What precautions should I take if a Visa Agent, realtor, or Insurance agent requests photos of my passport in Thailand?

It's common practice in Thailand for agents and businesses to request copies of your passport. Many establishments, such as hotels and banks, routinely handle passport information. If you are uncomfortable providing your passport, consider carrying extra copies to share instead. Always ensure that the copies are returned, and never allow anyone to keep your original documents. Trust your instinct and use common sense when sharing personal information.
