@Colin ********
. I have a ticket booked for March 23rd.

You can book VTL through MySafeTravel as of today.

Here’s what I encountered:

Like the thai pass, you need to have flight booked and insurance bought (I paid 15$ through the platform for a 3 day trip) before working your way through the forms. Hotel booking is not required.

Issues:

1) I was vaccinated in USA and I do not have a QR code for my vaccine. This stops you dead in the water. I have emails and tweets out to MST and I’m hoping there is some resolution for me, as the VTL is advertised for ALL nationalities.

2) you need to register with the MySejahtera app—but when selecting your permanent residence there is a drop down menu for “state”. In that drop down only Malaysian states are listed.

After having maybe 10k sunk into this thing (rt flight, insurance on both sides, hotels on both sides—including sha plus on the thai side) I would strong not recommend the VTL. Go for Cambodia or wait until April 1st.

Thanks
@Michael *******
. I haven't been on the portal. Is that the MySejahtera app?

Do they offer short term insurance? Otherwise I will need to find some insurance that covers both Thailand and Malaysia for my return on the 23rd.

.

The volunteer visa was issued in another Provence. Could it be canceled in BKK? Could covid be issued in BKK?
