Trump Works at McDonald’s claims Kamala Harris 'never has

In a landmark decision by Thailand's cabinet, individuals from ethnic minority groups who have resided in the country for at least 15 years are now eligible to apply for Thai citizenship. This new resolution is a promising development for approximately 340,000 longtime settlers and an additional 140,000 of their Thai-born children, according to Chatchai Bangchuad, Secretary-General of the National Security Council.

 

While migrant workers from neighbouring countries who have similarly long tenures in Thailand remain excluded from this opportunity, the decision marks the continuation of a four-decade-long Thai government policy. This policy aims to integrate those unable to return to their home countries by granting them full citizenship rights, thus enabling them to fully partake in Thai society.

 

The application process requires eligible individuals to submit a petition at local district offices. While the screening might take up to a year, the final approval to gain citizenship has been expedited to just five days.

 

The Ministry of Interior has identified specific groups eligible for this new citizenship opportunity, including 120,000 settlers who arrived between 1984 and 1999, and another 215,000 who settled between 2005 and 2011, along with their Thai-born children.

 

Applicants must ensure their names are listed on household registration documents, possess a 13-digit ID card, pledge loyalty to Thailand, respect the nation’s democratic system, and be unable to return to their country of origin. This move reaffirms Thailand's commitment to embracing those who have long contributed to its diverse society.

Depends on nationality. Soon many old european countries will dissolve into some hopeless goo - thanks to new generation of dumbest politicians ever. Pity

So some children, born in Thailand, have no medical or educational support available until they are 15.

Very sad.

Pledging loyalty to Thailand, does that still mean you have to stand up and sing the Thai national athame and that other Thai song.

Why? Politicians don't.  For that matter, does the country even have a democratic system?

I would never want the Thai citizenship.. especially with the expectations you have to follow... I love my freedom  of speech, and my benefits from my country were I worked for.... Thailand is good to live in, but that's it

More like a plutocracy.

Westerner men residing with their Thai families are free to go to Hell.

Unless you're been sleeping for the last 100 years, it's obvious that the government serves at the pleasure of the military. If they don't like it, out it goes.

Of course, a stupid question.

 

You don't have to, but it is highly recommended unless you want to serve a lengthy prison sentence. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are a citizen or not.
