I am a Expat living in Thailand and will be going on a 9 day holiday with my Thai family to Australia, I have asked about the Covid-19 Insurance and because I live in Thailand there will be no departure date from Thailand. AXA and some other Insurances have stated that I cannot apply if I am in Thailand and must have Covid-19 Insurance for the whole period in Thailand, I have stated that I live here on a Retirement Visa and was still told that I must have for the full period or at least 12 months cover. I have Private health Insurance here in Thailand and have done for 10 years. I have even noted that the Thai consular site says that returning Expats do not require the mandatory insurance if they are working in Thailand, nothing about retirement. So it would appear that I have to purchase 12 months of Covid-19 insurance to be able to apply for a Thai Pass, then the problem of no departure date on the Thai Pass again as I live here. Can you shed any light on this issue.
If you have private insurance and it meets the minimum requirements of: - $10,000 USD medical cover - COVID cover You can use that for Thai Pass. If it does not cover these, then many expats will get a 30 day policy when returning. You could apply for this while in Australia and before you return.
May I ask about the insurance policy? I've been working in Thailand for 6 years and plan to go abroad. Do I need to buy the Covid insurance when returning to Thailand? thanks..
Hi thanks so much for the helpful video! I have everything I need to apply for the Thai pass however I have not booked accommodation yet as I wanted to decide where to stay when I get there (after looking around a bit). Will this be an issue with my Thai pass being processed or do I need to booked something in advance?
You can put an address for where you think you are staying. IF you decide to change that is ok. You just need an address in order to submit the application.
Hi! thanks for video. I have a question please. I'm travelling from Oman to Qatar (connection flight - hopping into new airplane) then to Phuket. In the Thai Pass, which Country of Departure shall I mention, my original departure (Oman) or my connection flight departure (Qatar)? Appreciate your answer as my flight is soon.
If you flight is on a single itinerary and you do not pass through passport control than you do not need a Thai Pass. IF you bought separate tickets then you will need to apply.
If I understand correctly, someone applying for a Thai pass has to book their flight first. What happens if the Thai pass is not granted? Is the applicant expected to eat the cost of the airline ticket?
You do not need to provide proof of a flight booking, but you need to provide a flight number into the Thai Pass system. You can enter the number of a flight you think you will take.
If you have recovered from Covid but are not vaccinated you will still need to enter the country as an unvaccinated visitor. This would mean either doing 5-day Alternate Quarantine, or if you do not want to do the quarantine you can complete an RT-PCR test within 72 hours of leaving your country and upload the result into your Thailand Pass application.
Hello I have a family member that is in Thailand for a 2 week trip. He is still currently in Thailand. He want to extend his trip for 30 more day. How does he extend his Thailand pass? I email AXA and they have no issue changing his insurance policy.
If your family member is in Thailand on a 30 day "visa on arrival", they can go to the local immigration office and request an "extension of stay". They will need to do this before the first visa expires (1 or 2 days before) and this will allow them to stay for another 30 days. The cost is normally 1900 baht.
Expats working & living in Thailand, who have a Social Security Card do not need a Covid insurance, correct? How to proceed? We do not have the insurance policy number.
I will transit through Thailand to depart to another country in 31/05. In my flight ticket, it said "baggage not checked through" Do i need to register for Thaipass or only need medical insurance? Please let me know. Thanks for your support!
Hello, great video! I am having a bit trouble understanding the rules of vacinaction certificate though. I have recovered from covid-19 in october 2020. The vaccine was not available in Norway for me until august of 2021. I got a Moderna shot, and since I had recovered from covid, this dose was considered dose number 2 for me and I was considered fully vaccinated. My certificate says it is still active and I'm wondering if this is good enough for Thailand to accept as fully vaccinated? Would it help if I got my doctor to provide medical certificate certifying my recovery and/or bloodtest result showing current amount of anti bodies in my blood? Thank you!
If you are recovered and have 1 shot you are considered fully vaccinated. You will upload the Vaccination certificate into Thailand Pass and include the QR code if you have one. You do not need a certificate from your doctor.
Hallo, i plan to visit bangkok in 27 mei 2022 and i am a fully vaccinated even i have a booster vaccinated.. so my question is, do I have to RT-PCR 72 hours before arrival? And after arriving in Bangkok, do I have to repeat the PCR?
Let say if I plan to go bkk on next year mar 2023, by when I need to apply the travel pass? And by when I need to purchase the travel insurance? May I know how to purchase the travel insurance?
You can apply up to 60 days before you travel. But March is a long way off and there will be many changes before then. Best to follow official updates and you will have a better idea closer to your travel date.
Will I need the Thai Pass if Im only flying into the BKK airport to catch a separate flight to Laos? As long as I remain in the airport to catch my next flight, will I or wont I need the Thai Pass to be in/go to the Thailand international airport?
I will be arriving in Thailand on 27th May and on same day I have connecting flight to other country which is not in a same booking itinerary. Do I need to apply for Thai pass as I have to exit immigration to claim my baggage?
Does my Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card count as my Certificate of Vaccination? That is the only documentation I have. Also, the card does not have a QR Code..
