Chiang Mai has just announced a facility to help foreigners register for the vaccine, that 's a huge step compared to a week ago, I suspect we may see the pace increase quite substantially in coming weeks.

That's interesting and encouraging news.

 

However, as always the deviled eggs are in the details.

 

So what we need to know about that are:

 

Are passports accepted or are pink card Thai id numbers still required?

 

Are high risk foreigners over 60 / certain conditions being booked for June jabs the same as Thais or not?

 

What if any proof of residence is required?

 

Is is required for the foreigners  to be already on record at hospitals to be registered?

 

I assume you're talking about for the free Thai public program currently offering only Sinovac and Astra. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Passports - YES

 

Hi risk/over 60 for June - YES

 

Proof of address - none asked for but I sent a copy of my Thai DL anyway

 

Proof of residence - none asked for

 

Already on record at hospital - not required, you specify the hospital where you want to be vaccinated.

 

Vaccine type - nothing mentioned at this stage.

 

This is an insurance policy for me, if a private hospital offers me Pfizer before the current bunch offer me their shot, I'll go with Pfizer.

 

Also:

An email message to me this morning from the cmcovid team:

 

"We are filling out your registration form and submitting it.

 

Please wait for our contact to book your registration date after the system accepts your registration".
