TLDR : Answer Summary

Many users have reported encountering the 'Invalid Thailand Pass Information' error when trying to use the Morchana App upon arrival in Thailand. It appears that the app primarily functions when users are physically in Thailand, as several individuals mentioned successful experiences only after entering the country. Reinstalling the app or editing information often does not resolve the issue. Despite its presence, it seems that upon entering locations, the app information is rarely checked, leading some users to wonder about its overall necessity.

Got the same error I Thailand. Quarantinehotelstaff was not able to help… I tried reinstalling, I tried editing with the same result: invalid information (the info is correct by the way)

So I ended up never installing it again and had no problems so far (I am in Thailand since six weeks) 🤷🏼

as far as I experienced not. Even when I was in hospital for my second pcr Test they did not ask. Also for train ticket or house booking nobody asked.

I just always have my Thai pass code and my test results with me in case I got checked.

Got the same error in Germany. You need to do it in Thailand. Did it here in Thailand it worked at first try. In Germany I tried many times but always got the error. You can do it when you are here. Nobody at Suvarnabhumi cared for the Morchana App.
