What should I do if I'm having issues with my Thailand Pass application?

Hello everyone, I have been having serious problems with Thailand Pass and I don’t know what to do.

My Thai wife and I both submitted our Thailand Pass 10 days ago. My wife got her QR code in five minutes. Ten days later, I do not have mine. I got my confirmation email immediately, though. When I looked up the status of my application, it said “Wait 3-7 days,” which is fine. However, three days later, my application was instead returning a red “The information is not registered” error. At that point, I went and applied again. Three days later, the same problem. I have also tried the following:

-Tried from a different Gmail address

-Tried just before 8:00am

-Tried putting a space before/after my passport number

At that point, I had my wife Line the Thai Consular department, but they were useless (“make sure you’ve entered your information correctly,” followed by ignoring all messages). After that, she called the Thai Consular Department. The first person said, “We can still see your information, though. Call us if it isn’t fixed by tonight.” It wasn’t fixed. She called the next day and they were pretty rude to her, stating, “Your flight is in December. Why are you calling us now? Call back in a couple of weeks.”

So now I don’t know what to do. I’ve already paid for my round trip flight and my SHA++ hotel. I don’t feel comfortable booking the rest of my flights, hotels, and etc., because I don’t even know if it will be possible to go to Thailand.

What advice do you have?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is facing significant difficulties with their Thailand Pass application, having submitted it 10 days ago without receiving a QR code, unlike their wife who got hers immediately. They are experiencing repeated errors when checking their application status and have tried various troubleshooting methods without success. Despite contacting the Thai Consular Department, they received little assistance and are now concerned about their upcoming travel plans. Multiple commenters offer advice, including checking for spaces in the application, contacting support directly, and even hiring an external company to expedite the process.

Resolution:

In the end, after weeks of dealing with the government, I received a rejection: Vaccine card not in English. I got this even though the card was both in Khmer AND English, and the QR code only returns English results, and my wife got accepted immediately with the same type of card.

I decided to give up and hire a company to do my Thailand Pass.

Got my Thailand Pass in 5 hours. Job done.

It's looking like Prayut doesn't want a lockdown.

I agree. With Thailand trying to bring back tourism, and huge numbers of people having bought tickets, ASQ hotels, insurance, etc., if Thailand just throws everyone's money and plans away, people will feel like they can't trust Thailand enough to schedule vacation plans there.

They have many help lines for Thailand pass. Call them directly. Don’t waste your time with the embassy.

The passport number needs to be 12 ...so add spaces at the end of the number to make it 12.

A few items we experienced. 1. Make sure there aren't spaces after any of the entries when checking your status. For example, if you copy and paste your registration number, sometimes it has an extra space at the end. If it does, it will say the info is unregistered. Happened to me several times and I was surprised that something so simple would result in an error. Deleted the space and it worked. 2. It took a week for us to get our approval. I emailed the support team email when we hit 7 days and immediately received the pass (whether that was coincidence or not, I'm not sure. Be sure to include your full name, passport number, and date of arrival in your email to

(this is the address they recommend connecting with). 3. I suspect it took longer for us since we live in the US and don't have a QR code for our vaccination card. I think that slows the process. I see a lot of quick approvals, but those are from places that have QR vax codes. I hope this helps.
