What do I need to know about the Thailand Pass process for traveling from the U.S.?

Traveling back to Thailand requires applying for the Thailand Pass, which involves submitting several documents, including proof of COVID-19 vaccination, health insurance covering COVID, flight and hotel information, and a passport screenshot. You can upload these documents at the Thailand Pass website. Though many express concerns about the difficulty of obtaining the pass, recent responses indicate that the application process can be completed quickly, often taking only minutes with approvals within hours. Remember that the required documents must be uploaded in JPG format, not PDF. You may start applying as soon as you have your travel plans, and the pass is expected to generate a QR code upon approval.