Alas, when I try to apply for the Thailand Pass, immediately after the page where I upload my three (THREE!) vaccination shot documents, it takes me straight to the "prove you've booked and paid for a quarantine hotel" page. I see no place to bypass this.

Should I have to apply for a Thailand pass when I am not arriving In Phuket until August 6th 2022, and as I will be In Bali prior to that, It will not be easy to formulate together my correct documents without my desk top computer, I am 83 and not as literate as I was. Douglas Gray mPerth
If you are vaccinated you do not need to show proof of accommodation. You just need to enter the address of where you will stay on the first night. You are free to stay anywhere.
My international vaccine certificate has both dates on it for the first and second dose I don't have 2 seperate documents do you just upload that twice?
it appears thailand doesnt recognize johnson and johnson, everything i read say 3 shots, with jonson and johnson you only need 2 shots, can you tell me why this problem exists, thank you
You can see here. Johnson only needs 1 shot. www.thaiembassy.com/travel-to-thailand/thailand-pass-faqs#what-are-the-vaccines-approved-by-the-thailand-ministry-of-public-health-moph
Hi please help . my son will be transiting in Thailand for a total of 8 hours on the way to London does he still need insurance for THailand for such a short time ? TIA
Hi thank you for the video but I have a question, I’m not vaccinated and I have negative pcr test but when I enter the option no quarantine it doesn’t let me upload my pcr test and want the vaccine document…
If we are fully vaccinated, why do we need a hotel in addition to our preferred resort that is not in Phuket? If a non-vaccinated person with a rt-pcr test doesn't need a hotel, why do we? If so, instead can we provide a rt-pcr test?
You do not need to provide proof of a hotel booking. You need to put an address of where you will stay on the first night. This is needed by all people in order to submit the Thai Pass.
Hello and thx for the information. I am leaving USA June 3 but will not arrive in Bangkok until June 5. I am not sure how long it takes to get test results. I hope it's only a few hours. Can you please tell me what day I need to get the test so I can upload it to Thailand pass? I assume I need the test results completed by my June 2. Any insights and tips would be greatly appreciated.
I have a question, I have everything booked for my Travel to Thailand, my question is about putting in hotel details, I have booked a hotel off Agoda but Agoda gives you the option to pay nearer the time, will this be accepted? I already have the Booking ID for it
Hello! Thanks for the video! I´m fravelling from Australia to Bangkok, where I intend to stay for a couple of weeks and then go to Malasia. I need to get back to Bangkok because my return flight to Australia is from there, do I need to re apply for another Thailand Pass to be able to go back? Thanks!
For the Thailand pass, and hotel reporting, Is this to report where I'm going to be my whole trip? My plan is to be in Bangkok for a few days after arrival and then go north.
Hello, can I apply Thai pass first than booked my tickets and hotel?because if I book my ticket n hotel than Thai pass not approved than all Will be wasted.
You need to enter a flight number and address in order to submit the Thai Pass. You can enter the details of where you think you will stay and what flight you might take. But Thai Pass now approves within a few hours.
You can add the details of your child into your Thailand Pass application. If you are vaccinated, your child enters the same way as you. She will not need any tests. She will need to be covered by insurance though.
No. You do not need to be vaccinated. This is the process for unvaccinated travellers. www.thaiembassy.com/travel-to-thailand/how-unvaccinated-travelers-enter-thailand-after-june-1
Hi, may I ask what if the hotel is not required to be paid in full ? The hotel requires us to pay it at the hotel itself. Does it still need to be shown as paid?
You do not need to provide proof of a hotel payment in your Thailand Pass. You will need to enter the address of where you will be staying, but can pay the hotel on arrival if you prefer.
Hi ,thanks for the great video, I need some help here and I'm from Malaysia 1) need to purchase a confirm air ticket before apply thailand pass ? 2) a Taiwanese friend is going with me to bkk ,can she apply visa upon arrival in Don mueang Airport? 3) any specific amount of thai bath that Malaysian and Taiwanese need to bring along upon arriving bkk ? Appreciated for your reply
1) Yes. You will need to put the flight number into the Thai Pass System. 2) If Taiwan is a Visa-Exempt country they can get a visa on arrival. 3) There is no requirement to show money held in an account.
My vaccination certificate has been rejected twice. Any ideas why this is? Maybe I need to include the QR code too? I am using a jpeg of my NHS (I’m British, vaccinated in UK) vaccine certificates. Any idea why it’s being rejected? Sorry if this is vague but I’m doing exactly as the video advices but my pass was rejected twice. Thanks!
Hello, excellent video. One question: If Iam planing to travel Thailand for a unknow period (less thn 3 months) Do I need a flight back to enter Thailand or can I let a open ticken for my flight back? Thanks
My Thai partner has a Thai pass issued, but is now coming into Thailand 2 days later on a different flight.is her Thai pass still ok as it says on website no need to modify if within 7 days.
You would need to check your policy. If medical insurance says that it will cover Covid-19 related incidents then it is fine. If it doesn't then you would need a separate policy.
