Thanks for the detailed explanation @Arkady I hope this answers your concerns regarding Thai citizenship/naturalization certificate - @samran @rsskga and @kiwiaussie

@onthemoon I thought so. The software sees the 13-digit number and mistakenly "thinks" that I am Thai. The software people may have never heard of foreigners having 13-digit ID numbers. - Correct But now my other question comes up again: How do you transfer money home once you have your Thai citizenship? In my case ,my Thai wife transfers to my account abroad- never a problem If you are unmarried or have a non Thai wife- Not sure but did you try Western Union ?

Its correct. Thais cannot transfer to their own account abroad. This is the rule set by B.O.T , not an error.

One time I had to apply for a Japanese Business Visa on my non Thai PP. I truthfully declared my Thai citizenship. That time the vfs did not say anything, next day got a call from the Embassy that they require my Thai citizenship certificate. I had to visit the Embassy again and present my original Thai citz certificate, they wouldn't even look at ratcha kitcha. What would you or your wife do in such a situation? or what will any female do in this situation?

Nope. Foreigners with Thai Permanent Residence Book, also get registered in the Blue Tabien Baan.

1. A valid work permit + THB 50,000/- monthly salary from a Thai Co (unsecured card) 2. Open a Gold Banking account with Kasikorn/ SCB minimum balance 2 Mill THB (unsecured card) 3. Make an FD of 40,000 thb and above and get it (secured credit card) All banks offer credit card to non Thais except Government Savings Bank. Hope this helps

Post your concerns here -

I hope that this month may have an MOI interview Good luck to all waiting

Can anyone guide me to the link or Thai Gov order where it says that Thai PR holders need a Work Permit to work ? No guesses or jokes. Plz post if you have real link or info with evidence.

So in this case - the buyer needs : - Passport copy of the seller - copy of visa - blue book registration of the car (original) Buyers passport copy with visa and Original Residence certificate from Immigration Office or your respective embassy in Bangkok Valid Thai Drivers Licence ( Original + 1 copy)

No can do, na krab

Sure. But Very expensive to service and non availability of spare parts.

Whats your max budget?

Females dont need to change/reserve name. Reason - They are adopting their Husbands Thai nationality, its not Naturalization as we know. For this very reason they(females) are not provided a Certificate of Naturalization, only a letter stating that they have been allowed to convert their nationality into Thai + Certified RG copies. Only foreign men Naturalize as Thai citizen as per the Thai law. Having no naturalization certificate may prove to be a problem later in life, but thats how it is.

Does your Work Permit contain address?

I am now sure that they (MOI) are 100 % Blatant Liars. My friend has been told that he will be called for MOI interview around Feb 2024, he applied in March 2022. File received by MOI - Oct 2022. They told your friend from 2019 batch the same thing and the same thing to @onthemoon Wow

I said that in a light mood humor. The fee for Thai citizenship is 5100/- thb currently, nothing extra apart from that.

@onthemoon is waiting from April 2020, 3yrs + wait She has just applied this year, at this rate you can imagine when she may be called for an MOI interview !

This quick pace ends as soon as your file reaches MOI. Currently 2020 candidate are being called so almost a 3 yrs wait to get an interview with MOI

This is absolutely correct, I was told the same thing by a trusted source inside MOI

As I remember from your earlier posts your wife had cancer, thats why she was exempted. No exemption for divorcees

No difference in processing times. If you apply on the basis of married to a Thai, your wife must be with you during the MOI interview. If not, consider it cancelled

Those do not cover the battery pack. You may want to read the fine print again. If you damage the battery in an unfortunate accident or it catches fire etc, the cheaper insurance does NOT cover it. New battery pack costs approx 1.33 Mill THB, which will have to be paid in cash.
