PETER THE EATER Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Can anyone tell me what the current legal position is on dual nationality for a Thai National. If a Thai is granted a new nationality would that person lose their Thai nationality and citizen rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Peter.I have asked all my Thai and Phillipino friends (mostly female) here in London and they all seem to hold on to their National as well as their UK/Euro passports.According to Home Office info. duel nationality is not against any law-per say.I recon anyone who travels a lot should try for a second even if its only a Scottish one.The haggis symbol confers diplomatic status and quite rightly so. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf5370 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Hi, the way it goes is like this- In the UK (and US for that) it is okay to hold Dual Nationailty. The primary nationailty (Thai for your wife) takes percidence should it arise. This is British law. Second, Thailand. Thai law states that a person holds citizenship (Thai Nationality) unless they wish to renounce it - if so, it is revoked by the Thai Government. The UK does NOT require that you give up your nationlisation when you become a Brityish citizen - although you can if you wish. Britain does NOT report on the fact that you have become a citizen. Therefore, it is not illegal to be a dual national, and your wife will keep her Thai Nationality. Personally, not knowing if all Thai officials understand this, would not flout the fact to the Thai authorities, but there should be no problem. Same with the kid.

ttnin Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Hello. I am thai citizen in the US and also US citizen with two different names in each citizenship. My question to someone with this situation is how do you travel into and out of Thailand with 2 passports because I know that when you leave thailand the airline counter always check if you overstay your visa and when you get back to US immigration always look at your ticket for the duration that you left the country Anybody care to comment on it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
