4 services that all groups of foreigners can use via online channels on the website are as follows:
1. Digital services for tourists: upgrading basic services for inbound and outbound travel for all groups of foreigners and services for tourists through Entry Thailand so that transactions can be made.
2. Digital services for investors and business people: Upgrading services through the BOI website by connecting information between departments to facilitate investors and business people.
3. Digital Services for Workers: Upgrading services through the Department of Employment website to facilitate foreign workers in Thailand to conduct online transactions.
4. Information Service Portal: a service information portal for foreigners that collects information for all groups of foreigners to cover the needs of all target groups, both long-term residents and students.
