Yesterday my wife was helping some Burmese in Ranong get their CI. Registering as Myanmar citizens. They work for a friend who's too lazy to do it himself

One a muslim, just had identity noted as muslim born in Myanmar. Anyone know what it means? His wife has a normal card. He was refused registration, and therefore a work permit. He does have a temporary passport, that all the legal workers have.

You'll only get guesses to a question like this. I suspect that somewhere on the card is noted that he comes from Rakhine State and as such doesn't have full Myanmar citizen rights. (Rohingya issue).

I know that other Muslim Myanmar citizens have been able to register.

Thai officials are very careful not to leave themselves open to accusations of racism but they do have diectives to follow.

Any update on this?

 

They've gone home to try and sort it out. His wife's Bhuddist, but their son has an issue as she hasn't registered his birth back there. From what my Mrs says, it's not uncommon.

Just to add, they were told at the CI check if they paid 7000 Baht each. Then they would get the CI requirement. lol.
