Hi everyone.

This is the 8th day since I applied Thailand Pass, still "being reviewed"

Should I make a second attempt?

Can you think of any possible mistakes I made?

Any tip is appreciated.

Thanks!!

I love Thailand 🇹🇭., the People., way of life., my Wife and Kids…… But It’s time to join the rest of the free world and make it possible for people to come home - Many Tourists have gone forever - Time to let families re unite - 😥😥😥

I was knocked back because skew codes on vaccines were not clear enough ….. but only took one day to resolve - Don’t make a second attempt as they will get all confused 😐

I have got one! Thank you all for your help❤

Apparently, "cropping QR code" of vaccine card worked...

We used this e-mail and contact form on the qr code and got our thai pass back within an hour (after waiting 9 working days). Hope this helps 😊

did you submit QR codes for your vaccine certification ?

, QR code where can I find that? I’m in the USA and we are not familiar with that

sorry to hear, but its nothing new that your country isn’t geared to cater to other ideas than their own, unfortunately now it doesn’t work so well for the US of A to take a position of their way or the highway.

In my case the QR codes made the difference between an unprocessed application for 7 days and one that gave me a confirmation result in just 3 minutes… asia has been using QR codes for over a decade now, and its being used with great success for a wide variety of processes. In some places you cant even pass through without a QR code reader, for a period the Airport Authorities of Thailand even required a scanning a QR code at checkpoint to pass through to security and the Thailand Pass itself IS a QR code… so, I recommend getting familiar with it if you want to spend time in Asia 👍

you don’t need a QR code for the vaccine if you’re in USA. I just sent photo of my vaccine cards.

its not about needing, its about making it easy for them to process to reduce processing time, prevent processing fatigue and annoyance leading to them pushing your application to the bottom, etc… but you can keep insisting you dont need it, in the meantime we get buried in people from other countries that arent so arrogant, anyways, frankly its nice there arent so many people from the USA, so keep it up 👍

Yes I did. Someone mentioned that better to crop QR code, so I did it.

We did QR codes too. We’re on 7th day. Like you wondering if we did anything wrong but don’t think so. Seems quite a few people waiting.I think wait another few days if you’re not flying very soon. Good luck
