  1. @mikeymike100 care to comment or admit your post was misinformation?
  2. That Israeli will never give up.
  3. 😂 No they haven't. Nice avoidance. Looks like @mikeymike100 is avoiding apologising being wrong too. Goodbye. From the horse's mouth re PR and voting, WPs etc
  4. You've made a silly mistake, posting a law firms website thinking it's official. Have the integrity to apologise 😔 Also, there is nothing in the website you linked that says there is a limit by nationality for citizenship. You frankly haven't a clue what you're talking about. For citizenship all you need to do is write your name in Thai, absolutely no other written requirements. You can't provide any evidence as you are wrong.
  5. So you have PR and have to renew re-entry visa every year ? So you still need a WP? So you vote in local elections? So you can buy land that those without PR can't? I've no idea where @mikeymike100 is getting this misinformation from or his motive for spreading it.
  6. On another thread one poster says if you have PR you can vote in local elections, buy land, don't need a Work Permit, can work any job. Is this nonsense?
  7. Oh, you mean like the one you linked 😂 😂 😂 https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/permanent-residence-thailand
  8. Show me a website that says there is limit to citizenship applications. 2022 amendment to what?
  9. Unbelievable. What you have copied, in an effort to appear knowledge is total BS. You need a WP to work if you have PR and the jobs are restricted.
  10. Unbelievable, you've absolutely no idea. Foreigners with PR can NOT vote in local elections. https://www.baanjomyut.com/library/law/214_5.html? https://www.naewna.com/politic/columnist/54281 The fact that foreign residents are included in the population registry (ทะเบียนราษฎร์) does not translate into voting rights — having one’s name on the registry for population counts does not mean the right to vote According to the Municipal Election Act (พ.ร.บ. การเลือกตั้งสมาชิกสภาท้องถิ่นหรือผู้บริหารท้องถิ่น), a person must have Thai nationality to be eligible to vote in local elections. https://www.baanjomyut.com/library/law/214_5.html?
  11. There is no limit. If you are married to a Thai wife/husband you don't need to read,write, or speak Thai after 2008 Nationality Law amendment. Oh, also no singing required.
  12. No, Chef Ali Ahmed Aslam of the Shish Mahal restaurant in Glasgow claimed he created it in the 1970s after a customer said their chicken tikka was too dry — so he improvised by adding a creamy tomato-yogurt sauce.
  13. I don't really know why I'm educating you after your attempt to deride me. But, again you need to educate yourself. Reread what I wrote, it really isn't hard to understand. I've a friend who is naturalized and he can't speak any conversational Thai nor read/ write. You are living pre 2008. That P7 Thai exam was scrapped decades ago. Yes, you can get 15 points if you speak good Thai, get 10 points for a multiple choice test that has very simple questions like when is father's day. But you can get 0 and still reach the required 50 points.
  14. TRUE. Stop lying FFS. A foreigner who is married to a Thai must earn 40k + a month. I was not talking about PR, and well you know it. I suggest you educate yourself in the citizenship process as you are way off the mark. https://thaicitizenship.com/thai-citizenship-application-process/
  15. There is no limit for Thai citizenship, stip making things up and trying to squirm out of giving misinformation. Thai citizenship does not have a statutory quota. The Ministry of Interior has discretion, yes, but that is not the same as a legally defined numerical limit. Citing approval rates from 22 years ago, 2003 (10 out of 48) doesn’t demonstrate a quota - only that the process is selective and slow. And that changed a lot with amend to the law in 2008. The fact that approvals are low in practice does not turn the system into a quota-limited one. Claiming that citizenship is “rationed” is rhetorical, not legal, and conflates bureaucracy with hard limits.
  16. I conflated nothing, reread my post, you have a problem admitting errors.
  17. No time to reply to so your errors but PR cost was raised by Taksins administration re 2003. It was I think 9,000 if single and 19,000 if married to local. It was changed to about 90,000 and 190,000 baht. Citizenship 5,500 baht, 5,000 to charity and 80,000 to show in bank.
  18. You need to update your knowledge. You, or was it Mikeymike, said they're was a quota per country per year for citizenship , wrong. I know I'm speaking of two different things. PR you need to earn over 80k, might be 100 k now. I know there is a language requirements for PR, never said they're wasn't. For citizenship you don't need to sing the anthems, if you're married to a Thai https://thaicitizenship.com/
  19. Creditable record How on earth can you support such evil? UNICEF said on Tuesday essential items including syringes to vaccinate children and bottles for baby formula are being denied entry into Gaza by Israel, preventing aid agencies from reaching those in need in the war-devastated territory. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/unicef-says-israel-blocking-one-million-syringes-needed-vaccinate-gaza-children-2025-11-11/
  20. Erm, Hamas are simply freedom fighters. Israel abuse, Apartheid, occupation, blockade, harassment, violence, humiliation, land theft, etc brought this disaster to the people of Gaza. You are easily fooled by Israeli propaganda.
  21. From above post. Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is that they are denying. I've never understood why atheists get so upset about something they don't understand.
  22. More inhumane cruelty. Israel blocking one million syringes needed to vaccinate Gaza children https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/unicef-says-israel-blocking-one-million-syringes-needed-vaccinate-gaza-children-2025-11-11/
  23. What you quoted is 100% correct. Which part do you disagree with?
