No it doesn't. You're kids are fine. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-dual-citizenship/

None of these cards denote Thai citizenship. They are simply ID cards for different categories of people. It may be that she was actually eligble for both. The Pink ID card is for migrant labourers from neighbouring countries. Anyone (not just companies) including Thai and foreign individuals can legally employ Burmese, Lao and Cambodian citizens on this. Typically they are used for domestic help, building and construction as well as factory and menial labour. All legit. All fairly straight forward to get with a legal sponsor and the help of an agent to navigate the process. The last 2 years generally and need to be renewed but the holder can work in Thailand, get healthcare and open bank accounts etc. The white card sounds like a card typically given to hill tribes or ethnic minorities, often with links to myanmar. They are quite restrictive, don't let you do much and normally don't let you move out of the district which issued them and normally don't let you work.

It is strange that they are asking for it. Maybe ask if they can waive it given it isn't a requirement? In any case, it is possible to do it from Thailand, however all that will happen is that they will liase with the Thai embassy in Finland. But at least you'll be here to to the Kor Ror 22. Not sure if that will require your father though to be present too. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-citizenship-when-born-overseas/

Pre-covid Thai cars weren't able to enter at Poipet. The only two entry points were O'Smech/Chong Jom in the north and Trat way down south. The Northern one was the easiest paperwork wise (ie there was none) where as on the Cambodian side in Trat you had to pay per day you were there with your vehicle and they'd take you Thai export papers and return them to make you come back via that checkpoint. You can re-enter Thailand via any checkpoint however.

By the sounds of it, she won't be able to get her passport renewed if she is under 20. As others have said, she'll need to have a house registration, ID card and parents in attendance to do some or all of these things at that age. This is a good article floating around the internet. The second half in particular gives you an idea of that is needed to get registered in Thailand for Thai citizens born outside of Thailand. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-citizenship-when-born-overseas/

Hi crew, Pre-covid this border point was one of the only places where you could take a Thai car into Cambodia with little issue. Just wondering, now things have opened up again, do people know if Thai cars are once again allowed to be taken into Cambodia here? Any recent reports would be most welcome.

Many here are over complicating things. Here’s a good article on how thai dual citizens can travel https://www.thaicitizenship.com/traveling-as-a-dual-citizen/

- Denmark for a long time didn't allow dual citizenship. Its highly likely she would have had to relinquish her Thai citizenship before she got her Danish passport. She would have renounced it under section 13 of the (Thai) nationality act, and that renunciation would have been published in the royal gazette. http://web.krisdika.go.th/data/document/ext810/810050_0001.pdf - It is very possible for her to resume her Thai nationality under section 23 of the same act. She will need to apply for this via the police special branch in Bangkok who should be able to give her the correct information on how to do it. There is a process, it will take time, but its entirely within her rights to do so. - In the meantime, under immigration order 327/2557, section 2.23 states that "In the case of a person who used to have Thai nationality or whose parent is or was of Thai nationality visiting relatives or returning to his or her original homeland" they can apply for a special non-immigrant visa which will effectively allow her to stay here on her Danish passport while her Thai citizenship is reinstated. There is a good article about that here: www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-ancestry-visas - until her thai citizenship is reinstated however, it is likely she will remain outside the Thai social security safety net.

Though you asked about PR, as others have said, a foreign woman married to a Thai husband can apply after three years of marriage. All those married to Thai's can effectively skip PR and go straight for citizenship, though there are different rules surrounding foreign husbands vs foreign wives married to Thai spouses There is a very informative blog on this. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-citizenship-based-on-marriage-to-a-thai-husband/ There is also a related facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/2116997095087609/

To my count, you’ve got little more than a month to apply for your SS health coverage before all rights to it are lost forever. Do yourself a favour, go down to the office and tell them you wants to continue the 432 per month coverage as is your right under Section 39 of the Social Security act. https://www.mol.go.th/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/07/social_security_act_2533_sso_1.pdf Don’t leave until you they have signed you up!!!! For older expats retired in thailand it is the ultimate safety net and ultimate bargain.

US and Canada aren’t full participants in the APEC travel card programme. As such APEC card holders from these counties don’t get the additional days other nationalities do, only they right to use the express queue.

If you’ve been here long enough and earn 80k per month for the past three years - the PR would be a much better option than the elite.

Does anyone have any experience changing a thai wife’s surname to her married western name? what documents would be needed by the district office?
