Upnotover Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 For what it's worth, it's within 72 hours before departure, not arrival. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian carman Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 How hard is it to create a file and upload documents for the Thailand pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Polar Bear Posted January 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2022 Unless it's changed, the main hassle I had was that most of the documents they want are PDF files but they want them as JPG. If it's just one page, you can take a photo or screen shot, but it's harder for multipage documents (like insurance and the hotel booking.) There are lots of websites that let you convert PDF to JPG online for free, or you can download 'universal document converter', which installs as a printer and you print to file and create a JPG that way. For multipage documents I use this website https://www.filesmerge.com/merge-jpg which merges multiple JPGs into a single long JPG. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Polar Bear Posted January 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think the rest of the entry rules (the stupid testing, having to do the hotel hokeykokey, the potential for expensive quarantine just for sitting next to a stranger on the plane who later tests positive, plus quarantine in an overpriced hospital/hospitel if you are positive but asymptomatic) put more people off than the excessive paperwork. I can't imagine why tourists would bother to jump through all their ridiculous hoops at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know from many reports that it's jpeg only but why can't you take 2 screen shots/pics and upload 2 pages for a 2 page document? Many have said they are just using an iPad or iPhone to do this for Thailand pass as well. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The form for the new 2 day quarantine Thai Pass doesn't open until tomorrow, so it could change. For the 1 day pass you had to upload each document to a specific box, and you could only upload one file per box. So if your insurance was on 2 pages, you couldn't upload 2 separate JPGs to the 'insurance' box, you had to combine them into one file. If you tried to upload a 2nd image, it would just overwrite the 1st one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallmk Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I was able to upload multiple documents to each field when I did our passes early December. if you can view the PDFs on your phone a screenshot will be a jpg, that’s what I did. Your airline will want to see the test to check in and probably at any flight changes. I did in Zurich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar Bear Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm trying to apply for a Thai Pass now with the new 2-day regulations. I wasn't able to upload 2 JPGs for the insurance. The 2nd file overwrote the first, so I had to upload a merged file with both pages. There is a note saying you can upload PDFs at the end, but you can't get past each screen without uploading the JPG first, so I am not sure how that helps. My first attempt failed because I forgot to activate the CORS extension in Chrome to get past the API error. My second attempt failed because it wouldn't accept the QR code off the regular Thai vaccination certificate. I had to use the one off the international certificate. My third attempt failed because when I got to the end it said there was 'insufficient space on the device'. I'm not sure what that error is, all the files were well within the file size limits, but I will make them smaller and try again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 A small update, I was able to get it submitted eventually. Got the code, checked it was 'under review', all fine. Next day it had gone AWOL from their system with the error message 'the information is not registered', so I had to reapply. Fun fun fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
