Dont remember who recommend the tip to crop only the QR code part to submit but thank you so much, that's a god sent advice!! 

I literally got accepted right away. The pass was sent to my email in the same minute with the registration receipt email lol!!

Highly recommend this tip!!! Especially for anyone who got two doses from two different locations. (got my first in Thailand and second in UK.)

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user shared that cropping only the QR code portion of their vaccination certificate significantly expedited their approval process for the Thailand Pass, receiving their pass almost immediately after submission. Other users discussed various aspects of the submission process, such as the sources of their QR codes, potential issues with the UK NHS app, and tips to ensure successful document uploads. A consensus emerged about the importance of providing all necessary documents and avoiding leaving any fields blank when submitting vaccine details.

My vax certificate has both jabs with only 1 QR code. I cropped the QR to make two files. The cetificate plus the QR code itself and I uploaded the same two files for vax sections 1 and 2. Got approval in 4 days.

I agree. Passport and QRC Covid must be cropped a certain way. Had my Thai Pass in 3 hours. Really like the new form

If you have one QR code and one card for both doses, upload both of them in both places - the system seems to want to see something in the box for each dose.

I wish I could do that with the UK NHS app QR codes and have the confidence they could be read by Thailand Pass. When I scan them they just say 'no usable data found'. Probably why I've heard nothing from Thailand pass since applying a couple of days ago.

The NHS app team have confirmed <<<<<The 2D barcode within the new COVID Pass is not like your conventional 2D barcodes that when scanned, pull up a page or a file. It is specifically designed to be scanned by unique devices that are, or will be, operational in places like airports. They are in machine readable form for this specific reason.

Rest assured that if the vaccination details around the 2D barcode are as they should then the 2D barcode is too>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>So this would explain why we see the 'no usable data' message on our phones

probably because it is only valid for 30 days from the NHS app you need to download the government one I have sent to your home from the website

If the system can scan the QR code they are doing automated approvals. If it works you get a response with Thailand Pass within a few minutes.

yes they are doing automated, backlog comes from incorrect submissions or vaccination certs with no QR code that needs to be checked manually

Sounds good but I don’t understand where everyone is getting these QR codes from and where you’re uploading them on TP. I’d love to hear more. Are you getting the QR code from the Thailand vaccine app where you uploaded your vax card info? Or from another app? Thanks for any details!

not instead. There is a field for uploading the wax card/certificate and another field to upload the cropped QR code.

Upload both. As mentioned above, TP is currently only able to read codes from the EU and Singapore, but they are allegedly working on including more countries.
