Investigation into TH-AI Passport Project Continues

Thai politician 'Teng' confirms the ongoing investigation into the TH-AI Passport project, citing concerns over potential specification locking.

According to a report by Matichon Online on August 21, 2026, the politician known as 'Teng' has reaffirmed his commitment to continue the investigation into the TH-AI Passport project. The inquiry focuses on allegations that the project's Terms of Reference (TOR) may have been designed to favor specific vendors, a practice commonly referred to as 'specification locking.'

For residents and travelers, this development is significant as it concerns the digital infrastructure used for identity verification. 'Teng' has advised the public to exercise caution and maintain awareness before registering for the service, specifically noting that the current TOR involves the collection and verification of user identity data.

As the investigation proceeds, several key details remain to be confirmed. It is not yet clear what specific evidence has been uncovered regarding the procurement process or whether the project will face suspension or modification. Furthermore, the long-term implications for users who have already registered or intend to register remain uncertain. SawaLife will continue to monitor official updates regarding the status of the TH-AI Passport system and any potential changes to its operational requirements.
