Thai Army after 30 years of age?

[zerokewl88]

Hi,

 

I did try to reply to an existing post (see below), but it is now closed for further comments so am bringing this back up.

 

I am was born in June 1988,  so am just over 30 year of age. In the forum post mentioned below, a person has stated that after 30 years of age, that someone that has obtained their Thai Passport will be exempt from military service when going back to live in Thailand. I am in the process of obtaining my Thai passport and planning to move to Thailand and would like to know if anyone has a legal site / document somewhere on the internet that states clearly the age requirements for serving military conscription in Thailand or any further information that states i have to go into military service.

 

Thank you.

It is certainly is written that after the age of 30 you will not be subject to military service. It has been discussed numerous times on the forum.

But its best to obtain the exemption from military service form at the local district, there should be a military department that handles it. I don't know what its called in Thai, but I got it done. I had a police friend accompany me because the first time I went, the military folks did not want to write up the exempt form for me.

Thanks Mike, sorry for the delayed response. I ended up finding out and was also suggested to do the same thing by a someone that was used to be the Consulate General for Thailand in the embassy of my old country that i lived in. He told me to go to my town military Amphur and request a exemption certificate as well. I will ask my uncles to go with me in case there is any issues like you have also mentioned.

 

Thanks.
