Good then they can clear out the Nigerians from the BKK area then

Like they did two days ago in Sukhumvit 93??? Was wondering since the first day I arrived in this area about the high numbers of nigerians. After two days I knew what they were doing. Took the police 3 years to find out. Now they have arrested a 30 years old one with 10 bags of cocain! Shit, but still see many of them around so ... there is a lot of work left.

So how much hope do we have that they will take action or better when they will take?

The non-stop "airport link", which covers 28 kilometres (17 miles) and cost 25.9 billion baht (800 million dollars)

Isn't that a little pricy?

it includes Tea Money.

Haha, good one but it is sooo true for everything in Thailand.

Btw. how can I use the fast one when I live at On Nut? Wanna try it this weekend just for fun.

Hehe, I thought about the visa too for Germany but I thought they wouldn't issue me one if they know I am a German. That's kind of funny

Thanks for your responses and wish you all the best!

Sure Maestro, I have nothing to hide.

As I wrote before, I am a lug krueng. So my mom is Thai and my dad is German. That means as far as I know that I am Thai since the day I was born. I went to the embassy in Germany where I got my Thai birth certification. Than entered Thailand with my German PPT and went to the registration office where I got my entry into my moms home register and the ID. This is just a short summary coz in real it took 6 months.

Even the registration office knew about my German nationality and asked when I am going to pick up my ID. (They do not have them anymore coz they have a problem with the new chip so I just got this yellow paper)

Hope this could help you.

Thanks from my side.

Why wouldn't I be able to work? I have my Thai ID. When this is really not going to work, what kind of other options would I have.

Thanks

I think you are making it difficult for yourself. Just do a border run - out on German, in with Thai. If they ask why no exit stamp, show your other passport and tell them you just reeived your Thai citizenship and had to exit and re-enter. No problem. Then as a Thai you are free to do what anyother Thai does legally here.

While you are on a foreign passport/visa, myou are here as a foreigner (even if you are Thai) - the laws are too vague to specify a rare case such as yours, so do the easy thing - why make life hard?c

Hey wolf, so far thanks a lot for the strong support.

Yeah I will do as you are suggesting, and will do it with a visarun tour group so that I will be easier coz they won't ask many questions than.

But what do you suggest on the case when I will leave next year to go back to Germany to visit my family there? I mean don't they ask when I come back for example and they see my bordingpass and I do not have a visa in it? This is the last point where I am not sure how do to it.

Thanks again for your time and efforts.

Still wondering which different it would make when I just leave next year with my Thai PPT and not doing this visa run?

Hi , germany does not allow residents born in germany to have twin nationalities, a few years ago there was the case of peter schubert, emigrated to australia , had to give up his german nationality to be come australian, 7 years along the line he had to return to germany to take over the family business, had a work visa for germany denied , know he has to do visa runs in the country of his birth, and now it seems he is having difficulty getting back into australia :jap:

I think you don't get it right

He was born as a German, not half German, half Austrailan.

In my case I was born as a German/Thai and have had the right since my first day. When I would get an Australian citizen, than I would have to give up my German one. That is right

Why wouldn't I be able to work? I have my Thai ID. When this is really not going to work, what kind of other options would I have.

Thanks

How long does this take? and would it affect me in any way? Would I be still able to work here as a Thai than? Would I have to extend it ever 3 month or is just one visit enough?

Thanks so far

You just explain them why. Many peope do have two passports and some do get questioned by immigration, but in the end ask for a superiour and there wil be no problem.

so does it make a diffrent whether I leave now with the german ppt to avoid an overstay or can I leave next year with "overstay" but with the Thai ppt?

Ok, after I went through the whole thread which the nice admin gave me --- http://www.thaivisa....al-nationality/

I am kind of scared.

My Thai PPT is issued in BKK when I leave now to cambodia for example or even Germany just to get the exit stamp. When I go back or fly back and would like to pass the immigration they will look for the exit stamp in the Thai PPT.

