[snoop1130]

 

Thailand‘s Department of Consular Affairs has introduced biometric e-passports and AI-powered consular applications.

 

Below is a list of the e-services that the Department of Consular Affairs have launched:

 

1. E-passports. The star of the show is the e-passport, boasting biometrics galore – facial images, fingerprints, and iris scans, all in line with international standards.
2. E-visa. With an online system already rocking 38 offices in 23 countries, it is expanding to 11 more offices across 9 countries. The application also features 15 languages.
3. E-legislation. The e-legalisation system not only certifies documents electronically but also uses hologram stickers to fend off any forgery mischief.
4. E-help. The E-help system lets users request assistance online during global disasters or violent situations, ensuring a swift response from the authorities.
5. E-complaint. The E-complaint system links directly to the government’s complaint centre, promising speedy resolutions to a myriad of issues.

E-passports have been issued in Thailand since 2005, but I don't suppose The Thaiger cares about details like that.
