Hey guys,

Off to Thailand this Friday, flying from Australia. Should I be applying for my Thai Pass now? Was thinking of doing it tonight. I saw that it will take no longer than 48hrs now but I wasn’t sure it there was an expiry or recommendation to get it before flying

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is traveling to Thailand from Australia and is inquiring whether they should apply for the Thai Pass before their flight. The responses emphasize the importance of applying immediately, noting that the Thai Pass is valid for seven days around the indicated flight date. Several commenters suggest applying as soon as possible to avoid any potential issues. The poster later confirms their application was approved within two hours.

Thanks again guys, FYI it’s been approved already. End to end from when I started filling out the application and getting approved online, it took 2hrs. I know this won’t matter soon as it will be removed but for anyone coming still before 1st of June

yes. Everyone needs a ThailandPass. You add them to one of the parents applications.

Apply now, just in case there’s any hiccup. It’s valid for +/-7 days from the flight you indicate.