And when I leave for Germany on my Thai PPT they could ask me for my visa or could assume I have a German PPT and call the special branch to inform them I have two nationalities.

What about his than?

btw. Why do you know so much about this kind of stuff?

I am not sure where I wanna spend my life right now. I was born in Germany but spend a lot of time here and even went to the Thai school. I am one of the many lug kruengs and we getting more and more. I feel like a Thai and I feel like a German person too who likes both places coz he is a lug krueng. Why do they make it so difficult for us. We do no harm and we couldn't choose to be just a German or just a Thai son/daugher.

cheers

Luckes, please read this post and you will realise that Thai immigration attaches great importance to matching each entry stamp with an exit stamp. A German arrives and gets an entry stamp. When he leaves, the exit stamp must go in the same passport. If he gets a new passport whilst in Thailand, he must go to the immigration office to get the entry stamp in his old passport transferred to the new passport.

A Thai leaves Thailand and gets an exit stamp. On his return to Thailand, the entry stamp must go in the same passport. If he loses his passport whilst abroad, he must have documentation to prove this. If he gets a new Thai passport outside Thailand, he must present both his old and new passport to the immigration officer on his return.

You arrived in Thailand with your German passport and therefore must leave Thailand with the same passport. You now have a Thai passport issued in Thailand and when you arrive in Thailand with it the next time it will not have a Thai exit stamp and chances are that the Thai immigration officer will question you about it.

Maestro

But when I will never use the German PPT again here in THailand, why do I have to pay overstay when I am a Thai already. In real, I don't wanna go out again. Did it for a couple of years and it's a waste of time and money.

Oh and what about this than? You all are telling me it is allowed and what does that mean than?

Case

Individual who enter the kingdom with foreign passport and depart with Thai passport.

How do Immigration officers handle?

Pratice

Immigration officers do as follows.

1. Only give a permit to the passport that was used to enter into the kingdom. Under the Thailand's Nationality Act.

2. For Thai whose have two nationality, do report this matter to Special Branch then to Department of Interior and to be annouced in the Goverment Gazette.

3. For individual who enter into the kingdom with foreign passport then changed nationality to Thai. If he/she still use that foreign passport, the officer make a report to Special Branch to revoke Thai nationality.

so is it now ok or not so confusing

Germany does not accept any double citicenship for Germans. As soon as they recocnise that you hold two passports of different countries and one is a German, you'll have to choose one of them. As a German citizen you'll not be allowed to have another citizenship. In former times it was possible for some people who qualified, but not anymore nowadays.

It would be interesting to me were you got this from.

It depends, when you were born as German/Thai than you have the right of being a dual citizen. I was working at the immigration in Germany and I saw many people with German/American, German/Russian Ptt's for example.

But when you are a American/Thai and want to become German you have to drop both nationalities before becoming German.

Thanks for all you nice posts! did help a lot.

I forgot to mention that the person I spoke to at the Immigration told me that this is a new law that no one is allowed to hold dual citizenships when one of them is a Thai. Not even US PPT's. I asked the immigration officer he send me to a person in charge of this kind of things. Dunno whether he just didn't like my question or didn't like me

Hi guys,

need some advice on a issue I have right now.

1.

I am over 21 years old and just got my Thai ID. I entered Thailand with the German PPT. I will visit my family next year.

The Immigration Bureau in BKK told me I am not allowed to hold 2 PPT's as a Thai. Others are telling me it is allowed.

2.

Can I just leave from the airport with my Thai PPT and enter Germany with the German one and when I leave Germany on the German and enter Thailand on the Thai PPT? Will they ask why I do not have a visa for Germany? Coz they told me it is not allowed to hold two PPT's. Will they take the Thai PTT away? Or is there another way I should work this out? Get a one year visa with the German PPT for example through the houseregister?

3.

Are they any statements from offical side regarding this issue? Reliable source? Is everything up to date or are they any changes?

More informations:

What I have:

ID

Houseregister

ID Number

Thai PPT

German PPT

Thanks a lot in advance.

cheers
