ORIGINAL POSTER1. ThailandPass opens on November 1st.
1. You need to allow at least 7 days prior to travel.
1. If you already have a flight booked up to Nov 7th, either change it or rush to get a COE.
"Thailand Pass will open for registration on 1 November 2021 at 09.00 hrs. We recommended you to register for Thailand new electronic entry document (Thailand Pass QR code) at least 7 days prior to your travel date. For travellers who have been granted COE (Certificate of Entry) and will arrive in Thailand from 1 November 2021 onwards, the COE is valid for entering Thailand. The travellers can update COE format which will mention the revised condition of stay complying with new entry regulations by downloading the new COE at this registration website (coethailand.mfa.go.th) or the link from your COE approval notification email."

TLDR : Answer Summary
Thailand Pass will start accepting registrations on November 1, 2021. It is recommended to apply for it at least 7 days before your travel date. If you have a flight landing in Thailand on November 8, it is advised to apply for a Certificate of Entry (COE) before October 31. After November 9, travelers must use Thailand Pass instead of the COE.

do not wait for that pass it takes 7 days to process about double the COENikk ******
Did anyone here apply only for their visa as an E-visa on the thaievisa website? And if so, how do you answer the question with supporting documents " Confirmation of legal residence in a country in which you are applying for the visa. (In case that you are not a national of the country in which you are applying for the visa." i don't understand this question because anyone applying for a visa is obviously not a legal resident...so how do you prove you are one with documents?

where did you find a asq hotel offering pcr test and only one night stay in bkk if I may ask? I’m looking for a place offering that - that is not priced through the roofZen ******
@Nikki *****
i directly contacted the hotels that i’m interested in, and asked if they are an AQ or SHA hotel, if they have any one day package based on the new rules. The hotels got back to me with the prices of their packages. But the link provided by Kevin above maybe more useful.Kevin ***********

my flight is on the 10th of November had Coe approved then rejected to me cutting it fine booked flight paid for visa quarantine hotel booked and paid it’s a jokeKevin ***********
ORIGINAL POSTER@Carl *******
Why did they reject it? You'll be fine if you do ThailandPass on 1st Nov, but not if your paperwork has an error.Carl ********
@Kevin **********
because my flight was on the 10th November think that was the only reason Kevin ***********
ORIGINAL POSTER@Carl *******
OK they seem to be telling everyone with an arrival date of 8th onwards to do ThailandPass when it opens.Reply to

I arrive on the same day as you, the hotel told me to apply on the COE platform, I assume we can do both if the COE is delayed.

So planning to fly in January can I apply already from Nov 02?or I'm not allowed by system cause too much early?
Kevin ***********
ORIGINAL POSTER@Stefano *******
