ORIGINAL POSTERIv give up what a farse this pass is
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.

I just took screenshots with the info on - I'm assuming they'll be denied and I'll have to re-do it. š¬

@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. š¤£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.Reply to

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.

ORIGINAL POSTER@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 passPaul ********
@Danny ******
one guy has applied 7 times what a retard so if you think 20,000 people are applying and they do 5 each thatās a hundred thousandGordon *******
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 itās 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!

r u kidding me?????? if i knew BEFORE that hotmail accounts werenāt working i wouldnāt have applied twice!!!! Who is the idiot??????? shut ut mouth up if u donāt 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. Jeremy ********
@Stenbjorn ********
so many glitches 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.Reply to

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

how come thai TP site can't block multiple entrees or sort applications by date/time submitted? Not a rocket science Dave *******
@James **********
I donāt know, Iām 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 Reply to
