snoop1130 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 BANGKOK (NNT) - The Thai government has officially launched the ThaID (THAI-I-D) mobile application, a major development in digital transactions for personal identity verification. The app eliminates the need for data entry, making the process convenient, quick and secure. Caretaker Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha led the official launch of the digital identity verification and facial recognition system. The Department of Provincial Administration developed the app to facilitate access to services from public or private sectors requiring identity confirmation. 44 state agencies have so far adopted the system, and over 380,000 people have registered to use its services. Gen Prayut reaffirmed the government’s determination to transition Thailand into a digital society in line with its 4.0 policy. He emphasized that digital technology enhances the public service capacity of state agencies, making them more accessible while also reducing costs. He added that he hoped the app would be used to its maximum potential. Since its inception in 2019, the ThaID project has achieved significant milestones. The premier has called on all sides to collaborate and further develop the project into a comprehensive state service system that instills confidence and improves the image of the Thai government, while ultimately enhancing citizens’ quality of life. The Department of Provincial Administration also highlighted the need to raise public awareness about the ThaID app across all 878 districts and 76 provinces. This initiative includes promoting the download and usage of the app, especially among the younger generation, to maximize its benefits for every family. #news Source: https://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG230703102653305 -- © Copyright NNT 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

From Wikipedia: Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] so I don't understand your point. It actually looks like the right wingers are trying to steal another word that describes them and redefine it. Like fake news, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puccini Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Can the ThaID app also be used for the registration of the pink ID card for foreigners?

It probably depends on how it's used and if you can trust those overseeing it. If you can't then it's not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
