Thailand's 2025 Welfare Card Registration: Status Check and Next Steps

Thailand's 2025 State Welfare Card program allows existing cardholders to register and confirm their eligibility between June 4-21, 2025. Beneficiaries can independently check their registration status through the "Tharoad" mobile application or the program's official website. The government will announce qualification verification results on July 17, 2025, via multiple channels including the Pao Tang app, Tharoad app, the program website, and five designated banks.

Registration status checks can be performed on the welfare program website (welfare.mof.go.th) by selecting the status verification menu, authenticating via the ThaiD application or entering identification number and date of birth. Three possible statuses may appear: successful registration confirmation (requiring no further action), data discrepancies flagged for review, or pending verification status (requiring recheck the following day). For minor data entry errors where the ID number is correct, the government has ruled that registration remains valid without requiring corrections.

Following the July 17 results announcement, existing cardholders approved for benefits can continue using their welfare card without additional verification. New cardholders or those using proxy arrangements must complete e-KYC (electronic Know-Your-Customer) verification starting July 17 through either the Pao Tang app (G-Wallet) or at five participating banks—Bank of Thailand, BAAC, Government Savings Bank, BAHT Bank, and Thai Credit Bank. The verification period at Bank of Thailand runs through January 12, 2026, while other banks accept verifications through October 14, 2025.

Applicants rejected based on qualification criteria can appeal within 15 days of the results announcement (by July 31, 2025) through the Pao Tang app, Tharoad app, the program website, or the five participating banks. Appeal documents can be modified until August 16, 2025, with appeal results announced on September 14, 2025. New applicants and those who fell through eligibility cracks should contact their local village headman, community leaders, district, or provincial administrative offices to have their data entered into the verification system.