Halo thanks for the video I wanna go to thailand for 7 days, first i have to stay in bangkok for 3 days and move to phuket after that. Should I register for thailand pass twice? Because in this video, going to bangkok and phuket have different website to get a thailand pass. Thanks
Hello, I will arrive in Thailand on the 27th of mai. I had my 3 vaccine shots. Do i need a PCR test 72 hours prior even if i'm fully vaccinated? Thanks
Hi I have a question. I receive a thailand pass but it state only no qurantine. However when I see my partner thailand pass it state no qurantine with vaccine. Am I doing it wrong? I did insert my vaccination cert when applying. No qurantine pass means I can go in without art test?
@@thaiembassy thanks for replying. I found out the issue is with my partner entry is only valid for 3days on the pass. I wonder why and how do I amend it to 7days? I don't see the option asking me how long do I stay to declare for the air travel.
If you are referring to the "Valid to" date range. That is how long your Thai Pass is valid to use if you change arrival dates. Thailand Pass is only to arrive in Thailand. It does not change how long you are staying for.
i have a problem. i am filling up thailand pass, but since i am arriving and departing the same day (ill stay there for 2 hours) it wont allow me to set the dates...does that mean i need to fill out my thailand pass or not? many thanks
If you are transiting through Thailand and are booked on a single ticked, you do not need to apply for Thailand Pass as not passing immigration control.
Hello, I have completed three doses of vaccine in Thailand. If I need to renew my passport, do I need to update the passport number on my vaccine certificate? If yes, where and how can I update the passport number of the vaccine certificate? Thank you.
As long as it has your other details correct. It should be ok. Otherwise contact whoever issued your vaccine certificate and ask if you can get it updated to the new passport.
Hi! Thanks for a video, but the information about certificate of vaccination isn't clear enough for me. Me and my husband fully vaccinated, I took 2nd dose at 01/05/2021, he took the same at 15/09/2021. Our travel period starts from 15 of may 2022. Will our certificates of vaccination be accepted?
@@thaiembassy We were vaccinated with both doses in 2021, but traveling a year later in October 2022, Will this be considered as okay or do we have to get the booster to enter?
Hi Me and my Family is travelling to Thailand for on this Saturday .We have applied Thai pass 4 days ago and still didn’t received. Could you please tell what we can do here.
Thanks for the video. But my wife and I have the EU covid passport rather than certificates of each individual vaccination. I assume these are acceptable, but how do we include these in our applications?
Hi, thank you for your information. I still have some questions, hope you can help me with this: I’ve just booked a flight from Hanoi to Chiang Mai operated by Thai Smile Airways. Since there’s no direct flights from Vietnam to Chiang Mai at the moment, my flight consists of 2 flights and I will have to transit in Bangkok: Hanoi to Bangkok and Bangkok to Chiang Mai (different flight numbers but sharing the same booking ref). Because I didn’t book my flights separately (I chose the Origin as Hanoi and Destination as Chiang Mai when booking on Thai Smile Airways), I won’t have to self-transit in Bangkok. My questions are: 1. Do I have to go through the immigration & passport control upon arrival in Bangkok? Or I will go through the immigration only when I arrive in Chiang Mai? 2. When applying for Thailand Pass, I should choose Bangkok or Chiang Mai as my First arrival port in Thailand? Thank you so much.
@@thaiembassy you mean even if I booked a flight to Chiang Mai, I will always have to go through the immigration control in Bangkok for sure, right? Because this is not a self-transfer flight, I believe I won't have to collect baggage in Bangkok so I don't know whether I will pass through the immigration in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. If I put Bangkok as my First arrival port in Thailand but end up going through the immigration control in Chiang Mai, will my Thai Pass get rejected?
Thank you very much for this helpful video. One question: I will get the Novavax vaccination and could'nt find it in the list. Is it approved for the Thaipass? My daughter (Thai) and me (German) plan to visit our family in July. THX
Greetings, RT-PCR is required 72 hours before entering thailand, just to double confirm, this is not home test kit right? As for the insurance, we are travelling via Air Asia, we have bought the travel insurance including covid-19 insurance covering 1,500,000 thb , can we use this insurance or we have to purchase additional AXA insurance?
It is required 72 hours before departure. It is not a home rapid test. If your insurance lists Covid cover and 1,500,000 ($10,000 USD) it will be fine.
im full of Vaccinated , then can i book sha hotel only for 2 day , then book another hotel without SHA+ ? im full vaccinated + booster i will stay in bangkok for 14 day
You do not need to show proof of a hotel booking. If you are vaccinated you can stay anywhere. You just have to put an address into your application so you can submit it.
I'm fully vaccinated and got the "booster" too, and have proof in the form of an official State of California (where I am) certificate in pdf format including a QR code. Will I have a problem with the Thailand Pass website accepting this "proof" when submitted?
@@thaiembassy hi, I am going to thailand, I am fully vaccineted, but im gonna stay with my girlfriend, she is thai, do I need to rent a hotel anyway?? I don't understand
Hi there, travelling to Thailand next week! For the Thai Pass - can you upload two separate insurance policies: one for COVID and one for Medical/Travel insurance? Or will it have to be one all-inclusive policy? Many thanks :)
How are you supposed to apply for the Thailand pass with a RT-PCR test with enough time for it to get approved? I cant submit the form until i upload the test results which will be within 3 days of travel
My flight is May 20,2022 from Philippines, just registered now the they gave me 6 digit number, but the Thai Pass will be given within 48 hours is it okay? I have my confirm hotel booking, insurance, PTCR test and International Vaccine card. Kindly reply please. Thank you.
