Electronic system replaces paper: Agreement reached to stop suspects fleeing Thailand

The Thai Court of Justice and Immigration have inked an electronic data sharing deal that aims to stop suspects and defendants temporarily released by the courts from fleeing Thailand. 

 

The "realtime" system is part of the country's "4.0" upgrades, reported Naew Na. 

 

The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by a justice secretary Sarawut Benjakun and immigration deputy Pol Maj-Gen Pornchai Khantee at the Ratchadaphisek court yesterday. 

 

The agreement will link the Government Information Network with immigration's much vaunted two billion baht "biometrics" system. 

 

It will enable the authorities to more effectively monitor those forbidden from leaving the kingdom as well as those who are permitted to travel while out on bail. 

 

It will affect 6,000 people annually. 

 

Maj-Gen Pornchai said that the old system was done on paper and took two or three days.

Impossible. Everyone knows that computer technology is for social media, shopping, and playing games. Government business, on the other hand, requires vast, astronomical, mountains of paper. This is obviously fake news. .

Great! One step in the right direction that will be more effective and quicker. Hopefully with a good result too.

Nope. they still need to write it down too, as a safety copy. Imagine what the world would be without all the archieves full of healty trees.

Welcome to the latter part of the 20th century Thailand.

Thais love paper. I can’t see them doing away with the need to use so much paper. 
 

Maybe they will create a digital system that will still require a print out and a photocopy of said print out. That would be the Thai way.

When they will move to 2.0 for visa renewals? We are still stuck at 1.0.

If they can do that, they an fix the immigration issues everyone faces-get on it boys-oh limits to corruption not allowed oops

It's the build number, i.e. v0.0.4

If only they could also link immigration own database so I would not have to submit same 300 page pile of papers every year in duplicates and each page signed for business visa extension that would be real achievement
