This is only one benefit, they're are many more, like being able to own land. For a 5,000 baht fee, totally worth getting Thai citizenship. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Without prying, how did you qualify? Just paid 5000 THB? Sounds a great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a guy I know that claims he got Thai Citizenship already, but I believe he is not really truth ful. I wanted to verify if I can make sure he does not lie to me by finding his and or his brothers name there. Just ask to see his Thai ID card. The ID number is easily checked.

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted February 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2023 My daughter is a Thai national. Born and raised here. Fluent in Thai, it is her first language. She has however inherited my skin colour, eye colour and hair colour - she looks western although she is much prettier than me, which will come as a relief to any that may know me! Virtually any interaction with officialdom, be it Amphur, Hospital, opening a bank account, whatever, goes through the phase of the desk official refusing to believe that she is Thai, and referring her case to higher authority. Sometimes the "consideration" can take several days, replacing her ID card last year took two weeks! She will be applying for University next year. I am dreading that performance! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been said before the approval rate is very small, similar to the approval rate for Certificate of Residence (Permanent Residence). But they are different items.

Still won't be easy but then why should it be. There's also the issue of privacy. Folks who gain Thai citizenship (and other items) may not want this to be made public, their choice. On the other hand if it is there to see in the Royal Gazzette so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few hours ago, I got 33% discount on a game of golf, for one. don't need to have Thai citizenship to get that golf discount in CM or Lamphun. All long term foreign residents pay the same as Thais for golf, just need to show pink ID card or Thai driver's license. Discount is closer to 50% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discount is closer to 50% At Seapines, tourists pay 2500 green fee, residents 1500, Thais 1000. There are a few golf courses I know that don't tell foreigners about reduced price for Thais, and I only found out by asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salerno Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) 12 minutes ago, Eaglekott said: How you easy can check the Thai ID number? Apart from the ID card being a Thai card (which apparently he is refusing to show you), the first digit denotes various "classes" of people; in the case of the guy you are talking about it would start with an 8 to denote "Foreign nationals who are living in Thailand permanently or Thai nationals by naturalization". Pointless just asking him what his ID number is as if he knows this he can just make it up. Edited February 28, 2023 by Salerno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seams like most applicants is Chinese, Indian or Lao.

I have a picture from another guy that has become a Thai Citizen last year, and his Thai ID starts with 3. His pink ID starts with 6, don't know if they are related somehow.
