15. I have 2 questions. Hope you can help.

    (1) We will arive in Thailand on the 17th of Juli. As unvaccinated travelers we will need to provide a negative PCR test result. We have scheduled the tests 2 days before departure, with the results coming in 24 hours later. When is the best time to register for the Thailand Pass? Should we complete the process now and upload the test results shortly before departure by editing our request?

    (2) We are bringing with us a 2 year old and a 5 year old kid. Is there anything extra to take into account regarding their application?

    Reply

    1. Hi JD,

       The Pass will take 24 to 48 hours, but on July there maybe some changes if Thailand Pass is still required. Just incase, your child must be put under your name, there’s a button for additional.

I have had three doses of Sinovac already, but the last one (most recent one) was November 4, 2021.

72. Hi Rex,

    I submitted my dad’s thailand pass application on 10th March and was given his personal key code via email. I tried to check the application status today(17th March) with the code but system stated “no account registered”. I had no issues checking a few days ago. How do I resolve this issue? Should I resubmit my application? The flight to Bangkok is nearing I hope this delay would not affect my dad’s trip to BKK.

    Thank you.

    1. Dear Kai Jun,

       Good day.
       You can try checking the status using a different web browser or a different computer. You can also call the hotel and ask them if they already approved the Thai Pass.
       Thank you.

73. Dear Rex,
    Can you advise please. My wife’s passport shows her maiden name but her vaccination certificate is in her married name. Presumably this discrepancy would be resolved by evidence of the marriage certificate. I assume this situation is not uncommon but your confirmation would be appreciated. Thank you

    Reply

    1. Dear Tim,

       You can upload the proof of change of name or marriage document in the ‘Additional Documents’ section of the Thailand Pass application. This section is normally after the “COVID insurance’ section.
       Thank you.

75. A client has had their Thai Pass rejected as the receipt for the SHA+ hotel was booked via Expedia not directly with the hotel. How can we apply for Thai Pass with an Expedia booking/receipt confirming the booking and payment has been made to an online travel agent not directly with the property.

    Reply

    1. Dear AJ,

       Good day.
       The Hotel has the power to approve your Thailand Pass. If you do not pay to the hotel directly, they will not approve it. if they do not honor your Expedia booking, you have no choice but to pay the hotel and ask for refund from Expedia. The only website that is acceptable for Thailand Pass application is Agoda. But the package that you need to purchase must be Test and Go package.
       Thank you.

76. Hi Rex – I am travelling from New Zealand but transiting through 2 countries namely Melbourne and Singapore. Singapore being the last stop for 1 hour. Will this be a problem when I land in Phuket under Test & Go programme? I appreciate your response. Thank you. Krissy

       It is not a problem as long as the whole itinerary is booked in the same flight booking or ticket. To learn more about the Test and Go program, please visit: https://www.thaiembassy.com/travel-to-thailand/test-and-go-thailand

    My Thai Pass is approved and two nights at the hotel booked. I would like to change my flight ticket and fly 2 days earlier. Hotel can change my reservations , no problems. So my check in time changes, but stays withing allowed 72 hours window. Do I need to apply for a new pass?

80. Thailand pass: If I had Covid in July and was vaccinated 2 months later in September is that considered fully vaccinated?

    Reply

    1. Dear Gretha,

       Yes, you will be considered as fully vaccinated. When you apply for the Thailand Pass, you need to upload the copy of medical certificate as proof of recovery and secondly the proof of vaccination.
       Thank you.

81. I can’t find the answer anywhere!
    I have a return flight to bkk. Originally I was going to apply for test and go as fully vaccinated. I cannot change my flight so what do I need to do? If there are no Thailand passes being issued and I am not eligible for a sandbox pass, I feel stuck. Any ideas?
    Thank you

    1. Dear Marisa,

       Since your flight arrives in Bangkok, you only have one option. That option is Thailand Pass- Quarantine Program. You need to stay for 7 nights in quarantine hotel before you are allowed to travel around Thailand. if you would like to apply for Thailand Pass- Sandbox program, your flight must arrive directly to Phuket without Bangkok transit.
       Thank you.

    2. Hello, what happens if you have recently recovered from Covid-19 but you are testing positive ?

    3. Dear Joel,

       Anyone who tests positive, regardless of whether they have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days, are required to quarantine at their own expense for 10-14 days or possibly longer depending on their situation and under the direction of public health officials.

       If you already have a Thailand Pass, you only have to worry about your COVID test that will be required by the airline. if you tested positive, they might refuse or not let you board the flight.

       The Thailand Pass Test and Go that you have will remain valid unless the government will announce that it will not be accepted or honored anymore. We have to wait for an announcement tomorrow January 7th.

86. Hi Rex, I have an approved Thailand Pass for the Test and Go scheme in Samui for 16th January. If I were to change to an earlier flight to arrive in Phuket instead (say 9th Jan) would I be able to use this same pass assuming I have booked a SHA plus hotel and have completed all other requirements?

    Thanks for your help

87. Good afternoon, we have just had our Thailand Passes approved for the Test and Go arrival, which we were delighted to receive. However on printing them out we were a bit shocked to find that my wife’s Mothers one was for a Sandbox Pass, not the Test and Go one we had applied for. I have emailed [email protected] to advise them of this problem yesterday and have had no response. I realise how busy the Pass Office must be, and was wondering if l had addressed my message to the wrong address. Your advice on this matter would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

    1. Dear John,

       Good day.
       One very important piece of information that the Thai media got wrong is the cut-off date for arriving in Thailand. Basically, there isn’t one. Earlier this week, the media were saying you must arrive before 10th January if you didn’t want to do quarantine. That is not true. You can arrive on the date that was approved on your application.
       Thank you.

89. Hi Paul,
    We got our TH pass a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, our original flight to Bkk (don mueng airport) just got cancelled, and I will need to repurchase a new ticket from a different airline which only flies to Suvarnabhumi airport. Will I have a problem at customs?

    Also, you mentioned the pass is valid for 72 hours window from the original flight time. My question is, would I be able to bring forward my flight?

    TIA for your help.

91. Hello,

    Could you, please, consult on the following:

    On the 25th December I have a flight to Phuket through Bangkok from Russia. I’m fully vaccinated and plan to use Sanbox program (I have already booked a SHA+ hotel in Phuket). Should I pass PCR-test in Bangkok upon arrival, book SHA+ hotel in Bangkok and wait for results there? Or I could have a connecting flight to Phuket without PCR in Bangkok and pass PCR upon arrival to Phuket?

    Kind regards and thank you!

    Reply

    1. Hi Ksenia,

       If your first arrival city in Thailand is Bangkok, you have to do your Sandbox at an AQ/SHA+ hotel in Bangkok for 7 nights before you can travel to Phuket. However, if you wish to do Sandbox in Phuket, we recommend booking a flight that lands directly in Phuket.

       Thank you.