Hello. great video as usual. I applied and received the Thai pass prior to May 1 process change. That is with the Hotel requirement etc. Is this Thai pass still valid even though it was gained prior to May 1 ?
I left Thailand in late Feb, 2022, for a family emergency. I had been on a retirement visa, but failed to get a re-entry permit. I would like to return, and want to know if a round trip ticket is required, or just an estimated departure date. I hope to re-apply for a retirement visa once again, and I still have a bank account in Thailand, but I am nervous about transferring a lot of cash into Thailand before I know if I am approved to go. Is it still possible to arrive as a tourist, and then apply for a retirement visa once inside of Thailand? Also, with a Thailand pass, how long am I allowed to remain in Thailand, and is it possible to extend the original visa once in Thailand. Thank you.
You do not need a round ticket. Thailand Pass does not require a departure date. Thailand Pass isn't affected by your time in country, it just allows you to enter.
hi sir, just got my thai pass approved but my stay is from 22n may to 1 june and my in my thai pass its written "valid entry from=15 may" , "valid entry till=29 may". so what about time from 29that till 1st june stay?
You can use your Thailand Pass for 7 days either side of your original arrival date (if your flights change). This is what the "Valid entry" date range is. It does not affect how long you are staying in Thailand.
hi sir, me n my husband are travelling to thailand in a week. My husband has applied for travel insurance for 50,000 USD and has added me under "Add traveller" option. So do i have to buy a seperate travel insurance under my name too or this one will work for both of us? And if yes then do we have to attach the same insurance attachment in both our thai pass form? KINDLY HELP...ITS URGENT SIR! 🙏

Hello thanks for this useful video :).so if i am not vaccinated i need to do a PCR test 72h hours before our date of departure ( departure December 20th). so on December December 23rd i need to do the test. I am scare to not have he result quickly then apply for the Thailand pass even though in the comment below it is mentioned that your pass can be accepted within the 24h.
Right now that is the process. There are many proposals for changes in the next few months. The best thing to do is follow official updates. If you are travelling in December, things may change again before you arrive.

May I ask about the insurance policy? I've been working in Thailand for 6 years and plan to go abroad. Do I need to buy the Covid insurance when returning to Thailand? thanks..
Yes. All people entering Thailand must have valid insurance.
@@thaiembassy I have health insurance from my working place in Thailand. Is it enough ?
Do you have a list of places where I should get my PCT test in the UK?
Apologies. No. Best to contact the a local medical facility for a list.

You put your original country of departure.
Thank you for the video.
I just have a question
Do I need a Thailand pass if my connecting flight is in Thailand
If you flight is on a single itinerary and you do not pass through passport control than you do not need a Thai Pass. IF you bought separate tickets then you will need to apply.
I am traveling to Bali before going to Thailand. On the Travel Pass do I list traveling from California, or Bali
If you are transiting through Bali then put America. But if you are spending time in Bali then put Bali as your departure country.
Can i get another insurance apart from AXA?
Yes. As long as the insurance has $10,000USD and COVID cover it is acceptable.
Its to difficult
Is only AXA insurance can be used or any others too?
AXA is recognised in Thailand and approves faster. As long as it has $10,000 USD + covid cover, any policy is fine.
If I understand correctly, someone applying for a Thai pass has to book their flight first. What happens if the Thai pass is not granted? Is the applicant expected to eat the cost of the airline ticket?
You do not need to provide proof of a flight booking, but you need to provide a flight number into the Thai Pass system. You can enter the number of a flight you think you will take.

Hello I didn’t hear on the video anything regarding people who are unvaccinated but have recovered from covid infection.
If you have recovered from Covid but are not vaccinated you will still need to enter the country as an unvaccinated visitor.
This would mean either doing 5-day Alternate Quarantine, or if you do not want to do the quarantine you can complete an RT-PCR test within 72 hours of leaving your country and upload the result into your Thailand Pass application.
Hello I have a family member that is in Thailand for a 2 week trip. He is still currently in Thailand. He want to extend his trip for 30 more day. How does he extend his Thailand pass? I email AXA and they have no issue changing his insurance policy.
If your family member is in Thailand on a 30 day "visa on arrival", they can go to the local immigration office and request an "extension of stay". They will need to do this before the first visa expires (1 or 2 days before) and this will allow them to stay for another 30 days. The cost is normally 1900 baht.
Expats working & living in Thailand, who have a Social Security Card do not need a Covid insurance, correct? How to proceed? We do not have the insurance policy number.
If you have Social Security and it covers you for medical you will be ok.
Hello sir, is it ok if I will buy the insurance here at AXA Philippines if I want to travel there in Thailand...???
As long as the insurance has the minimum $10,000USD and Covid cover, it will be ok.
I will transit through Thailand to depart to another country in 31/05. In my flight ticket, it said "baggage not checked through" Do i need to register for Thaipass or only need medical insurance? Please let me know. Thanks for your support!
