What should I do if my Thai Pass application is being rejected due to incorrect purpose of arrival?
Hello. I am am expat going to the UK for a visit this month. On theThai Pass application in the purpose for arrival I have checked "returning to Thailand".Apparently, according to the AQ hotel, the application will not receive this and continues to tejrctcmy application. They have advised me to change my purpose to "travel" and give a random date for departure.
My concern is that they will either ask to see my return ticket and or raise questions of dishonesty because I do have a visa. For my "random" date of departure I will put my visa expiration date which is in June.
Has anyone one had similar issues and if so how did this work out?

OPAs it turns out, no matter what I check for purpose of arrival I am rejected once I enter "check my booking " . The message states that my booking is invalid. The hotel has sent me the proper paperwork and are aware of my issue. They have viewed via screen shots my input and have found no mistakes. They recommend me using a service to .process.

I have reapplied numerous times. I have had others check my info. including the hotel. I can't put my insurance in because I cannot get passed "check my booking" I can put my address information in but cannot go beyond that page. I am doing the 5 day alternative quarantine so I do not need to upload a vaccination certificate. My hotel was book through agoda.

not yet. Maybe will stay for long 😀Naomi **********
OPI already have a retirement visa. The application wants a departure date but if you click "returning to Thailand" for your purpose of arrival it does not provide a box for a departure date. I can only go as far as entering my arrival day and a get an error message.

I checked "other" assuming return to Thailand was for Thais. I haven't been approved yet, but it accepted my submittal.

The old COE process had that but this one did not. We'll see how it goes :)

OP@Chris ********
great, thank you. At any point in the application did it ask for your visa? It seems that should be an obvious question.Naomi **********
