Just got our Thai passes after a 4 or 5 day wait. Myself, thai wife and our 6 y/o daughter. Depart Australia just after Christmas for a 30 day stay. Ticked all the boxes, my wife and I double vaccinated, return flights with Thai Airways, COVID insurance with AXA for me and my daughter, AQ hotel booked for one night on arrival. The silly bit is having to convert pdf to jpg files for all documents, but pdf2jpg website got it done.

My understanding is that any COE applied for before the Thailand pass came into effect on 1st November will be fine for entryNishant ********
@David ******
thats good.. I got COE certificate on 5th Nov for 13th November flight. Can I enter thailand with COE on 13th ? Any idea abt that?

I just took screenshots with the info on - I'm assuming they'll be denied and I'll have to re-do it. 😬
David *******
@Daniel *********
I'm interested in the result here - let me know how you do. Hope it comes through for you!Daniel **********
@David ******
Accepted with QR code sent. Then followed up with email 10 minutes later stating it had been rejected. 🤣Daniel **********
@David ******
I fully expect it to be denied. I kinda rushed it in the heat of the movement without thinking (and being a tad lazy). Will update once they come back to me.

@David ******
did you purchase separate travel insurance on top of the axa covid one? David *******
@Debbie *******
No, the insurance covers medical emergencies other than COVID as well, so that's enough for me.Mac ******
@David ******

Now the thai government saying there's alot of scammers on the thai pass website this is why some people not getting a response or qr code. You carnt make this sh#t up .unbelievable.

OP@Clive *******
it's not that it's processed on flight departure datesClive ********
Martin ********
One can always rely on governments to take a seemingly simple process and make it complicated and difficult.
Danny *******
Maybe people are applying more than once because they have paid for everything and are worried because soon they are due to fly out. No one wants to be denied because of a minor mistake on their application and then loose all the money they have spent paying for their trip.

OP@Danny ******
a mate on this web site had his rejected when he uploaded his insurance cert it didn't specify the correct amount of covid insurance on 1st page he then went back into the system and uploaded the 2nd page stating the amount 30 minutes later he got his pass
Paul ********
@Danny ******
one guy has applied 7 times what a retard so if you think 20,000 people are applying and they do 5 each that’s a hundred thousand
Gordon *******
Totally agree, a lot of us are waiting and waiting etc
Frustrating when some people have applied and have got QR code within a few hours. Also everyone has got their flights and hotels prepaid. If we had to cancel its going to be a nightmare.

@Gordon ******
there are some idiots out there messing up an already bad system with its own floors
Luciano ***********
Apply once and use a gmail emsil address and give it time. At present it is processing a very high demand. Be patient and apply once and wsit
Gertjan ********
You are not the only one .
Kenji **********
@Gertjan *******
definitely not the only one, total joke!Dave *******
If people only applied once it’s fine, some idiots think by applying 5-10 times they will get the pass quicker, all they are doing is blocking the system up, on a good note most people, as long as the paperwork is correct, are getting the pass within 7 days as they are working around the clock, weekends included to sort the backlog out, also people who put in multiple entries are soon to have their application rejected and have to reapply, be warned!

@Dave ******
just an update on my previous (very unpolite) message… sorry man, im really worried about this and i don’t really wanna get my trip denied coz i’d get in serious troubles… big, big, huge frustration about it…
Ron ******************
@Francesco *********
just delete your previous unpolite message.Francesco **********
@Ron *****************
im not unfair to do so. that’s the reason of my apologies instead 😉Francesco **********
@Dave ******
r u kidding me?????? if i knew BEFORE that hotmail accounts weren’t working i wouldn’t have applied twice!!!! Who is the idiot??????? shut ut mouth up if u don’t know the reasons!!!!!! 
Jeremy ********
@Dave ******
if they stated out with a list of approved email Accts then that would have streamlined the process 
Stenbjorn *********
@Jeremy *******
and if the site ccontained a function that told if you did it correctly or not. And gave an option to correct it. Now it is a black hole. Stenbjorn *********
@Jeremy *******
amazingly bad compared to the electronic visum system. That site deals with more complex papers but is clearly a functional site. Strange they mishandled the Thai Pass, which will be the key system, so badly.Jeremy ********
@Stenbjorn ********
so many glitches 
Mark ******
Despite the other issues, eliminating multiple logins could be corrected by having a registration system. One login account per individual.

@Dave ******
how come thai TP site can't block multiple entrees or sort applications by date/time submitted? Not a rocket science Dave *******
@James **********
I don’t know, I’m just passing on what I was told, apparently the amount of people who are applying multiple times is slowing the system down, which makes sense 
Frédéric ******************
@Dave ******
I applied 3 times. On the third one I got the pass within 4 minutes. Am I an idiot?Dave *******
@Frédéric ****************
not at all, if it worked for you, great 👍 James ***********
Nick *******
@Dave ******
& where hav u got this info from? Dave *******
@Nick ******
my friends Thai wife works at the place where they process the applications, they are working 24hrs a day to deal with the backlog, apparently the amount of people applying multiple times is hindering the process massively Activity
