What happens if you have 3 QR codes for the vaccine? 1 being a booster. Should I put the last 2 ? Second vaccine and booster?

I applied for it yesterday online and got it approved in 4 hours. Just make sure you spend the time getting all the documents uploaded in a readable format. Upload the qr codes separately for the vaccine proof where asked(its optional but do it), cropping the qr codes and make.sure not blurred etc. It took about an hour of faffing around with the images but in my opinion worth it in the end as very surprisingly it was approved in 4 hours from submission

@Jim *******
when you say crop the QR code, is this the one provided on the paper after vax or through the Thai digital app, under vaccine certificate?Jim ********
@Steven ***************
the ones for dose 1 and 2 of vaccine on the NHS spp for proof of your vaccination status. Dont worry about any booster, they just want the QR codes of the first 2. Crop just the qr and upload each in the optional section. You need to make sure it's not blurred. I found it best to take a photo of it with my phone and crop so there is a small gap around the edges. Then emailed the photos to myself, and then dragged the photos to the bit on the screen. It should then tick away in the background and either accept each one or tell you it's invalid. I had 3 attempts on this and finally got them accepted.Steven ****************

OP@Jim *******
some are auto generated and some are done manually. I did mine when it 1st came out and took 4 days. But stressful when you do it because you have no idea if it’s right

@Disha **********
Trunk is an agent who will smooth your ThailandPass for you. Many people prefer to use their service as they can get quick results when time is short.Disha ***********

thanks alot feel relax now 😌😌

For some people having an agent do it for them is more convenient. Personally, I think it's a waste of money, but doesn't mean its a scam

@Martin *******
I think the issue is that there are agents who charge a reasonable fee for their services, but there are also some right fucking bandits.

One indivdual who is also insurance agent and a travel company both based in thailand seem very genuine both have good reputation,but as you say plenty of sharks preying on people
Ian *********

OP@Ian ********
yep there are sharks out there but these sites look original but you do all the work you would do on the original and get charged. Many people think you have to pay and most of these sites are not based in ThailandIan *********
Agree BUT if someone is totally useless on a computer (people like me ) and need help and have to turn to someone for help
The agents ! Who charge excessive fees yes ,there are a couple of genuine people who will do it for a small fee
Im not going to name them here because of the theme of pauls post, but message me direct and i will let you know
