TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discussion highlights the ongoing struggles and experiences of individuals applying for the Thailand Pass as they prepare for travel amidst COVID-19 restrictions. Many users express frustration over delays, technical issues in the application process, and uncertainty regarding their travel plans. Despite some reports of prompt approvals, the general sentiment reflects anxiety due to conflicting information, especially on email confirmations and application statuses.

Just received mine yesterday and my wife today, we had no problems with the Thailand pass system. Just having to load everything in JPG was the only hassle I encountered. Good luck to every body.

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.

 Almost no country wrote the passport number in the vaccine certificate because

1. You get vaccinated to avoid catching a disease, not to travel

 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?
