Thai Citizen After 3 Years? Is This Real Or A Scam?

[trigger571]

After clicking an advert on facebook, I was a little surprised by the advertisers website that a foreigner can acquire Thai Citizenship after only 3 years. I thought this was only possible after 10 years. If this true or is the site a scam? Here is an excerpt of the site:

-------------------------------------

New Thai Laws make it easier than ever for foreigners wishing to become Thai Citizens to get expedited citizenship if they meet certain criteria. For a foreginer to be granted Thai citizenship under Thai law, he or she must be living and working in Thailand for 3 continuous years prior to application and be able to speak and understand basic Thai.

The benefits of Thai citizenship are numerous for those who choose this path. After your application has been approved and citizenship granted, the applicant is no longer considered a foreigner and therefore is entitled to ALL of the benefits of every other Thai National, including:

* Ability to own homes, businesses, and land 100% in your name

* No Thai Work Permit or Thai Visa issues EVER AGAIN

* Ability to apply for a Thai Passport

* Ability to be the sole (100% owner) shareholder in any Thai company

Qualifications for EXPEDITED Citizenship:

* Applicant must have been living Thailand for at least 3 consecutive years

* Applicant must have been employed and paying tax for at least 3 consecutive years

* Applicant must be married to Thai citizen

* Applicant must have full legal status to be in Thailand and have a current Thai Visa

* Applicant must show good moral behavior with no criminal convictions

* Applicant must have minimal Thai language skills (we will assist you with this)

Technically it is now possible to apply for Thai nationality after living 3 years in Thailand. But there are some other requirements as well and it is a long way.

But this was recently discussed in another thread. Therefor this one is closed. Please look up the other thread.
