i hope... but i had to take a picture of the screen in order to convert pdf in jpeg (i'm not a genius of computers and this is really a stupid thing, as pdf are ALWAYS the best format files!!!), i have no passport number on the covid certificate (in switzerland it's not mentioned!!!) and my e-mail is hotmail, so i had to do it again coz microsoft accounts are not supported (means i wasted 2 days and there are rumors that double applications are rejected).... i'm really worried...

Just for the future, you can convert your pdf to a jpeg by choosing "export" (this is in Adobe, but others should have the option), and there will be an option for jpeg..super easy. Good luck! :-)

Has anyone got any help from any of these numbers? It’s all in Thai language no matter what number you press. It keeps going round in circles.

If you go to thai tiger on you tube there is a video with Tim Newton explaining the malfunctioning of the site and how to put things right. Also, be prepared to change the PDF file into a JPG file otherwise you cannot upload it back to the site.

Did your hotel booking with Agoda l include the RT-PCR test fee? My application has just been rejected due to my hotel booking...through consular.go.th....There was no mention of the PCR test on the booking.

I had a friend make headway contacting @thaiconsular on line app, the person took her info and told her he forwarded it to the officers processing TP and a few hours later she recieved the QR code.

If your back is against the wall be polite and relentless you'll get it on time imo

What type of QR code is it? Who issue it, airline or Consular? Or is this the Covid Test result? My Covid Test result doesn't have QR code on it.

It's issued by the MFA, it's got NOTHING to do with a Covid test result!

The screenshot I saw has the numbers at the end transposed to what is shown here, so if people are saying the number isn't working I'm assuming whoever made the post the op poster put down the wrong number

I called this number and it’s all in Thai even after I press 9 for English. So how do we find out what’s going on or how we get this Thai pass thing? Does anyone on here know?
