Test & Go Application Process changes
the days, Thailand Pass was sent in an instant after application (if proper documents and QR codes were loaded) are over...
Now from each application, accommodation reservations are sent to the hotel for confirmation. If the hotel does not confirm within 30 hours, application is rejected!
There are already reports of several people. whose application was rejected as hotels did not react...
needless to say that this will make the application process longer and even more difficult in general
confirmation mails also seem to be inconsistent; some got one immediately after application was submitted, some after the hotel confirmed reservation and some did not get any confirmation mail at all...

over 23'000 applications for test & go during the first day, so the backlog is piling
wonder how many did multiple applications because of the system changes and bugs?

I submitted my app for everything yesterday, and my trip is on February 10th. Will I have enough time? I meet all the requirements, booked the hotel, bought the insurance and did everything I was suppose to.

I submitted 2 hours after they opened on Tuesday and also depart on 10. Should not be a problem as many have a much more tight schedule...

obviously they do not trust those documents as after submission, they send infos to the hotel and let them confirm....if they do not confirm within 24 or 30 hours (two different sources), application is rejected