IF you have to pass through Passport control and book in to your next flight, you will need to apply for a Thailand Pass.

The vaccine was not available in Norway for me until august of 2021.

If you are recovered and have 1 shot you are considered fully vaccinated. You will upload the Vaccination certificate into Thailand Pass and include the QR code if you have one.
You do not need a certificate from your doctor.
Hallo, i plan to visit bangkok in 27 mei 2022 and i am a fully vaccinated even i have a booster vaccinated.. so my question is, do I have to RT-PCR 72 hours before arrival? And after arriving in Bangkok, do I have to repeat the PCR?
No. IF you are vaccinated you do not need to get any RT-PCR tests.
I have booked multiple hotels in Thailand, which address do i need to provide in the accommodation section?
You will enter the address of the first hotel you will stay at. You do not need to provide proof of booking, just the address.
Let say if I plan to go bkk on next year mar 2023, by when I need to apply the travel pass? And by when I need to purchase the travel insurance? May I know how to purchase the travel insurance?

If you pass through Passport Control and recheck in to your second flight then you will need a Thailand Pass.
I will be arriving in Thailand on 27th May and on same day I have connecting flight to other country which is not in a same booking itinerary. Do I need to apply for Thai pass as I have to exit immigration to claim my baggage?
If you are exiting through Passport Control to board a flight on a separate ticket you will need to apply for a Thailand Pass.
Does my Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card count as my Certificate of Vaccination? That is the only documentation I have. Also, the card does not have a QR Code..
Every country is different. Apply for your Thailand Pass and upload the document. See if it is accepted or rejected.
Our reservation is north of Phuket at Moracea. Is that acceptable for the first night?
You can stay anywhere when you land
Alas, when I try to apply for the Thailand Pass, immediately after the page where I upload my three (THREE!) vaccination shot documents, it takes me straight to the "prove you've booked and paid for a quarantine hotel" page. I see no place to bypass this.
You just need to input and address. You should not need to upload any documents if applying under No Quarantine.

Hi Does a picture of the COVID vaccination card (not a certificate) work? We never got a vaccination certificate nor a QR code.
All you can do is try. It depends what country you are from and what information is on the card.

You can see here. Johnson only needs 1 shot.

Yes. Insurance is needed for all people passing through Thailand.
Hi thank you for the video but I have a question, I’m not vaccinated and I have negative pcr test but when I enter the option no quarantine it doesn’t let me upload my pcr test and want the vaccine document…
Is your PCR test within 72 hours? It should be an option for you to choose the PCR test and then there is a section to upload the result.
If we are fully vaccinated, why do we need a hotel in addition to our preferred resort that is not in Phuket?
If a non-vaccinated person with a rt-pcr test doesn't need a hotel, why do we? If so, instead can we provide a rt-pcr test?
You do not need to provide proof of a hotel booking. You need to put an address of where you will stay on the first night. This is needed by all people in order to submit the Thai Pass.
Hello, thank you for the video but i have a question. When you're not staying in an ahoda hotel, do you simply enter the adress of your stay?
Yes. You just need to enter an address of where you are staying on the first night.
Is the "yellow vaccination pass" from WHO with the documentation of the covid vaccinations sufficient for the Thailand Pass?
Yes. IF it has the QR codes, be sure to upload those.
Does Singaporeans need to apply visa after landing Thailand or only thai QR code is enough?
You can get a Visa on Arrival as Singapore is a Visa Exempt country.
Hello and thx for the information. I am leaving USA June 3 but will not arrive in Bangkok until June 5. I am not sure how long it takes to get test results. I hope it's only a few hours. Can you please tell me what day I need to get the test so I can upload it to Thailand pass?
I assume I need the test results completed by my June 2.
Any insights and tips would be greatly appreciated.
You test result must be within 72 hours of your departure date. So 72 hours before June 3.
I have a question, I have everything booked for my Travel to Thailand, my question is about putting in hotel details, I have booked a hotel off Agoda but Agoda gives you the option to pay nearer the time, will this be accepted? I already have the Booking ID for it
You do not need to provide proof of booking for Thai Pass. You just need to enter the address to submit the application.
Hello! Thanks for the video! I´m fravelling from Australia to Bangkok, where I intend to stay for a couple of weeks and then go to Malasia. I need to get back to Bangkok because my return flight to Australia is from there, do I need to re apply for another Thailand Pass to be able to go back? Thanks!
Thai Pass is valid for 1 entry into Thailand. So you will need to apply for a new one when you are returning from Malaysia.
Hi, do children need covid insurance policy too ? my daughter is 10 years old
Yes, everyone needs insurance. They will need their own, or added to yours if can do a family policy.
For the Thailand pass, and hotel reporting, Is this to report where I'm going to be my whole trip? My plan is to be in Bangkok for a few days after arrival and then go north.
IF you are vaccinated you do not need to load your hotel for Thailand Pass or for while you are in Thailand.
So let me get this right i need to get my PCR test results back first then apply for thai pass will that be enough time?
Approvals are currently only taking a few hours. People doing the PCR test are being approved in time for travel.
Hello, can I apply Thai pass first than booked my tickets and hotel?because if I book my ticket n hotel than Thai pass not approved than all Will be wasted.
