Download a Registration Card Archive
Most archives prepare in under 5 minutes. AVA now creates or resumes a background job first.
This guide helps you download saved registration cards and reopen prepared archives before they expire. Older direct ZIP exports still exist for compatibility.
AVA prepares large archives in temporary storage. Download prepared files within 7 days.
Go to: Reports → Thailand Immigration Reports
Quick Reference
| Setting | What it controls | What you should expect |
|---|---|---|
| Start Date | First hotel-local date in the archive | AVA includes cards from this date |
| End Date | Last hotel-local date in the archive | AVA includes cards through this date |
| Hotel timezone | How AVA reads the selected dates | The same range can change by timezone |
| Archive job | Background work that prepares the file | AVA creates or resumes it first |
| Prepared archive | A reusable download for large exports | You can download it again for 7 days |
| Legacy ZIP export | Older direct export kept for compatibility | Use it only when the async flow is unavailable |
| Availability note | The message shown beside the prepared download | It reminds staff to download the file before it expires |
How the Archive Flow Works
AVA checks the latest matching job first. If AVA finds a queued or processing job, it resumes polling it. If AVA finds a completed job, it downloads the signed file. If no matching job exists, AVA creates a new background job. The direct ZIP export remains available for compatibility.
When you return later, AVA looks up the latest matching job for the same dates and timezone. If the job is ready, you see Download prepared archive. You also see a note that the prepared archive is available for 7 days.
