sussex Posted Tuesday at 02:31 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:31 AM As part of my Thai citizenship application, I need proof that my parents were living legally in Thailand when I was born in the 1980s. Unfortunately, I cannot find my dad's passport from that time. I was once told by an immigration official that we can apply for documents from their archives, to find proof that my dad was here then. Has anyone done this before? How do we do it? How long does it take? Thanks for any help! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritsSikkink Posted Tuesday at 08:40 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:40 AM Why would you need proof that they were living here at the time you were born? I would think you need proof that one of them is Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I am applying under the Nationality Act 2551 which grants citizenship to foreign children born to foreign parents in Thailand in the 1980s.

You also have to prove a deep connection to Thailand. I knew a couple of guys who got their citizenship this way, but they lived in Thailand since birth consecutively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