You need to enter a flight number and address in order to submit the Thai Pass. You can enter the details of where you think you will stay and what flight you might take. But Thai Pass now approves within a few hours.
My 3 years old daughter with travel with me in May. However she is not vaccinated how to register Thailand pass for her?
You can add the details of your child into your Thailand Pass application. If you are vaccinated, your child enters the same way as you. She will not need any tests. She will need to be covered by insurance though.
Hi @thaiembassy. I plan to arrive to Thailand from US on July 1st. Do US citizens need to be vaccinated to be approved for the Thai pass?
No. You do not need to be vaccinated. This is the process for unvaccinated travellers.
www.thaiembassy.com/travel-to-thailand/how-unvaccinated-travelers-enter-thailand-after-june-1
IAM getting test 72hrs, before flight so they have paperwork n unload my results but no QR CODE will it work
Thai Pass now approves within a few hours. You will need your QR to board the flight.
Hi, may I ask what if the hotel is not required to be paid in full ? The hotel requires us to pay it at the hotel itself. Does it still need to be shown as paid?
You do not need to provide proof of a hotel payment in your Thailand Pass. You will need to enter the address of where you will be staying, but can pay the hotel on arrival if you prefer.
Hi ,thanks for the great video, I need some help here and I'm from Malaysia
1) need to purchase a confirm air ticket before apply thailand pass ?
2) a Taiwanese friend is going with me to bkk ,can she apply visa upon arrival in Don mueang Airport?
3) any specific amount of thai bath that Malaysian and Taiwanese need to bring along upon arriving bkk ?
Appreciated for your reply
1) Yes. You will need to put the flight number into the Thai Pass System.
2) If Taiwan is a Visa-Exempt country they can get a visa on arrival.
3) There is no requirement to show money held in an account.
My vaccination certificate has been rejected twice. Any ideas why this is? Maybe I need to include the QR code too? I am using a jpeg of my NHS (I’m British, vaccinated in UK) vaccine certificates. Any idea why it’s being rejected? Sorry if this is vague but I’m doing exactly as the video advices but my pass was rejected twice. Thanks!
Yes. You need to upload the QR codes that are included in the certificate. That is the easiest way for the doses to be verified.
Hello, excellent video. One question: If Iam planing to travel Thailand for a unknow period (less thn 3 months) Do I need a flight back to enter Thailand or can I let a open ticken for my flight back?
Thanks
A return flight is not required for Thai Pass approval.
Your instructions are excellent and clear!!!
Glad it was helpful!
My Thai partner has a Thai pass issued, but is now coming into Thailand 2 days later on a different flight.is her Thai pass still ok as it says on website no need to modify if within 7 days.
Correct. Your Thai Pass can be used for up to 7 days either side of the original date. No need to get a new Pass.
Does covid insurance fall under medical insurance or do u have to get it separately?
You would need to check your policy. If medical insurance says that it will cover Covid-19 related incidents then it is fine.
If it doesn't then you would need a separate policy.
Me and my wife applied for two seperate Thai pass but it has been around 36 hours but we have not got the Thai pass approval
Hopefully you were able to receive a response or were able to reapply.
Does transit pax also needs thailand pass
No. If you are in transit you will be ok. You will need insurance though.
@@thaiembassy 10000usd value medical insurance ?
No info for non jabbed
You can find updated info for unvaccinated travelers here - www.thaiembassy.com/travel-to-thailand/how-to-apply-for-the-thailand-pass-in-2022
Hello! Thks for this step by step guide as it rly helps :D
Btw, if my insurance policy has more than one page....how do I apply then?
Ask your insurance company if you can get a letter, or take photos of the pages with the relevant information and upload those.
Can this be done on an android phone or has it got to be a laptop or desktop
It is best done on a computer.
@@thaiembassy thank you
Halo thanks for the video
I wanna go to thailand for 7 days, first i have to stay in bangkok for 3 days and move to phuket after that. Should I register for thailand pass twice? Because in this video, going to bangkok and phuket have different website to get a thailand pass. Thanks
You only need a Thailand Pass to get into the country. Once here you are free to travel anywhere.
And how long does the Thailand pass take please?🥺 I hope i get the QR code in less than 3 days. Or my 1,500$ wasted
Thai Pass now approves within a few hours - 24 hours.
Hello, I will arrive in Thailand on the 27th of mai. I had my 3 vaccine shots. Do i need a PCR test 72 hours prior even if i'm fully vaccinated? Thanks
No. You are considered full vaccinated. No test needed.
@@thaiembassy great news thank you so much
Hi I have a question. I receive a thailand pass but it state only no qurantine. However when I see my partner thailand pass it state no qurantine with vaccine. Am I doing it wrong? I did insert my vaccination cert when applying. No qurantine pass means I can go in without art test?
If your Thai Pass is approved and you have received it, then you are ok.
@@thaiembassy thanks for replying. I found out the issue is with my partner entry is only valid for 3days on the pass. I wonder why and how do I amend it to 7days? I don't see the option asking me how long do I stay to declare for the air travel.
If you are referring to the "Valid to" date range. That is how long your Thai Pass is valid to use if you change arrival dates.
