No. 123456789". And then, of course, save as a jpg file.

This may work for a few people in the beginning, but eventually someone will notice that these passport numbers are not all in the same place if it gets more widely used.

The Thai Canadian Embassy called back... they are saying it should work even without the passport number on the vaccination card... 

 

Her answer "Of course Sir, not all information will be on the vaccination document, if your name and date of birth is enough"

 

I will try to send it normally and hope for the best I guess... I do have a handwritten paper with vaccine information here, I could just write passport number on it as it is a pretty non-useful document for Quebec/Canada...

The worrying part : I did not receive any confirmation emails so far.

I’ve had the successful registration twice without a confirmation email. Hopefully will hear something tomorrow….

[it is what it is]

interesting reading the replies. this system and process is clearly not designed to encourage tourism to thailand. it's for domestic consumption, the government want to the people to see they are doing something, but actually they are discouraging 'tourists' from visiting.

 

i'd suggest this will be the case until they get around 80% of the population double vaccinated, and the booster vaccinations underway.

Backend is running on and off intermittently. If IT-inclined, you can peek at the request being sent and resend that manually until you are lucky to get a server response. Otherwise, wait/resubmit form again until it works.

Note that some requests can get stuck registered but not processed correctly, and you'll get blocked from submitting a request with same passport number again, I've had to add a space into mine to get things moving again.

 

This system is a disaster.

This system is a disaster - too right!!

 

From your sentence beginning "If IT-inclined......" I know exactly what you mean, but if their system allows you to get at the backend that easily, security is almost zero! HELP!!!!!  And when you say "Otherwise, wait/resubmit form again until it works.".....I wonder what the timeout settings are!  Programming 101 ????

I went through all the pages and after the last page it gives me an API error!

 

Anyone knows what that means?

Read this thread from the top for a helpful answer but basically it means they got the programmers in Khao San Road 

[Maha Sarakham]

Still too many hoops to jump through.  Gonna wait on the sidelines until they change it, again.

[grin]

No luck at all on MacBook Pro running latest Mojave.

Safari and Firefox do nothing when clicking "Next" on Vaccination page after uploading CDC vaccine card.

When opening the page in Opera I get: Opera has recovered from a crash.

Chrome either hangs or says it cannot load the page.

Anyone able to successfully register using a mac?

Ive been trying both https://tp.consular.go.th/en/registration and https://tp.consular.go.th

[wulli88]

I tried many times few hours ago for myself. After 10 times it worked and said successful and i got the confirmation by email. After that i tried for my dad, easily 30 times. Always the server problem.

 

I already booked the flights and everything. I think without the thai pass it wont be possible to enter thailand ?

The fact that the users can control how the app behaves just by adding blanks around is worrying. It indicates that basic input checks are not done. Hopefully that's not an indication of the overall quality, otherwise they may have security issues sooner than later.

Should work and does work are not the same. I'm seeing many reports of that document being rejected for lack of passport number. Insane.

No, just reused and kept resubmitting

after I made the change it worked first time

To be clear, using your original passport number, you were unable to complete your application. Then, you added a space after your passport number, and was able to complete the application.

They've already got 'em mate. This whole system is what I have heard referred to as a ClusterF***!

OBVIOUSLY not been security or load tested.

I changed it with the hotel, they recognized the problem, and were very helpful.

Thanks. So, I am scheduled to arrive on 11/28 at 00:05. I was going to book 11/27-11/28 for the one night required. Sounds like if I do that then the system will give me the same problem you did. So, I need to negotiate with the hotel to actually book me for 11/28-11/29, right?

[Danderman123]

It seems that a lot of people get stuck here. After the insurance certificate is uploaded, hitting “submit” results in the insurance certificate disappearing.

 

So, how many times did you try this before succeeding?

 

Anyone have a fix?

I am on the same flight.

 

You need to book 11/28 to 11/29, as you suggest.

Over 3300 baht to 10000 baht for a one night Sha +. Hopefully includes fee for test. I'll wait till new year!

But Wi-Fi not included...????

I'd suggest that people that are flying in the second half of the month should save themselves some stress, chill out for a bit and let the more in need tourists be the guinea pigs.  Overloading the system unnecessarily isn't helping anyone.

Well they are, which is why the site is timing out today, as was expected on the first day.  If it's not enough tourists it's too much tourist demand causing the website to crashes.  Either way you all will whine about it.

If you land at 00:05, regardless of which AQ hotel you have booked, you will still be checking in on 11/28. They will know you are a Covid refugee and you will be allowed to check in as soon as you get there. The standard 'check-in after 14:00' doesn't apply in AQ world. You will spend the best part of 11/28 at the hotel so that's the day you book to check-in. If your test result arrives early evening you can check out on 28th and get on with your life. The hotel won't expect you to stay until check-out at 11:00 on 29th but you can if you want as you've paid for it..

More to the point, Thailand Pass staff are probably processing based on flight date, so if you are flying in December, expect a long wait for your QR code.
