TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about not receiving their Thailand Pass before their trip on December 3rd. Several commenters advised that without the Thailand Pass, the user won't be allowed to board their flight. They suggested ensuring the correct document uploads (JPEG format) and contacting the hotel or local embassy for help. One commenter shared their successful experience receiving the pass quickly after ensuring clear document uploads. However, the user later noted their flight was canceled and raised a concern about a change in their arrival date and its potential impact on their Thailand Pass.

I am travelling next 26th Dec and getting my second vaccine on 9th Dec; if I get the green pass right after this day, is it enough time to receive the Thai pass?

I've seen many comments here regarding this topic, wondering how much time I need... 😳

I got mine in 5 mins but I took the time to make sure all uploads were clear, cropped and readable, also scanned.... Think this may be the key as it's clearly automated but then manual if documents unreadable

If it doesn't come through what happens is you will join hundreds if not thousands of others who lost time and money but gained many gray hairs due to Thailand incompetence.

Think this is why mine is taking longer. I'm guessing the way you did yours was successful?

So just to be clear, you enlarged both QR codes and screenshot them?

If it doesn't come through, you're not going to Thailand. You must have a Thailand Pass to board your flight or enter the country.
