Teee 93 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Stop all the moaning about this. They already use it at the Airports....so if you think its a bad thing to use for Bank Accounts because you are worried they will sell your data....maybe its sold already via Immigration. If you dont like they way Thailand is run with certain rules...then leave and find somewhere else to live and pay for cheap girls to keep you company in your lonely lives Link to post Share on other sites

Also, watch out for more difficulties in opening a simple savings account as a foreigner. In China, in many shops where they sell SIM cards, you, as a foreigner, cannot even buy one, cause they need a Chinese ID card and -number, so a foreign passport won't 'qualify'. If they made a system in Thailand 'tailor-made for only Thai ID cards', then good luck opening a bank account as a foreigner in the future... Link to post Share on other sites

The guy can't even buy a train ticket anymore without relying on his Chinese wife. They also have a rating system for foreigners. Link to post Share on other sites
Matzzon 13,663 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Will that make it easier or harder to open a bank account? Link to post Share on other sites
alant 2,555 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I can see it now. scan your fingerprint, printer prints out 5 copies, manually stamp each copy with signing box and then sign in the box, retina scan, print out 5 copies, manually stamp signing box, sign in box. Copy passport (all pages) copy passbook, fill in application form, 5 copies, sign all copies.......... Link to post Share on other sites

Because it will be better to have a system that isn’t maintained and doesn’t work when you really need it to. Plus, someone is going to make a lot of money putting these in.

But a bank account is another beast. Link to post Share on other sites
