•Payment terms were amended to a Pay Per Active User model to increase government budget efficiency.
•The project implements data masking and strict contractual bans against AI providers using user data to train their own models.
•Full system operation is scheduled for August 31, 2026, transitioning from a .net to a .go.th domain.

•The TH-AI Passport project opened pre-registration on August 19, 2026, and will officially launch on August 31, 2026.
•The launch was delayed by over one and a half months because the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society had to amend the original contract based on various opinions.
•The Office of the National Digital Economy and Society Commission signed the amended contract on August 18, 2026, following a review by the Office of the Attorney General.
•The payment model was changed to Pay Per Active User, requiring the contractor to deliver 5,000,000 user rights before payment can be disbursed.
•Pachara Anantasilp stated that user prompts are processed by foreign AI models because Thai AI capacity cannot yet compete with global providers.
•The TH-AI Passport system uses data masking to hide personal or sensitive information before prompts are sent to AI providers.
•As of 13:30 on August 21, 2026, there are 1,132,496 people registered for the project.
•Users who register after November 30, 2026, will start at the Beginner level and must earn 100 points to reach the Innovator level.
