TLDR : Answer Summary
Many users express frustration with the Thai Pass application process, citing delays and complications. Multiple applications often lead to rejections and a backlog, while a few users report receiving their passes quickly. It's emphasized that applicants should only apply once and ensure all paperwork is correct. Some users share personal experiences, noting that processing times can vary based on flight dates and application completeness.

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 entry

 Accepted with QR code sent. Then followed up with email 10 minutes later stating it had been rejected. 🤣

 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.

 No, the insurance covers medical emergencies other than COVID as well, so that's enough for me.

One can always rely on governments to take a seemingly simple process and make it complicated and difficult.

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.

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.

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!

 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.

Despite the other issues, eliminating multiple logins could be corrected by having a registration system. One login account per individual.
