If you are using the snipping tool, just save it, no need to mess around after.

Thanks.

 

Yes, I'm using the Windows Snipping Tool (small scissors) icon.

 

So I do a snip, then open the File list and scroll down and click on 'Save'.

 

Now I'm lost, how do I construct a file name? Do I do something (in establishing the file name) which 'magically' moves the item into the TP application form?  Or???

 

 

Snip - save the file to your hard drive (name doesn't matter) - upload to TP site in relevant area.

Coming up on day 7 after filing my first TP application and receiving an email confirmation. Then..... Nothing. 

 

 

Still waiting.... 

I received a QR code approval email for my November 4 application.  

There is no reason for the Thailand Pass. The QR code is likely a big part of the problem, and why is

that needed on this form anyway.  Passports, and visas should be the only official pieces needed.

  I wonder just how many more months of delays it will take for the Thai government to drop this

form?

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!

Reading this thread, I'm grateful that my COE was approved prior to 1 November and that I can still use it when I fly on Thursday. What a mess!

To be clear, you obtained a Test and Go approval, via the COE process.

 

Did the COE app have an option to choose a one night hotel quarantine?

I just asked the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra, Australia. My question was:

 

- Should I submit the whole detailed *Medicare International Covid- 19 Vaccination Certificate which includes a QR code,

OR

- Should I submit only the QR code?

 

               _{(*Medicare International Covid- 19 Vaccination Certificate - specific to Australians.)}

 

Their quick response was 'submit the whole document':

Just trying to get registration. I hold a Thai Certificate of Residenc (23 years).

 

I clicked on 'Returning to Thailand'.

 

The the online reg. form asks 'how many days'.

 

The real answer is 'forever' which I tried but not accepted, lso tried 1 day and 99 days, both not accepted.

 

Have any other Thai PR holders completed the Thailand Pass registration? What did you insert for 'How many days'?

 

Thanks.

Sorry to rain on the parade of those who love to complain, but they managed to greatly improve and streamline the existing COE process over the past year, improving the online upload process. It was much easier this time around, I expect this will also improve with time. As I've said before, a lot of problems occur because people make mistakes in their applications, then they blame the system. I can't see how anyone could reasonably expect something like this to get off the ground without some bugs. The USA is a god awful bloody mess of whiners who don't want to wear masks or get vaxxed, in spite of 725,000 dead. If anyone knows where that perfect world exists against which you measure Thailand and that you are using to base your complaints on, please post directions. But hey, I understand that taking potshots at the shortcomings of Thailand is a sport for most of you, which, if taken away, would leave a great vacuum in your lives. So, carry on, while the rest of us chuckle to ourselves at your curmudgeonly absurdity. 

Stop simpin. This whole scheme is obtuse and absurd, and all by design. They don’t want farangs there, and this is a real convenient way to keep them out.

 

In Spain, where I am, you need a PLF and a vax cert. that’s it. The whole country is booking 2000 cases/day. Meanwhile Thailand is booking 4x that and those are the ones we know about. Only those with vested interests are jumping through the hoops to get there. You can see the evidence everywhere. Manufactured complexity, just how the Thai government wants it.

 

And the silly comments on masks and vax…if those were actually truly effective, this virus would’ve run out of hosts to infect by now. All the vax does is keep you from getting deathly sick, studies worldwide show the vaxt harbor and shed the virus as much as the un-vaxt. Masks merely limit the amount of aerosolized saliva that gets into the air, they don’t stop viral particles. The debate on this has long since been settled. I hope your brown envelope is fat.

Thai’s have also struggled with the Thailand Pass application and processing - the idea that ’they don’t want farangs there here’  is preposterous and is the musings of a Thai Basher.

Can’t disagree with that - the only reason I’ve jumped through the hoops so many times (4x) is that I work overseas and live in Thailand (with family here).

 

IF the Thailand Pass works reliably then there is no issue - this past week has been an utter disaster for the Thailand Pass which clearly wasn’t beta tested - they (the Thai MoPH) have royally stuffed up. 

 

Some of the issue can be blamed on dim people submitting the wrong information etc and many excuses peddled by the MoPH digital programers is pointing the finger towards the failure of people to apply properly which is a highly juvenile response instead off accepting they really screwed the pooch.

There shouldn’t need to be a “Thailand Pass” in the first place.
 

The paper TM.6 form that they make you fill out every time you’re inbound to Bangkok, a vaccination certificate, the appropriate visa, and MAYBE a negative PCR/NAAT test should be all you need to enter Thailand. Nothing else. And the numbers will continue to play out that story until the Thai government get their heads out of their bums and stop manufacturing all this difficulty.
 

