I justed got rejected on my Visa application marriage O.AFTER 10 YEARS of having retirment visa,that expired due to covid.They said must start a new application,after 4 days of uploading 12 documents.AND pay again ,the money isnt the issue,but the principle of stealing farang money is deplorable.My advise DONT go and if you do only take the money that will never come back.Trust investment experience,everything is non.tranparent and deporable in this LOS.

@Chris ********************
ok thanks I understand and yes that makes sense it’s just the waiting Francesco **********
do u all have the passport number mentioned on your covid certificate?! in switzerland they didn’t write it… im quite worried about…….
Nikk ******
@Francesco *********
no - no one in America has passport number written on the card they gave us - not even if you log in cdc website online to view the certificate - I made sure to include the online QR code to scan for my vaccine info though .Francesco **********
@Nikki *****
great, thx!!
Frédéric ******************
@Francesco *********
Almost no country wrote the passport number in the vaccine certificate because1. You get vaccinated to avoid catching a disease, not to travel
2. Not everyone has a passport.
Steve *******
@Frédéric ****************
I think he means the $50k covid insurance cert.Francesco **********
@Frédéric ****************
ah, ur message had the big power to calm me down a bit, so i can still hope that it will be fine. thx!Ahsan ******************
OP@Francesco *********
yes brother. Need passport number mentioned. Francesco **********
@Ahsan *****************
i hate this fucking covid!!!! Terry ********
@Francesco *********
it's not the covid. It's all the stupidity around it.Carl ********
What happens iff pass does not come through in time can you still catch your flight or would you not be allowed to board the plane
Pui *****
@Carl *******
you absolutely will not be allowed to board the plane without the Thailand Pass approval QR code. The airline is required to check very carefully because they are liable for returning you if they let you fly. Carl ********
@Pui ****
I here you mate have had enough of it utterly bullshit what they put us through not to mention possible losing your flight hotel reservation and all the other stuff you have had to obtain to try and get to Thailand so I can be with my wife I am so sad because I just stare at the phone waiting for an email that might not be coming Carl ********
@Pui ****
iff not had email saying received my pass or my application then it don’t look good 100% said pass then press okay Carl ********
@Pui ****
I did not receive an email that’s what’s worrying meCarl ********
@Graham *******
I think iff no email saying receivers then can’t be in the system what a farceCarl ********
@Graham *******
you can’t even contact anyone to confirm your application has been received what a ridiculous situation just treat like a herd of cattle not knowing iff your going or not my wife will be heartbroken Graham ********
@Carl *******
I fly next Wed too. I'm sitting here on the edge of my seat. Maybe they are now too busy to give a courtesy email any more. I applied Monday 5pm. I have to go, I live there, I wish I could just stuff the whole thing. Carl ********
@Graham *******
I have applied twice Monday night about 20.30 pm then today about mid day same results said passed what can I do and I fly next Wednesday Graham ********
@Carl *******
You will have to Re apply and do it again I suppose. It took about 8 hours to get a "your application has been recieved" Carl ********
@Graham *******
iff I have not what can I doGraham ********
@Carl *******
You shod have an email saying your pass has been recieved. Ian ***********
@Carl *******
it seems change the date and you have to do a new application so clocks starts again. I don’t think airlines will allow you to check in without all the documentation as they are liable to take you back home if documents not all ok
Jeab ********
@Ian **********
Welcome to the club :-(Carl ********

@Chris ********************

@Pui ****
I first used hotmail on Monday than on Thursday changed to gmail and applied 4 times today at 630am. Received 4 QRs I leave on the 8th. 
Adrian *******
@Michael *************
So you waited around 48 hours before you got your QR codes? I've applied twice (once on Tuesday) and again on Weds (because I had higher resolution JPEGs to submit) and though I received confirmation I have heard back nothing. I'm wondering if it's worth applying multiple times? 
Jeffrey *********
@Pui ****
So many people submitted five or more applications due to website problems that it's hard to know how to interpret that statistic... :/
Steve **********
@Pui ****
and govt stats are always spot on.Ian ***********
Most people are struggling to just complete and lodge an application. Lots of bugs
