Banana7 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I understand the first time you enter Thailand they take prints of all 10 fingers/thumbs. Do they continue to do all 10 on additional arrival and departures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbo Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 On my 3rd arrival after initial registration they did only one hand I was surprised I had to register at both airports, seems not to be linked... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocky Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 No. First time I was scanned coming into to Hat Yai back in February, 4 fingers left, 4 fingers right, thumbs together. Since then arriving at Hat Yai and Suvarnabhumi they've just needed the one scan of 4 fingers. The system, at least with the airports, seems to be joined up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetops Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Reports vary. I had to do 4 fingers times 2 but no thumbs on entry at Friendship Bridge, Nong Khai this week following a full set at BKK 3 weeks before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aachen Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 What would it be good for, if not scanning every time? Thailand is not the only country with scanners! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to do all 10 digits every time to identify you, hence the question in the OP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My personal experience is as follows:- When I recently flew from Khon Kaen to Siem Reap with Air Asia's "fly-thru" service, I gave a full biometric set of prints (4 fingers and 2 thumbs) with a photo at the Immigration Desk in Khon Kaen International Departure lounge. On my return all I had to show were the 4 finger prints of my right hand and a photo taken. Since then, I have flown to Yangon from DMK. On the outward journey there were only 3 Immigration desks open and the queue of passengers for early morning flights grew longer and longer, even back into the Check-in Hall! The biometric system was suspended and all we had to show were our passports, TM6 (Departure) and boarding cards. A photo was taken. No fingerprinting at all. On return from Yangon, prints of 4 fingers of right hand were checked and a photo taken. It appears to be a "hit or miss" situation depending on the number of IO's on duty and the number of passengers for processing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danthai Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I Have not been fingerprinted yet because I haven't gone anywhere since fingerprinting started. When I leave and/or come back, what is the procedure I should follow so I don't double Queue coming or going.

Letseng Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 3 weeks ago 2 of us returned from Europe. We stood in the same queue in fasttrack. Hubby got fingerprinted, I didn't. We both hadn't been f'printed in the past. 39 minutes ago, Danthai said: I Have not been fingerprinted yet because I haven't gone anywhere since fingerprinting started.

Misab Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Of course they will always scan at least 4 fingers. It is an identification of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your problem? Do you think Thailand is the first country using fingerprints? If you have a new passport,you have 2 fingerprints scanned in it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldera Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 For what it's worth, when I flew out from DMK a few days ago, only 1 out of 3 outbound immigration lanes I could overlook was using the fingerprint scanner. No idea why the others didn't work or weren't used, but it's quite surprising after such a short time in service. Amazing Thailand, fingerprint scanners that disintegrate after two months in operation. I ended up in a lane where no fingerprinting was done. I, too, was curious if they were only going to scan the initial 4 fingers in my case, as I earlier had all 10 fingers scanned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