If they wanna make an app that you can upload this info into to get a QR code, cool. But anything else and the majority of tourists aren’t gonna go for it. All that just to get there and have a better chance of getting covid anyway? Eff outta here.

 

And not that I need to prove anything to you? But I have a piece of property that’s likely become a beehive after two years away and Thai friends who can’t wait to have me back, so get off me with this “Thai basher” nonsense. This has nothing to do with the Thai people and everything to do with the ????????s that run the country. You wanna act like they aren’t purposefully making it difficult for farang to come there, you go right ahead. I’mma deal with what is.

Does that mean that the Thailand Pass documents are automatically checked or just the Certificate and then a human team manually checks the rest? because I do not see any progress on my application a week after I applied

Or maybe I should apply once more

Some people are getting amazingly quick approvals while others are taking many days. I assume the quick ones are the result of no manual review at all.

I am under the impression that it is  what is asked on the Certificate page when registering for the Thailand Pass. Also one is asked to upload a QR code (only) in order to facilitate the registration

Sharing experience. Tried to submit to Thailand Pass for "Swab-and-Go" scheme on 01 Nov on go-live. On 02 Nov, used the "space after passport and insurance" and got the green check mark with the "will reply in 7 days" confirmation mail shortly after. Waited 3-8 Nov with no reply with a flight fast approaching 12 Nov, so asked somebody in my company in Thailand who handles our relationships with government. It was suggested to talk directly to local embassy/consulate as the system is administered by Thai Embassy and Ministry of Public Health. This morning 09 Nov called Thai Consulate in Chicago. Grumpy Thai guy said "nothing they can do as Thailand Pass is serviced by Department of Health" and recommended I send an email to [email protected]. Not wanting to give up, I called the Thai Embassy in Washington, DC. Friendly Thai lady asked my passport number and full name, then said she would check with Thailand Pass team, telling me to look in my mail in the afternoon. Literally 10min later an email popped in with Thailand Pass QR code. Job done. Lesson for me was to go directly to the main Embassy and not a Consulate.

You are terribly misinformed.

 

Vaccination can prevent infections by up to 90%.

 

Although vaccinated individuals suffering rare breakthrough infections can carry the same viral load as an infected person, they do so for a much shorter time period.

Best to use the number of days you are covered on your insurance certificate. If you don’t have an insurance certificate because you have Thai Social Security, use 30 days.

Thailand Pass Helps Lower International Arrivals

 

 

 

Edited November 9, 20214 yr by steven100

TP is a valve can be open/closed or some where in between

 

before you can book a flight bkk visa exempt thats open

 

Now that is a journey to the unkown

...long as you know how to convert pdfs etc to jpg....which majority of older people don't know how to do...is that garbage still on the application steps ?

 

I bet so.

the statement, TP..streamlines arrival is very accurate, .... ...by eliminating tourists from applying

I also clicked "Returning to Thailand". I have a 1-year extension for retirement, until Feb 2022.

under "how many days" I inserted 94, which was the days left unti the end of my extension.

The process completed without problems, now waiting for the result.

I've since spoken to the MFA who quickly advised 'insert 999'. Seems that this is a code specific to breaking such situations.

 

It worked, within another 10 minutes I submitted my application and instantly got an e.mail confirming receipt of my TP application. Now waiting for a result.

But that doesn't work for holders of a Thai Certificate or Residence (Permanent Resident - PR) there is no 'number of days - a Certificate or Residence is issued for lifetime (until death), and therefore there is no renewal. 

 

I contacted the MFA, they advised to insert 999. I did and it worked, 10 minutes later I submitted my completed TP application and instantly got an e.mail confirmation that my TP has been received.

Agreed, in reality the TP online application requires submitting  a scan of the whole Vaccination history and in a further item, submit just the QR code.

If the vax is so effective in preventing infection, then why are drug companies already pushing boosters for everyone, not even a  full year after the vaccines' introduction?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24895500/

 

We know the vaccine isn't sterilizing. We know it is a leaky vaccine that doesn't offer the kind of protection that, say, a smallpox vaccine does. We are already seeing increasing numbers of infections among the fully vaccinated. It doesn't matter that the time period is shorter, it matters whether they get and spread the virus or not. Please GTFO with this utter nonsense. Or try and base it on some data that isn't months old. ????

Also, none of this has anything to do with Thailand Pass or the fact that this scheme is going to ultimately fail until they drop these ludicrous, nonsense requirements, especially since you have a better chance of getting COVID while you're in Thailand after jumping through all these hoops!
