I am flying on 6th May to Thailand. When do I apply for Thai pass? I don't want to pay for SHA hotel as its not needed after 1st May but I am also worried about getting Thai pass before my flight.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the appropriate timing to apply for the Thailand Pass, specifically before their flight on May 6th. Several comments indicate that applications can be submitted starting April 29th, with approvals reportedly taking anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. Additionally, there have been recent changes in requirements effective from May 1st, which potentially ease the process.

If you have all the right documents obtaining your Thailand Pass (TP) should only take 24 hours

Apply on May 1st. Should only take a couple of days. It is normally the hotel that slows the process down

You can apply from 12.01am (Thai time) on April 29th. The new application should be working by then, we hope!

You can apply April 29th. The ability to apply for a Thailand Pass in May has been turned off so you have no choice.
