Is this feat possible to do on an iPhone or I pad do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnikaIII Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 13 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Hopefully the failure of this mess will make them think again about all this tripe and come up with something sensible. The most sensible alternative is to drop it. It is an obstacle. Government 'obstacles' are similar to taxes. Once implemented, they are difficult to get rid of. They can be decreased (rarely) or increased, (usually). But it takes a vulcanic change in government to remove them. The COE was a control messure, a feature of police states. This new thing is also a control measure, with one advantage that it takes away the power of embassies to impose their own, personal bias to grant or deny. Now it's to be an algorithm doing the work. If it's not subject to human interference, it should be as simple as checking in luggage at modern airports, such as Tullamarine, Melbourne, Australia. So if the intention is indeed honourable, and this is actually about streamlining the entry process, all should go as planned. However, concept is one thing, but of course, any equipment is only as good as the designer and the people who manufacture it. If they really are smart enough to come up with tracking devices, and spying on Facebook accounts, what could possibly go wrong? ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will happen if any real traffic starts?? (Not too worry real traffic will not come while all these hoops exist) Look at their history of online apps....90 day check in online...Look at the Chiang Mai Que system for visa extension appointments....all blew up Not to mention data breach etc etc Thailand either open or don't....Look at other countries like USA or some parts of Europe see how it is basically back to what it was before C19?

Popular Post chilli42 Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 The COE was reviewed and processed by the local embassy/consulate. Issues, delays, questions could be discussed and resolved with the “local” Thai staff. In the case of the consulate I have been dealing with they have been amazingly helpful. The Thailand pass is all online and is handled in Thailand … if there is a problem or question it’s not going to be quick or easy to sort out. I’m going to miss the COE! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Charlie Halliday Posted November 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 What most people don't fully understand is that Thailands economy is way more dependent on tourism than the 15% of GDP figure they loosely throw around. Its more like 30% when you add on the unseen intangibles. The amount of money we give to our respective Thai families, paying medical bills, repairing property, hiring family for unskilled labour, buying food, and the list goes on. So if travellers don't come because of the stupid test and go policy, I'm pretty sure this govt will have to drop all restrictions by next month other than the compulsory proof of double Vax. The cost of test and go plus covid is too high and is about the same as a pre covid economy flight from the UK. People won't pay double to come here unless they have family here. There are plenty of better options elsewhere. Amazing how this govt never consult us farang who have lived here for years and sent millions supporting the economy. Bizarre really. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cape Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) The Thailand Pass is working very well, technically. Analysis, design and coding performed by a Thai software house. Bravo! It does demand a lot of info, but most people are powerless and have no choice but to share all the personal private identity details of their lives with big brother govts across the world. One point - the health insurance : the whole form works by asking questions, you answer and rhen it demands proof of your answer in the shape of a single image scan. Yet health insurance has typically three documents of relevance - *one is your Schedule (1 to 4 pages, with your ID and the policy ID); *another is the policy itself (maybe 100 pages and a general doc that does not mention you); *third, an extract showing covid cover (a page or two, again no mention of you). My question would be : a screen shot of which health insurance doc is wanted? Because you only get to upload one image.

Yes, although becomes illegible. My bet is they will approve the Pass and check at Immigration. My other bet is they won't check at Immigration, just cursory. The policy is 100+ pages. They want the doc.s printed out to check. No-one can print and carry a policy doc. All will become clear from the feedback here from early adventurers.

I have entered erroneous information and submitted inadvertently. I received an email of confirmation a few minutes later ( under consideration and decision within 7 days) my questions: 1)have you applied again after receiving this email ? 2) Have you entered exactly the same informations? or have you modified the way the passport number was written by allowing a space between the letter and the numbers ? sorry but I am kind of worried as it is impossible to get in touch with the people in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