Thailand Pass is only to arrive in Thailand. It does not change how long you are staying for.
i have a problem. i am filling up thailand pass, but since i am arriving and departing the same day (ill stay there for 2 hours) it wont allow me to set the dates...does that mean i need to fill out my thailand pass or not? many thanks
If you are transiting through Thailand and are booked on a single ticked, you do not need to apply for Thailand Pass as not passing immigration control.
Hello, I have completed three doses of vaccine in Thailand.
If I need to renew my passport, do I need to update the passport number on my vaccine certificate? If yes, where and how can I update the passport number of the vaccine certificate? Thank you.
As long as it has your other details correct. It should be ok. Otherwise contact whoever issued your vaccine certificate and ask if you can get it updated to the new passport.
Hi! Thanks for a video, but the information about certificate of vaccination isn't clear enough for me. Me and my husband fully vaccinated, I took 2nd dose at 01/05/2021, he took the same at 15/09/2021. Our travel period starts from 15 of may 2022. Will our certificates of vaccination be accepted?
2 doses is considered fully vaccinated. You will upload the information from the 2 doses and should be ok for approval.
@@thaiembassy We were vaccinated with both doses in 2021, but traveling a year later in October 2022, Will this be considered as okay or do we have to get the booster to enter?
Is the Thai Pass good for a stay longer than 30 days?
Thai Pass is only needed for entering the country. Once you are in Thailand it finishes. It is not affected by your length of stay.
Hi
Me and my Family is travelling to Thailand for on this Saturday .We have applied Thai pass 4 days ago and still didn’t received. Could you please tell what we can do here.
Apply again.
tp.consular.go.th/
@@thaiembassy Thankyou got it in few minutes
Thanks for the video. But my wife and I have the EU covid passport rather than certificates of each individual vaccination. I assume these are acceptable, but how do we include these in our applications?
No problem
Hi, thank you for your information. I still have some questions, hope you can help me with this:
I’ve just booked a flight from Hanoi to Chiang Mai operated by Thai Smile Airways. Since there’s no direct flights from Vietnam to Chiang Mai at the moment, my flight consists of 2 flights and I will have to transit in Bangkok: Hanoi to Bangkok and Bangkok to Chiang Mai (different flight numbers but sharing the same booking ref).
Because I didn’t book my flights separately (I chose the Origin as Hanoi and Destination as Chiang Mai when booking on Thai Smile Airways), I won’t have to self-transit in Bangkok. My questions are:
1. Do I have to go through the immigration & passport control upon arrival in Bangkok? Or I will go through the immigration only when I arrive in Chiang Mai?
2. When applying for Thailand Pass, I should choose Bangkok or Chiang Mai as my First arrival port in Thailand?
Thank you so much.
Put Bangkok as your first arrival. You may need to exit through Passport Control and transit through to your Chiang Mai Flight.
@@thaiembassy you mean even if I booked a flight to Chiang Mai, I will always have to go through the immigration control in Bangkok for sure, right? Because this is not a self-transfer flight, I believe I won't have to collect baggage in Bangkok so I don't know whether I will pass through the immigration in Bangkok or Chiang Mai.
If I put Bangkok as my First arrival port in Thailand but end up going through the immigration control in Chiang Mai, will my Thai Pass get rejected?
Hi may I know my trip on 17th June , can I apply now ? Or too early thank you
You can apply up tp 6- days before departure.
I got both my 1st and 2nd dose of vaccination last year and 3rd dose this year, is there a section to add more than the first two doses?
You can load the 3 shot as an additional document. But if you have the information for the first 2 and the QR codes, you should be ok.
@@thaiembassy thank you
Thank you very much for this helpful video.
One question: I will get the Novavax vaccination and could'nt find it in the list. Is it approved for the Thaipass? My daughter (Thai) and me (German) plan to visit our family in July. THX
Thailand Pass accepts any vaccination that is approved by the WHO.
Greetings, RT-PCR is required 72 hours before entering thailand, just to double confirm, this is not home test kit right?
As for the insurance, we are travelling via Air Asia, we have bought the travel insurance including covid-19 insurance covering 1,500,000 thb , can we use this insurance or we have to purchase additional AXA insurance?
It is required 72 hours before departure. It is not a home rapid test.
If your insurance lists Covid cover and 1,500,000 ($10,000 USD) it will be fine.
im full of Vaccinated , then can i book sha hotel only for 2 day , then book another hotel without SHA+ ? im full vaccinated + booster
i will stay in bangkok for 14 day
You do not need to show proof of a hotel booking. If you are vaccinated you can stay anywhere. You just have to put an address into your application so you can submit it.
How many days take Thailand pass. Because i have only 3 days left🥺 the QR code will receive to my email in 3 days please?
Instant after June 1.
Dear sir,
Is Thai pass is mandatory for under 6 years of old child who will travel with his parents??
Please help me?
Children under 18 can be added to a parent's Thailand Pass application as additional members. They do not need their own pass.
How long does it take to get the Thailand pass after being submitted
They are approved within a few hours to a day.
Hi . My traveling date is 26 may. To 25 june. .but my health insurance will expire in 22 june. What i do please help
You will need to extend your insurance to cover all the days you are in Thailand.
