Is the Thai Pass website secure for personal information?

Question

Went to the website to start the Thai Pass process and got this as a popup.

tp.consular.go.th  - this is the correct site isn't it?? I got there from a link on the Thai embassy site.

If that's how secure the site is, what am I letting myself in for by putting all my details in there?

Wish we could go back to the good old days of filling a form in 20 minutes before landing :)

A user expressed concerns about the security of the Thai Pass website (tp.consular.go.th) after encountering a pop-up warning. They question the safety of entering personal information on the site, which is linked from the Thai embassy's website. Commenters confirm it is the correct site but mention past hacking incidents affecting the Thai Pass system. They advise caution since personal data is vulnerable, and note that phishing attempts have increased after submitting details to the site. The conversation touches on frustrations with the visa application process and the associated paperwork.

I landed on the same pop-up, I closed the site and opened it again. Alas, I got into the same pop-up. I just thought maybe the site could trace my IP address. My partner might have used my laptop to apply for the same Thai Pass. So I just ignored and closed the pop-up message. Behind is the application page. Took at least 5mins to finish the process. Have to convert PDF files to JPEG. But I got my pass in 2hrs.

I sent the PDF files to my phone then took screenshots and sent back to my computer

Got it all done last night. Don't know who's getting through that lot in five minutes but it took me a good hour - converting PDFs into JPGs is a headache on its own.

It was was approved at 4.35 this morning so 6 hours or so. Quite impressed with that.

At 3.09, before the pass was approved, I got a phishing email asking for all sorts of details. The hackers/spammers seem to have live data, as soon as it goes into the Thai Pass system it goes into the phishing/spamming system.

Bonkers.

You still got to fill the form in before landing as well! 😂

You still get to fill out that stupid little form 20 minutes before landing.  Thailand adds paperwork, never reduces paperwork.

It's the correct site. Just assume any Thai website you put your info into will be compromised at some point. It's happened to pretty much every major system from immigration to Thailand Pass over the last 2 years.

Scroll down to the English part. The Thaipass system has been hacked multiple times. Fortunately from what we know, only Emails have been compromised though, no other personal information.

Strange I just did mine and the wife's and no spam. This is our second round. All the best
