Thai Pass approved in just 30 seconds

[rosiepose]

Guys I hope this is correct, I filled the Thai Pass with all documents (I'm not vaccinated).

 

And I got approved with QR code to my email in only 30 seconds.

 

Seems no humans involved anymore probably too many people... so if you submit everything it will be automatically approved.

 

Seems this whole game is mostly a honor system now.

 

Also I noticed some hotels are cancelling their 7 day and 10 day quarantine packages so I'm guessing Thai government will stop this system soon after they get tired of paperwork...

I guess if you are not vaccinated, you do not need the Test & Go PCR booking, or maybe not the Insurance if you are going to pay the ASQ hotel yourself.

Took mine 8 hours but for the Test & Go option with a Gmail address.

Everyone needs the same insurance. The only difference is that I didn't upload evidence of vaccines.

And ‘some’ airlines will allow you on without proof of vaccination or a PCR test result.

 

i.e. Qatar Airways does not demand a PCR negative test or proof of vaccination (when travelling to Qatar).

ok . i australian. qantas wont let u on without doublevacc proof. my mistake.

How 4*cking silly. So I could be sitting next to an un-vaxxed, untested person.

Your assumptiom you'll be safe next to a vaxxed person is false.

 

Who's safer to sit next to depends on so many factors your head will spin.

Agreed - I don’t like the idea that flying to Thailand I could be sat next to an unvaccinated Thai person who is not required to take a PCR test before the flight - this just seems wrong. 

 

While vaccinated people can still carry and transmit the virus there is a reduced probability of doing so especially when combined with a negative PCR test - this of course does not eliminate risk, but risk of in-flight transmission is sufficiently reduced that not insisting on these measures seems a little silly IMO. 

 

From a selfish point of view I would like to see airlines enforce such measures so that my family and I face less risk when travelling - I’m not worried about contracting Covid-19 from a ‘detriment to health’ point of view, but I do not wish to face a 14 days hospitel quarantine that could prove costly because someone decided vaccination is not for them and airlines didn’t feel PCR tests were necessary (at least do as much as possible to support the reduction of risk).

I think more Thais than you think may be getting a test before traveling due to many airlines requiring it.

I would hope so...  However, a PCR test is not a requirement to travel on the airlines I have flown this year (Qatar, Finn, Emirates).

 

Pre-flight PCR tests were a requirement only by destination:

 

A pre-flight PCR test is not required flying to Qatar in the second half of the year, a PCR test is administered on arrival.

 

A pre-flight PCR test is not required flying to the UK, for vaccinated individuals a PCR test is ‘pre-booked’ and taken on day two of arrival (this test requirement has now been changed to Antigen test).

For unvaccinated individuals a two PCR tests are ‘pre-booked’ and taken on day 2 and 8 after arrival, travellers are also required to ‘home isolate’ for 10 days.

 

A pre-flight PCR test is required for all vaccinated individuals flying to Thailand, but, not for unvaccinated Thai’s who have to quarantine - which IMO is an extremely odd regulation - thus those unvaccinated Thai’s travelling to Thailand on Emirates, Qatar, Finn Airways do not have to present a pre-flight PCR test. 

 

I think its a valid point that not many Thai’s travelling into Thailand would not be vaccinated as many nations offer vaccination to everyone no matter their residential status in that nation. Additionally, most Thai’s are not silly enough to be anti-vaxxers as if their rights are impeded by a government trying to protect its citizens.

Korean Air told me it was entirely up to destination and pointed me to part of their website with country drop down menu.

Yes, government does a good enough job on its own.

But he will be a damn site more safe sitting next to a vaccinated person than an unvaccinated person.  Stop spreading stupid rumours.  Do you have doctorate in disease control?  Didn't think so.  It's people like you that encourage the spread of this, at times deadly virus.  At least with the vaccination, it radically reduces the incidence of spreading and the number of fatalities!

Hmmm... no system is perfect. They must have made a mistake issuing your pass so quickly ????

When applying to the Thailand Pass for the 10 day Alternative Quarantine option the approval has always been immediate. 

 

This was actually a ‘workaround’ to securing Thailand Pass approval as a Plan B to get you in the door when people were not getting approvals in the first week of operation (and still applying with a 1 night Test and Go booking).

@ubonjoe The only misinformation on this topic is people saying airlines required vaccines and that vaccinated passengers cannot spread COVID.

 

Both of these are false.

The post about airlines was quickly corrected by more than one poster.

Yeah. Seems to be quite presumptuous from some that any/every Thai will be less likely to be tested/vaccinated than that of your average and superior Euro-type. Predictable and sad commentary from the usual circles. 

[kevin612]

I believe USA can’t approve immediately because we have a vaccinated card and don’t have any QR code.
