The European Union (EU) has certified the “Thailand Digital Health Pass”, also called “Mor Prompt” vaccination records, to facilitate residents in Thailand to travel to over 60 countries/territories that are part of the EU Digital COVID Certificate System.

 

This has made Thailand become the second ASEAN country to join the system after Singapore, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told the Associated Press today, February 10th.

 

The approval allows Thai travelers to use the certificate recorded on the system and show their health and vaccination records of Covid-19 before traveling to countries/territories under the EU Digital COVID Certificate System or the EU DCC.

Dont get me wrong its good news but which countries can we enter though on a non EU passport? 

[Gandtee]

Will Switzerland be included and maybe he UK?

[internationalism]

this integration was going on since end of october.

Already several weeks was possible to upload thai QR vax into european health applications (green pass).

Sadly, not possible to upload european vax into morprom.

with all boosters coming in, thai ministry won't be able to keep up with who got what and when

That will depend on Switzerland and the UK. While Switzerland is part of the 'Schengen Area', and 'associated' to the EEA (European Economic Area), the UK isn't a member of either. My guess is that Switzerland may be included in the near future.

That's interesting. How does it work? You download the Green Pass, scan the Thai QR, and it's added?

yes.

works also with national health system applications - data from morprom is automatically added.

So in december I had in europe a full shot of moderna and was showing me a booster in some 4 weeks.

In january data about 2 pfizer from Thailand was uploaded and now I can't get more boosters in europe. 

[Pootegg]

Of course if the recognise the NHS  app  that evidence of vaccination  that would be good  without the need for the "gamble" of the entry into Thailand.. I would be booking 2 tickets to Thailand  .....

[regedit]

For a family, can vaxed children be added to the app installed on their parents phone, or everyone needs their own phone/app ?

Albeit a few years late !

I assume it’s good news for people going to Europe. But shouldn’t Thailand be making it easier for people to come here? I tried to register in test and go because I am going to Europe in May and need to return, but the drop down schedule only goes up to end March! So I can’t register for another couple of months.

So if I have 2 X MZ in Australia, registered there. How do I get this on the Thai system?

I did have my Pizza booster here, but that can't be listed in Australia unless I return there.

I read that getting Swiss certificate was easy for my Registered shots in Aussie, but the booster not.

 

[wombat]

How does that work if LOS doesn't recognize the Chinese vaxine that was used?

How did you get this? I just tried to scan the QR Code from the Mor Prom App with the EU Green Pass App but the code was not recognised.

[brucegoniners]

Nice app. Tried both my USA and Thailand QR codes. Couldn't read them. Sure this wasn't made in Thailand?

[Pabs]

Why would anyone want to leave Thailand? The rest of the world has gone to <deleted>

Yes but even being vaccinated does not get you into a European country, there are still restrictions on 3rd country nationals entering and some even barred at moment. 

 

All this just means EU recognise MOPH certificate, it does not give right to enter. though were other restrictions are in place at national level.

Probably. Google, or the official Swiss government websites are your friends.

 

Or just book a flight. At check-in you'll know...

 

I'm actually in the same boat, pondering whether I can use the Thailand Covid Pass later this year. For flying to Australia: probably, for Malaysia/Indonesia: quite likely, for NZ: who knows? (None of these countries will even let their representatives answer written enquiries, as they are, with the exception of parts of Indonesia, still closed for the average traveller. So, while I want to travel in September, for that reason alone, I cannot book anything now.)
