Same problem. First time it says IT error and second time it says email taken. Wonder who tested it....

I finally made it using a third email address that apparently hit the right buttons and got me through. Filled out the form and clicked on "register" and it gave me the error message again then I went back a page and got the "Registration SUCCESS" page with a big green circle with check in it. Now have to wait to see how long it takes for them to get back to me as I live in Khanom in the south.

The NBT Facebook page is now stating that the owner organization is in the process of fixing the problem(s).

Reading the site comments,it almost sounds like multiple server crashes as they may not have anticipated such a rush of applicants.

How could they possibly anticipate a rush of applicants?

It looks like another classic Thai app. Richard Barrow has issued a warning:

With that level of incompetence, you get the feeling they do it on purpose and someone somewhere is laughing their arse off. I'm glad it didn't accept my info now - won't be trying again.

I thought the new app was for use only by foreigners who have yet to be vaccinated. Not all foreigners. I assume that will include those on the HHH list to be vaccinated?

Sinovac:

Which of course doesn't help all those medical personnel in Asia who have been vaccinated twice with sinovac and who subsequently succumbed to covid, after two doses of sinovac.

A Doctor in Thailand tested herself for antibodies a few weeks after receiving sinovac x2, I believe, I can't remember the exact details, and found they had dropped by 40%.

On the UK forum I use, one of the mods (a well educated one :D ) trained as a volunteer 'vaccinator' and in the middle of July, reported two case where couples had returned from Dubai, where one couple had received x2 does of sinopharm, the other x2 of sinovac. They were tested for the antibodies needed to fight covid, of which there was no trace in their bodies!

They seem to make that mistake with every new app they create. They basically say if not vaccinated, register here. I fell for that a few times, then realised they were just pulling my strings. My very first registration came through in the end, and I've now cancelled all subsequent registrations,

Are you talking about this new system, BB? Didn't you already have your first dose?

One has to wonder what 'benefits' there were buying such an expensive vaccine, with a poor reputation.
Ask someone with shares in Sinovac.

The expat vac registration site worked like a dream for me just now (using safari on an iPhone and a yahoo email address).
Now, the long wait begins again….

New systems seem to be getting delivered weekly. That has been happening for a long time. I'm talking back to the early days of registration. Yes, I've been jabbed, and it resulted from the first of many registrations.

Two or three possibly helpful hints:
Date of Birth - clicking the back arrow 720+ times can be avoided. Click the part of the calendar drop down that shows the month and year. Should then be able to go back year by year and not month by month
Nationality - drop down menu uses English country names BUT appears to be in Thai alphabetical order. If your country is not where you expect it to be, just keep scrolling…. And scrolling….
Uploading passport and visa copies - you need to do both copies at the same time. It doesn’t seem to allow you to upload one by one

Just received an email saying this:

Your registration for the FIRST dose of COVID-19 vaccination is successful.
Once available appointment slot is sent to your email, please confirm within 24 hours.

Failure to confirm within 24 hours will result in the cancellation of your preregistration.

For those residing in provinces other than Bangkok and neighbouring provinces (Nakorn Pathom, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan and Samut Sakhon), the Ministry of Public Health will assign a vaccination site in your area. Your vaccination allocation will be provided according to priorities set by the Ministry of Public Health, i.e. age group, vulnerability, high risk zone e.t.c
