Why are some people who applied for their passes on November 1st still waiting for approval while others received theirs earlier?

Seems that those who applied for a pass on Nov 1st are still waiting when others who applied later have got theirs. I have read that failures in the system have been recognized by the Web designers. Could it be that thier attempts at repairing the system has caused the loss of many aplication. If I don't receive my pass in 72 hours I will not be able to get a PCR and consiquently lose a lot of money. I will not be Re applying but will delay untill this farce is abandoned.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Many applicants who submitted their travel passes on November 1st are experiencing delays, with some reports indicating that those who applied later have received their approvals sooner. There are discussions about potential failures in the application system and how attempts to repair it may have resulted in lost applications. Users are sharing their experiences, with some finding success by switching to different email addresses for their applications. Concerns about needing the passes for PCR tests and potential financial losses are also prevalent.

Out of interest. What are people putting as Covid certificate?

I have the little card with the QR codes on.

Will this do?

Cheers.

Unfortunately this happens in Thailand all the time. It is no comfort to you at the moment, but hopefully things get better soon.

I did a dummy run today completing and uploading TP info, not submitted.

Will do on Monday.

But I recall at the vaccination certificate section, it asks for QR code if you have one.

I don't have one with my UK certificate.

Yes, I applied, using my hotmail address, on Tuesday. I received no confirmation. After reading all the comments and advice on here I reapplied today using gmail and cropping the QR codes. I received confirmation instantly and approval 2 hours later.

With the 7hr difference from UK, I will do mine early morning hours, so it is received in Thailand during their working hours.
