What are the latest experiences and requirements for completing the Thai Pass since the new rules on May 1st?
I need advice from anyone who has successfully completed the Thai pass from when the new rules came into affect on
May 1st especially if they submitted a 72 pre departure PCR test.
1) How long did the pass take to be successfully authorised from when you submitted the information.
2) Has anyone used the insurance company below and got the certificate straight away and pay with a foreign debit card. I have insurance in Thailand that was OK for my Non O visa but am being told I can't use it for the pass. I just need the cheapest available as I won't be using it. I don't want to chance using my Thai insurance in case it's refused as I am limited on the time I can submit it due to the PCR test.
3) Does the duration of the insurance have to cover the full 90 day duration of the Visa.
Thank you.

People that are vaccinated can travel into Thailand with insurance and a pass and don't need to do PCR test is this correct?

Fyi - this policy is covid only coverage, doesn't cover anything else, so can't compare to Sawasdee or Tune.

I applied two weeks ago. Got approved overnight.
TP site actually has links for insurance. It needs to cover the length of your stay. You should have the start date a few days before traveling in case you need to go earlier.
Yes you can pay with your country’s credit card. You will need to upload the cover page with the amount of the insurance and the dates covered.
