I applied for Thai Pass Thursday 1:30 am my time, which means Friday 1:30pm Thai time. I just realized the pass takes 3-7 ‘working’ days… arrival in Thailand is on Tuesday - really hope we’ll get the approval by then?🤦🏻‍♀️

A user inquires about the Thai Pass application timeline, noting they applied just before a tight deadline for travel to Thailand.

I and many others did experience the same issue earlier this week, cause the system was overloaded but that was resolved, having the access code means your information has been registered. Suggest calling the phuket sandbox helpline to investigate.

This is my strategy, first contact your hotels to ensure they've approved your bookings in the TP system, then call Dept for Disease Control +66 2 590

or 3000 for approval, a word of warning it make take up to 100 attempts but well worth it..let everyone know if it works out, good luck 👍
