I can second this place. Used it for my PCR to enter Korea and it was smooth and easy. Results sent to my email at the exact time they promised.

I applied for my Thailand Pass late in the day on 31st May, but 1st June in Thailand.

QR code came back in less than 30-seconds and is a +/- 7 day entry window.

To the extent it may matter, my proof of vaccination is a QR code and I have previously obtained a Thailand Pass.

that's interesting, while others only got a +3 days entry window...
do you have an Elite Visum?
for myself it matters as I will probably my return to Thailand bring forward by 1-2 days on short notice due to the current chaos of air traffic in Europe (delays, cancellations etc.etc.)
and no I have no Elite Visum, but had so far 2 Thailand Pass, 2 COE last year and also QR codes for vaccination...

Yes it is interesting, but since the approval time now seems to be 30 minutes probably best to just apply for a new tp.

I just submitted my Thailand Pass request this morning, and it came through in 32 minutes, but as others report with validity for three days .

The Thailand Pass states it was issued on 31st May so perhaps that is why I received the ±7 day period.

No, I don't have a Thailand Elite visa.

I was wondering one thing when filling out the application today, actually - do you guys detail all vaccinations or just the latest (which is the default question with the option to add more) ? - I decided to test it a bit and just specify the latest vaccine date and upload the certificate, not all three dates. Worked like a charm.

Also, this was once again done with digital SSO card as proof of insurance, and not an insurance policy - all very straight forward, and took me less than five mins to complete.

Before, in February I entered all vaccination documents with QR codes and purchased AXA insurance for my trip.
Now in June I put just the last vaccination QR and went with my regular travel insurance.

Latest news say they might be dropping the Thai Pass altogether and also removing face mask mandate in Bangkok at least.

If you scan the QR Code now you may find your record has been updated and now shows +3 days only. Mine does but was originally issued with +/- 7.

Yup. You are correct.

My Thailand Pass application was approved today in about an hour. Insurance document was "regular" travel insurance through Allianz, does not specifically mention "COVID".

Applying with a Child (Age 13)

Is it better to have a child as a dependent on a parent’s THAIPASS or to apply for a separate THAIPASS for them. If they are on the parent’s THAIPASS, is it only required to purchase insurance for the adult ? Thank you for your help !

I should clarify further....the policy itself covers COVID. The one page "executive summary" that I sent to ThailandPass did not mention COVID specifically, just name, policy number, effective dates, and coverage amounts.

For travel insurance, has any credit card coverage worked? Or would it be best not to risk that and use one of their providers so as to not be denied entry?
