Not according to the Thai Constitution. (2017).

Correct. This page may be more to your situation. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-citizenship-when-born-overseas/

But there has never been any penalty imposed for not revoking Thai nationality in such instances. That section of the Nationality is overshadowed by the 2017 Thai Constitutional Act. Section 39 states; Section 39. No person of Thai nationality shall be deported or prohibited from entering the Kingdom. The revocation of Thai nationality acquired by birth shall not be permitted. https://cdc.parliament.go.th/draftconstitution2/download/article/article_20180829093502.pdf So a Thai couldn't revoke his nationality even if he wanted to.

That is not a commercial website. Commercial websites are the online presence of businesses with the clear objective of promoting products and enhancing visitor awareness. Their primary goal is to boost sales for the associated brand, and this objective is reflected in both their content and design.

These policies were originally introduced for the applicants of Non Imm 0-A visas (long stay visas) where medical health Insurance was mandatory and then for annual extensions of stay from a Non Imm O-A. Health Insurance is not mandatory for other standard visa types, nor extensions of stay from those visa types. Regardless, it covers the person named in the policy. Don't know which plan you took, or what premium you paid, but this is the LMG link. https://www.lmginsurance.co.th/en/long-stay-visa-plus LMG have a good reputation. Non B, working presumably, then why are you not enrolled in the Social security scheme?

What does the visa type matter, it covers you, not your visa.

Available once for each and every entry.

That really depends on your long term plans. Do you intend to stay in Thailand now, or return to your home Country and visit regularly?

What you're describing would be a gangster's paradise. A new name and ID with no trace of the old name and ID. You married the invisible woman. 😉

It isn't possible, a Thais ID number never changes for any reason. Could you imagine the consequences if any Thai could simply visit an Amphoe, change their name, obtain new ID and there was no record of it. If the Thai ID number is the same as on her TB, then the changes were recorded. I'm sorry, but the tale just doesn't add up. Even if for any reason the Amphoe 'forgot' to issue the certificate, or your wife misplaced it, there would still be a record on the system, which can be located through her ID number.

Not ID number, that never changes from being issued. The Thai ID number on her old ID card and new will be the same.

@BaanOz The Thai ID number never changes, even if changing her name. If the Amphoe states they have no record of the name change, then they must still have her registered in her aunts surname! How then can she have an ID card in her Mother's name, unless she officially changed her name.

Check! They quite often just amend the name in the Tabien Baan, rather than issuing a new book. That could be your lead, as it will be initialled by the registrar that made the changes. I've never known an Amphoe not issue a certificate in these situations, not to say there's never a first. It could have been left on the counter instead of being handed over, but the record should be on the system. It's all part of the record of Thai population census.

OK, so it was followed through by amending her name in the TB, as should be the case. Now, was her name merely amended in the existing TB or did they issue a new TB? Was this in Australia or Thailand? Who and where was her new ID card issued? There will be, it's just finding it.

They issued a new ID with a new surname. Same, same, there is a record of this event, and she would have been issued a certificate noting the change. It would be highly irregular for the Amphoe just to issue a new ID card without issuing a notice of some kind. My wife suggests she returns to the Amphoe that issued her new ID card to resolve the situation. They will have a record on their system. Curiosity, but by what name is she registered on a Tabien Baan, her aunt/uncle or her Mothers.

Understood. As above, to make a change to a new surname is an official procedure, registered on the system and a certificate issued noting the change of name as well as issuing a new ID card reflecting the name change. The marriage certificate and registration states her previous surname. After we married, the wife took my surname. They issued a certificate of name change, changed the name in her Tabien Baan and issued a new ID card. When we apply for an extension based on Thai spouse, her surname on her ID is the same as mine. However, on the marriage certificate it is her previous surname. The certificate of name change confirms to Immigration it is the same person.

As, I suspected, she changed her surname after you married. She therefore would have been issued a certificate of name change as posted above by @brianthainess Possible she doesn't remember and has misplaced it. Go to the Provincial Amphoe, and they should be able to trace the change of surname.

Not trying to be arrogant at all, just precise. Sorry, that 'wife' link doesn't open for me, so I couldn't view it. I didn't take offence, neither should you, the importance surely is to give the correct information. The OP's issue as it's now established is with the surname on his wife's ID card. Accept my apologies if in any way I offended you.

What ID did she use when you married? It sounds as though whatever ID card she used to get married (uncle/aunty surname or Mother's surname) she then changed her name to the other after marriage, otherwise the ID on her card and on the marriage certificate would match. She would have been issued a 'certificate of name change' at that point, and probably not realising its importance not kept it safe. Any Amphoe should be able to trace that change in name, but they cannot issue another 'certificate' but can issue a notice confirming the registration of the name change.

No completed TM 7's. No passport photos. Just a copy of the passport, not all the pages. No updated Kor Ror 2. No photos in and around the house. No map. 2 sets of copies. You have a very lenient Immigration office then. 🤩

No, I read the document checklist, which omits half the required documents and only list documents for ID and financials. Obviously you don't apply based on Thai spouse. If you'd taken the time or made an effort to open the link posted by @BaanOz, you'd see I made a similar comment in that topic, then went on to post a comprehensive list of the required documents.

Do you have evidence of your daughter being overseas? Obviously the timing is bad and in future you need to bear in mind your daughter should theoretically accompany you. Interested to know what the 'document' issue is?

No idea why you replied to my post. I was informing, not asking. The link you posted is for the criteria, (financial requirements) not the document checklist.

The list in that topic from the wall in CM IO is for the initial Non O if you entered TV or VE. It is not for the 1-year permit of stay if you already obtained the Non O previously.

She just needs to let the local Amphoe know she wants to take your surname. They'll issue an official 'certificate of name change' as well as issuing a new ID card and changing her name in any Tabien Baan she's on.