@@thaiembassy i did it thank you🤩😊😊
I'm fully vaccinated and got the "booster" too, and have proof in the form of an official State of California (where I am) certificate in pdf format including a QR code. Will I have a problem with the Thailand Pass website accepting this "proof" when submitted?
Your forms and QR are good. But be aware you cannot load PDF's into Thailand Pass. Take photos of the documents and upload them as photos/jpegs.
@@thaiembassy hi, I am going to thailand, I am fully vaccineted, but im gonna stay with my girlfriend, she is thai, do I need to rent a hotel anyway?? I don't understand
No. If you are vaccinated you are free to travel and stay anywhere when you arrive.
Hello, I am staying at my friends house in Bangkok when I arrive on the 4th of June. Is that acceptable for the pass? Or do I need to book a hotel?
Yes. You just need to enter an address of where you are staying on the first night.
@@thaiembassy Perfect! Thank you!
Hi there, travelling to Thailand next week! For the Thai Pass - can you upload two separate insurance policies: one for COVID and one for Medical/Travel insurance? Or will it have to be one all-inclusive policy? Many thanks :)
Try uploading both and see if it approves. Otherwise you will need 1 policy inclusive.
Do you really require a hotel reservation to get a Thailand pass? This seems nonsense to us since my wife has an apartment she owns in Thailand.
If you are vaccinated or entering under a PCR test you do not need a hotel. You just have to put the address where you will be staying.
Hi,
Do I need to get a pcr or rtpcr test before my departure to thailand?
It depends on the country you are returning too. Thailand does not require one to leave.
How are you supposed to apply for the Thailand pass with a RT-PCR test with enough time for it to get approved? I cant submit the form until i upload the test results which will be within 3 days of travel
Approvals for Thailand Pass are quite fast. A few hours to a day.
I'm canadian and going to Bangkok may 24th to June 19th. Do I need a Thailand visa?
Canada is on the list of Visa Exempt countries so you can get a 30 day "Visa on Arrival".
My flight is May 20,2022 from Philippines, just registered now the they gave me 6 digit number, but the Thai Pass will be given within 48 hours is it okay?
I have my confirm hotel booking, insurance, PTCR test and International Vaccine card. Kindly reply please. Thank you.
If your Thai Pass is not approved before your flight, you will not be allowed to board the flight.
There is no option for choosing Thais. There is only one option for non-thais
Thai Nationals no longer need to apply for Thai Pass after June 1.
Hello. great video as usual. I applied and received the Thai pass prior to May 1 process change. That is with the Hotel requirement etc. Is this Thai pass still valid even though it was gained prior to May 1 ?
Your current Thai Pass will still be valid if still arriving on the same date.
I left Thailand in late Feb, 2022, for a family emergency. I had been on a retirement visa, but failed to get a re-entry permit. I would like to return, and want to know if a round trip ticket is required, or just an estimated departure date. I hope to re-apply for a retirement visa once again, and I still have a bank account in Thailand, but I am nervous about transferring a lot of cash into Thailand before I know if I am approved to go. Is it still possible to arrive as a tourist, and then apply for a retirement visa once inside of Thailand? Also, with a Thailand pass, how long am I allowed to remain in Thailand, and is it possible to extend the original visa once in Thailand. Thank you.
You do not need a round ticket. Thailand Pass does not require a departure date. Thailand Pass isn't affected by your time in country, it just allows you to enter.
hi sir, just got my thai pass approved but my stay is from 22n may to 1 june and my in my thai pass its written "valid entry from=15 may" , "valid entry till=29 may".
so what about time from 29that till 1st june stay?
You can use your Thailand Pass for 7 days either side of your original arrival date (if your flights change). This is what the "Valid entry" date range is. It does not affect how long you are staying in Thailand.
Hi Sir.
Is there will be an issue if name is Priyam Prabhav and in thai pass it is Priyam PrabhavX
He is under 18
IF you have time, reapply for a new Pass to fix it. If not, as long as both names are there, it would be ok.
hi sir, me n my husband are travelling to thailand in a week. My husband has applied for travel insurance for 50,000 USD and has added me under "Add traveller" option. So do i have to buy a seperate travel insurance under my name too or this one will work for both of us?
And if yes then do we have to attach the same insurance attachment in both our thai pass form?
KINDLY HELP...ITS URGENT SIR! 🙏
As long as both your names are clearly stated on the policy, you can upload the same policy into your application. You don't need separate insurance.
Hi . Im fully vaccinated, do i need the PCR test for 26/may please?
No. Apply under No Quarantine. No test needed.
How long it will take for the approval of tai pass If am applying on may 9?
Thai Pass currently approves in a few hours - 48 hours.

Hello thanks for this useful video :).so if i am not vaccinated i need to do a PCR test 72h hours before our date of departure ( departure December 20th). so on December December 23rd i need to do the test. I am scare to not have he result quickly then apply for the Thailand pass even though in the comment below it is mentioned that your pass can be accepted within the 24h.
Right now that is the process. There are many proposals for changes in the next few months. The best thing to do is follow official updates.
If you are travelling in December, things may change again before you arrive.
