How long does it normally take for Thailand pass approval? I applied for test and go prior to them closing that option and still no approval after 4 days. I even wrote to the support email but no reply. Should I reapply for AQ as my flight leaves on Jan. 5th?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thailand Pass approval process can vary in duration, with reported times ranging from a few hours to 11 days. While the official website suggests a timeframe of 10 days, applicants have experienced delays beyond the four-day mark, prompting concerns. If you have not received approval yet, some users recommend not stressing if you have submitted all required paperwork. It's advisable to check hotel options for Alternative Quarantine (AQ) just in case, especially if your flight is imminent. In one case, a user's application was rejected due to a mismatch in the arrival date and hotel check-in date, highlighting the importance of ensuring all details align accurately.

Found out I was rejected today as arrival date didn't match hotel check in date. I arrive 8 Jan at 0005 and booked hotel for 7 Jan. Oh well, guess its AQ time ๐Ÿ˜‚

In their email rejection they point me to reapply which is impossible. I've sent them an email for reconsideration. More to follow.

Took mine 6 days. I've heard it's not good to hassle them or reapply or you'll get cancelled.

My mate applied on the 15th and got it yesterday.

I would imagine there was a big rush of applicants on the 21st

The website says 10 days so why are you complaining after 4?

Iโ€™d wait a bit longer in the meantime check out some hotels just in case
