The trick to get your Thailand Pass in no time?

Crop the vaccine QR code just leaving the square and nothing else before uploading.

Pass received 3 minutes after submit, sent by a robot I guess. 😁🥰🙏

I would have thought my Thai gf would have had her pass immediately. Surely they can't refuse her so what is the wait for. If they refuse I shall contact the uk home office and apply for asylum as a rejected Thai national.

I applied first with a hotmail email and heard nothing just the green success tick. So I applied again with a Gmail and instantly received a confirmation email. Now just waiting for the QR pass.

I did the same and this trick didn't work for me. Now, I was snapping a photo of a printed paper of the QR code instead of a screenshot of the QR code. But I am sure if this was crucial Thai Immigration would have told us this.

It's the not knowing that is the major issue. People getting stressed as flight dates approach. You don't know if your application has disappeared into an abyss or is just waiting to be processed. At least with the COE you could look up the application progress.

I cropped the QR code (off my Australian vax certificate) and uploaded it, but I still didn't get approved.

Been over 24 hours wait so far.

Me and my friends did in exactly the same way, if the Qr-code is in good quality and “cut in the right way”, you will pass in a few minutes by a robot.

I applied in Monday, again this evening, no success. One hour after my last attempt I tried this way and hop! Pass in the box. Same for my friend.

Maybe there is something else in your file that the robot decided a human should check.

my understanding is that if nothing looks strange, the robot send the pass. If the robot is not sure, it will pass the file to a human for further check.
