How long is your Thailand pass valid for? Mine has arrival date for Nov 6th written on the bottom but I won't be able to make it because my flight was changed last minute. Can I use it for the next few days? Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thailand Pass is generally valid for the specific date submitted in the application, but different sources indicate varying validity periods. One commenter mentioned it is only valid for the application date, while another cited a Thai consulate statement saying it remains valid for flight changes within 72 hours of the original date. Additionally, another user noted that the Pass is valid for three months, which can be confirmed by scanning the QR code. Confusion persists among users due to these differing pieces of information.

Does anybody know if they issue Thailand passes on the weekend? Or just business days?

Am still waiting for mine and I fly 9th November plus I still need to book my covid PCR test but need the pass first.

GarethA little tip for you. When you receive anything from them that is in a PDF format then convert it into a JPG format otherwise you won't be able to upload it successfully.

Just heard from a Thai friend that the majority of bar ladies in Pattaya come from Isaan and the government are waiting until 80 to 90 percent of them are double vaccinated before the Pattaya bars will open.

I heard that the governor took opportunity of the long time closure to never open sex bars again to get rid of Pattaya bad fame.

Thai Pass is valid 3 months. You can see it if you scan the QR code with your phone.

Impossible. I think validity it is a crazy mix. I think its a minimum guaratee Sheduled Travel Time which is covered by passed vaccination and insurance after immigration stamp.

On a different post, they had a statement from the Thai consulate saying that the Thai Pass stays valid for flight changes within 72 hrs of what was on the application.

Depends on what the pass says... Was it changed by OP or by the airlines?

If OP, yeah, they'll have to reapply.

If airline delayed the flight, I know the CoE references adjustment of up to x days (3, I think?) but not sure about the Thailand Pass.
