Thailand Pass Phuket Sandbox Visa Re-entry Covid Insurance Travel Restrictions Vaccination SHA Accommodation

Hi all, 

I'm looking to re-enter Thailand through the Phuket Sandbox. Fully vacc'd and all. I have a valid active visa with a reentry stamp. I have Covid insurance and all that. 

My question is: 

If I book a flight that arrives directly in Phuket on January 6th, would that be enough time to get the Thailand Pass approved (assuming I apply right now)? I want to book everything now, but I am hesitant to book an SHA hotel and flight if there is a delay in getting the pass approved in time. What do you guys think? Appreciate any guidance. Thanks everyone.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the approval time for a Thailand Pass application needed for re-entry into Thailand via the Phuket Sandbox, considering their scheduled arrival on January 6th. The community suggests applying for the pass immediately, noting that the approval can take from a few hours to up to 7 days, and there are concerns about potential delays due to increased Covid cases following New Year festivities.

If you have the QR codes then it could be automatically issued within a few hours or could take up to 7 days , if get it done asap

They said current restrictions will be reviewed on 4th January. Could be better or could be worse, personally i would apply now, expect a surge of cases after new year festivities
